I'm convinced they used such a weird placement of some things like that to prompt/goad people into exploring the built-in remapping.

The bizarre separation of the arrow keys into left-right and up-down on two different hands was the very first thing I fixed. Now the bottom four keys on my right keywell are left, down, up, right (and I moved the square brackets to the left hand where the left/right were).

(This isn't really ideal because now [] requires a lot of finger travel to type compared to how often I type them. I was excited for the 360 supporting ZMK but I've sworn off bluetooth where it can be avoided, so I'm probably going to just keep my plain-old Advantage until it dies and see if they're "fixed" the 360 line.)
