# Minifan layout

|
||
Compiled for: Qwerty with arrows on Base
|
||
========================================
|
||
This version of Qwerty puts arrows on Base, and assumes the 'arrow' hardware key.
|
||
|
||
You have to manually set *#define `MORE_KEY__ARROW`* in `./user_config.h`,
|
||
to let compilation know you have that additional hardware key.
|
||
|
||
If not compiled with ‛Arrow’ hardware key, Base will not contain ‛Down arrow’.
|
||
You do not have to worry about what to set the additional hardware key to, on
|
||
the Base layer. This will be set to Down Arrow, to complete that arrow cluster.
|
||
|
||
Is arrows on Base efficient ?
|
||
=============================
|
||
This variation of Qwerty is not necessarily the recommended version of
|
||
Qwerty for a board with the additional ‛Arrow’ hardware key.
|
||
The regular Qwerty compile option can provide good arrow access.
|
||
|
||
Putting directional arrow keys on the Base layer will cost you several
|
||
keys on the Base layer: hold to layer `_RAR` (power, media, etc. layer),
|
||
GUI, and ‛/?’.
|
||
|
||
• The ‛/?’ key is displaced to the `_NSY` (numbers & symbols) layer, and is not
|
||
in the default spot for a Qwerty layout.
|
||
|
||
• The GUI key is lost. You could decide to also use the ‛south paw’/‛command’
|
||
hardware key, which is a GUI by default.
|
||
|
||
• Hold key to `_RAR` layer is lost. You can only reach `_RAR` layer using the
|
||
right shift toggle, which is on a short timer.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Have it both ways
|
||
=================
|
||
You could compile regular Qwerty on one of the Base pairs (‛Default’ or
|
||
‛Alternate’), and Qwerty _with Arrows on Base_ on the other. That way
|
||
you can switch to see what works for you. You could leave it like
|
||
that, and choose what you want depending on what you are doing.
|
||
|
||
Dual layout combination with Qwerty Base Arrow
|
||
==============================================
|
||
The option `QWERTY_BASEARROW_HARMONIZE` in `./base_qwerty_basearrow.h` is set
|
||
by default, causing the key ‛/?’ in the _regular_ Qwerty layout to _also_ be
|
||
located in the same spot as in this ‛Qwerty with Arrows on Base’ layout.
|
||
|
||
See also: ![./base_qwerty_basearrow.h](./base_qwerty_basearrow.h).
|
||
See also: ![./base_qwerty.md](./base_qwerty.md) for the reason behind this.

|

₂) Hold key “<2” with either٭ key “<3” or “3>” for _BON, single hold “<2” for _ACC. Marked: ┗━━…━━┛
|
||
₃) 'South paw' hardware configuration. Configurable, default shown.
|
||
₄) 'Arrow' hardware configuration. Set to Down Arrow.
|
||
₃ ₄) There are two more optional hardware keys, to make it easier to compile for
|
||
a 12x12x12x11 or 12x12x12x12 layouts.
|
||
₅) Left Shift when pressed with another key. Medium long: to toggle _PAD. Long: toggle _MOV.
|
||
₆) Right shift when pressed with another key. medium long: to toggle _FUN. Long: toggle _RAR.
|
||
|
||
Remarks: The left modifiers have a slight delay in combination with an outside pointer device (mouse, stylus).
|
||
It seems this will be difficult to fix, because it is spread over two devices. To avoid the
|
||
±0.2 second delay, activate a layer where the modifiers are direct (`_PAD`), using the layer toggle on left shift.
|
||
|
||
The key with ';' (Del;`_ACC`) does not auto-repeat on double tap, like QMK normal layer-tap keys.
|
||
There is an uncluttered _Delete_ on `_PAD`.
|
||
|
||
Holding both `_DEF_NSY` keys left and right of the "split space bar" (enter, space) results in layer `_DRA`.
|
||
|
||
Holding either one of the just above mentioned `_DEF_NSY` layer keys (<3 and 3>), with the `_ACC` layer key
|
||
(on <2) results in layer `_BON`.
