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, Tab, Esc, Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down and VIM style navigation.
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, Enter and Tab.
The right side of this layer gives access to media keys and a shortcut to toggle the Navigation layer on.

Window Swapper

Window Swapper is a macro that performs Alt-Tab on Windows/Linux and Cmd+Tab on MacOS, holding the modifier between keypresses. It is available in the Navigation layer.
Source Code: window_swapper.c

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.
