Hi! I’m relatively new to mechanical keyboards and I need some help.
I need a 60% that will allow to toggle between two mode, one for writing and one for cursor movement with arrows (possibly on IJKL).
From what I found most of the 60% use the Fn button for arrows, but you have to keep it pressed, which will not work for me… I need to actually toggle the alternative layout. Some 60% have a “Fn lock” to support this, but it’s hard to tell by just looking at their specs…
Do you know any model with a similar feature?
Why not have both?
I’m currently on a TLK, and mostly because I want to learn to stop moving my hands away from the home row. It’s not even only about arrows, but also home/end page up/down etc. and combinations with them which I use a lot and it just get slow and weird since I have to reposition my hands every time… mine is currently quite limited in what I can program it to do unfortunately.
Sorry, forgot to respond, I use fn+arrows for home/end/pgup/dn. This is why I got a pcb that was capable of accommodating the arrow cluster (dz60, bt60v2. I use a lot of combos with shift and ctrl as well to select/mark stuff and jump back and forth, so barring getting used to hjkl, I found this more comfortable.
