Sometimes its the last thing I think about in a refactor and I end up cornering myself into a place where I cant get into that layer anymore. I’ve started putting hardware switches on my newer builds, but some older builds don’t have a hardware one, so it requires disassembly and jumping the microcontroller. Even when I have one though, I gotta flip my board over and its annoying sometimes, so I prefer to have a keystroke for it. Two Hand hold down ────────────────── What I’ve landed on recently is the idea of a two hand hold down combo for the bootloader. These combos are ones that there is no way I can hit without picking my hands up from their normal homerow position and pressing four keys simultaneously with pointer and thumbs.
