cmd+shift+v -> unformatted paste
cmd+shift+p -> command palette
I use Karabiner and use right_command+v for the clipboard launcher without interfering with the other apps.
It sounds like you are waiting on a fantasy position that has both interesting work and pays at least the same as your current position, which you have 13 years of experience in. That's not usually how life works. There are trade-offs.
If you want to do a different type of work that you don't have any professional experience in, you are going to have to take a pay cut. As you mentioned, you're fortunate to be making 3x what you need. It's up to you whether it's worth "only" making 2x what you need in order to do work you find more engaging.
This is not a unique circumstance. People make this trade-off all the time. Maybe talk to some people who did.
I guess what I feel is missing is "Keychron for mice". Keychron took the pretty niche mechanical keyboard market which was mostly targeted towards gamers or extreme optimizers and tailored it for productivity with their default macOS compatibility. I doubt the Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard would exist if Keychron didn't exist, which I take as a sign of their success.
Using third-party software isn't that big of a deal and is not uncommon in the keyboard world. I suppose what's most surprising to me is the lack of discourse and community around on the topic.
The caps lock key on the other hand... I would argue should definitely be backspace.
Compare that to the reality that in order to solve housing you need to build more houses, and to do that you have to simplify and speed up permitting, allow more multi-unit housing next to existing housing, existing home owner's properties may not go up in value indefinitely and many will decrease in value, etc.
That's a much tougher sell. Also look a the politicians' incentives. Voters are more likely to understand and have an emotional response to AirBnB being banned than the permit process being sped up by 50%.
Lenders are incentivized to loan as much out as possible because their risk is so low, and so there is no reason to NOT approve a $150,000 loan to a student earning a degree which will realistically net them $40,000 a year.
As soon as you let borrowers default, the math starts to make sense again. Lenders will have to evaluate how much they are willing to lend a student based on their expected earnings post-graduation. Universities won't be able to increase tuition at such an inflated rate since there wouldn't be infinite money being pumped into the system. College may actually become affordable again over time.
It's not a mystery what the actual problem is here.
