What I like to do for my small form keyboards is assign PgUP PgDN Home and End onto the arrow keys under a separate layer. You could do that here and free up two of those keys for modifiers. And leave insert where it is. Or you could do ins, home, and end on those 3 keys and move pgup and pgdn to the arrow keys. The beauty of designing your own is that you have the freedom to make these choices and pick what’s best for you!

It’s useful when you’re writing documents home will take you to the beginning of the document and end will take you to the end so you don’t have to scroll and click. When writing code home will take you to the beginning of the line and end will take you to the end. The insert key can be useful in some situations but I find the home and end keys to be used more often.

Looks great, other people also have great suggestions. The only change I would make is to change insert key to be home/end. I use the home and end key way more often than the insert key. You could use home and then shift+home can be your end, and hide the insert keybind on another layer close by.
