Happy to see the positive reception so far! :)

Regarding my G-keys, they have 3 sets of 6 keys each, which are similar to Ins, Del, Home, etc. So, I set them to use those keys plus modifiers that I don't use in combination with those keys. So:

G1 - alt + insert
G2 - alt + home
G3 - alt + pageup
G4 - alt + delete
G5 - alt + end
G6 - alt + pagedown

G7 - right shift + insert
G8 - right shift + home
G9 - right shift + pageup
G10 - right shift + delete
G11 - right shift + end
G12 - right shift + pagedown

G13 - right alt + right shift + insert
G14 - right alt + right shift + home
G15 - right alt + right shift + pageup
G16 - right alt + right shift + delete
G17 - right alt + right shift + end
G18 - right alt + right shift + pagedown

Short version: use combinations of modifiers + keys that you'll never use.
