The Navigation and Media layer can be activated holding the outer left and right thumb keys, respectively.
- 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.
- For that to work better, hjkl should be disabled in normal and visual modes:
- 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.
- 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.
