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.
  • In VIM, navigation with hjkl should be ignored in favor of the navigation with the fingers in the home position, using the navigation layer.
    • For that to work better, hjkl should be disabled in normal and visual modes:
      nnoremap h <nop>
      nnoremap j <nop>
      nnoremap k <nop>
      nnoremap l <nop>
      vnoremap h <nop>
      vnoremap j <nop>
      vnoremap k <nop>
      vnoremap l <nop>
    • This trade-off turns the navigation easier and ubiquitous and makes even more sense when using other layout than qwerty.

Media

  • The Media layer gives access to One-Shot Modifiers, Media controls, Esc and a Save shortcut.
  • The right side of this layer gives access to media keys and shortcuts to toggle the Navigation or Numpad layers on or off.

Navigation Layer Toggle

  • A clone of the Navigation layer can be toggled on permanently using the Media 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 Maintenance layer.
