Keyboard Layers with ZSA Voyager

The ZSA Voyager, Le pièce de résistance.

Create custom layers with ORYX. Here is my current layout

  • Layer 1: Alpha characters and home row mods
  • Layer 2: Symbols and Numbers
  • Layer 3: I don’t use
  • Layer 4: Random stuff
  • Layer 5: I don’t use

Home row mods

Minimize your finger travel.

Shortcat and Vimium

Shortcat (works everywhere) and Vimium (chrome based browsers) help you navigate a GUI first world with your keyboard.
