Changes ✨

Shortcuts:

• Add combo for one-shot sticky shift on either thumb T4 + home row index finger for more reliable letter "I" capitalization without having to momentarily slow down your tying rhythm.
• Add combo for CapsWord on thumb T1 + home row index finger.
• Add combo for hyper (all mods) on right hand thumb T1 + T4. Thanks to ~pacothesage on Discord for requesting this feature: https://discord.com/channels/877392805654306816/1193051200938049546/1282370463724605442
• Change traditional pinky shifts into one-shot sticky shifts using the new &sticky_key_modtap behavior.
• Remove &thumb_lower_shift behavior for one-shot sticky shift on T6; use the new T4 + index combo instead.
• Function layer: swap calculator and browser keys to put browser key on home row and calculator on upper row.

Timing:

• Set holding time for home row mods according to finger strength:
  thumb=200ms, index=170ms, ring=200ms, middle=230ms, pinky=260ms.
• Reduce HOMEY_STREAK_DECAY from 160ms down to 150ms
