This will be set to Down Arrow, to complete that arrow cluster. + +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 +the header file `./base_qwerty_basearrow.h` for more details. + + +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. + + +Qwerty keymaps +-------------- + +──────────Qwerty─────────────── + + +Layer: `..._BASE` + + +Layer: `..._NSY` + +──────────in common──────────── + +(…) + +For more about the other layers, see ➡  ⬅ + + + +Layers (text) +============= + + ───────────────Qwerty───────────────── + + Layer _..._BASE (Letters).
