| <p>That being said, a <kbd>Shift</kbd> modifier on the home row can be usefull for shortcuts, especially | ||
| ones involving keys out of the primary layer (such as the Function keys). If you rely on these | ||
| kinds of shortcuts, you can activate the pinky HRM <kbd>Shift</kbd> in the settings. In that case, | ||
| make sure you don't start using them while typing text, as this habbit will come back to bite you later.</p> |

Not sure about the wording here (I mean, I like it, just not sure it fits the general tone of the page?), so I’d like @fabi1cazenave ’s opinion on that
(also if we end up keeping it: need to fix the typo on « habit »)

Hi,
I noticed the section about HRM shift was still in TODO. I thought that it would be neat to have a stub as a lot of people are going to pley with their new keyboard layout these months. I know you want to think and experiment more about smart use of HRM on different layers and there might be more to say in the future, but better document the current option as for now?
