26. Toggle night color - PR: media layer improvements #37
27. Notifications - PR: media layer improvements #37
28. Leader key (https://github.com/urob/zmk-leader-key) - could be useful for Czech letters (for which I fallback to regular keyboard today) or things like BOOT and SYS
29. Adaptive key (https://github.com/urob/zmk-adaptive-key) - seems to complex and I don't see a use-case now
30. Auto layer (https://github.com/urob/zmk-auto-layer) - improvement over the continue-list of caps_word and num_word
31. VSCode case transformation - I have a few keybindings gated by CTRL + K to tranform casing of selected text in VSCode (https://github.com/kucera-lukas/dotfiles/blob/main/home/dot_config/private_Code/User/keybindings.json). Making these a bit easier would be great as CTRL + K is annoying
32. OS specific differences (Linux, Windows, Mac)
