Choose the keys comfy for you relative to thumb over modifier key and
finger tips poised to strike like in a DOOM Eternal Deathmatch.

Localise the layout.

I don't have the luxury of 3 modifier keys right of my spacebar and have
the following experimental layout.  The CAPSLOCK 'on' doesn't function
like holding the SHIFT key down for, for example, '(kbd "H-S-l")'.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(global-set-key (kbd "H-[") 'recenter-top-bottom)

(global-set-key (kbd "H-p") 'left-char)
(global-set-key (kbd "H-\\") 'right-char)
(global-set-key (kbd "H-C-p") 'move-beginning-of-line)
(global-set-key (kbd "H-C-\\") 'move-end-of-line)

(define-key global-map (kbd "H-l") 'previous-line)
(define-key global-map (kbd "H-.") 'next-line)
(define-key global-map (kbd "H-C-l") 'backward-paragraph)
(define-key global-map (kbd "H-C-.") 'forward-paragraph)
