Navigation and Media

The Navigation and Media layer can be activated holding the outer left and right thumb keys, respectively.

Navigation

  • The Navigation layer gives access to Standard Modifiers, Enter, Tab, Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down and VIM style navigation, as well as Esc and a Save shortcut.
  • There are also shortcuts to some common actions in this layer, like searching browser tabs, opening files explorer, calculator or a terminal. This is implemented using Meh keys and software mapping.

VIM Remaps

Standard Mods

  • Standard modifiers are available in Navigation the layer.
  • These are not one shot mods, which is useful to trigger some shortcuts like Shift+Shift or Ctrl+Ctrl in IntelliJ, for example.

Media

  • The Media layer gives access to Standard Modifiers, Media controls, Esc and a Save shortcut.

Mouse Keys

  • In the left side of the Media layer, there are keys to control the mouse.

Fixed Navigation Layer

  • A fixed version of the Navigation layer can be toggled on permanently using the Shortcuts layer.
  • This clone works the same way as the original Navigation layer, but the outer right thumb key will activate the Media layer instead of the System layer.

Panic Mode Combo

  • All fixable layers have a Panic Mode combo that returns the keyboard to the base layer. This combo is formed by the top three keys in the left side of the keyboard.
