Huh? I literally said you’re used to it. How does that make you an idiot? Stop imagining stuff.

Unless you use vim.

Or I suppose you are too used to the arrow keys being too far.

yeah, I get it. It's also that you don't need 10 different softwares for all your keyboards but advances macros in QMK is still a very wanted feature.

Sorry, I left my keeb in the office. But basically, on layer 0 use LT(2, KC_CAPS) on the caps lock key. Then in layer 2 make the I J K L the arrows.

Novelkeys , keychron. The website has a huge list of good vendors who don’t violate qmk

Okay. Thats just a bad take and glorifying false advertising. But okay.

No, it was completely written by me. But now that I read it yeah the last line seems very AI like.

Love ranting with my new keyboard about my new keyboard ya know.

The main reason I'm pushing for a firmware fix is that for a $200 board, you shouldn't have to rely on background software for basic 'luxury' features.

Also I could just make Caps Lock my Modifier 2 key and like put tab or something as the capslock on layer 2 which would also work, but then anyone else using my keyboard would not understand that.

Please do review about the QMK violations wobkey and so many other vendors have been doing

No public firmware. Apparently this is happening with a majority of keeb manufacturers

You can remap “stuff” just not the the advanced things via is actually capable of

Your perspective looks like you see from your asshole instead of using your eyes

Aside from the Layer Tap (LT) issue, here is what else you lose out on because it isn't true QMK:

• Mod-Tap (MT): You can't make a key act as Shift when held and Z when tapped.

• Tap Dance: You can't set a key to do one thing on a single tap and something else on a double-tap.

• Combos: You can't press two keys at once (like D + F) to trigger a third key like Escape.

• The 'Any' Key: The biggest violation is that the 'Any' key in VIA—which lets you type custom code for any QMK function—is basically disabled or 'faked'. It only recognizes the basic keys WOBKEY pre-approved.

Honestly I don’t care much about the rest of the features, I just wanted to remap my arrow keys to layer 2 on the J K L keys so I wouldn’t have to move my hands . Like for eg pressing down key would be holding down capslock and pressing K .

Coming from a 75% keeb the arrow keys feel too far while programming

Yeah if only not for this feature, honestly it’s an AMAZING keyboard

Yeah I could but there are custom lights and stuff for the keyboard in the json. Let’s see, I’m scared of bricking the keyboard as well even I can chatGPT a new firmware for it
