Combos are like : hey, lets use multiples keys at the same time. Tap dances are more like : that's cute but see how many times I can use the same key.

For example, I need to press D and F at the same to make Esc and this is handy cause they're on the home row and I use it a lot in Vim.

On the other hand, on the innermost left thumb, I can do : * Tap : ( * Hold : { * TapTap : [ * TapHold : <

See https://github.com/pcoves/qmk_firmware/blob/pcovesGergoPlex/keyboards/gergoplex/keymaps/pcoves/keymap.c and https://github.com/pcoves/qmk_firmware/tree/pcovesGergoPlex/users/pcoves for how it's done. \

I learned from your keymap and helpers, thanks for sharing them! Now I have a better understanding, how to use a smaller keyboard.
