thank you. he does escape in the end.
I notice UHN IKM feels better with the left hand than the right, which makes Z to undo a bit awkward.
I've thought about more of an I I shape rather than the O. e.g numpad 741 963 or TFC ESZ, but I want to use combined inputs for different moves in a different game (e.g. IU for north jump diagonally/cleave attack/reach attack) and that might feel weird to do with TE or 97.
