Title: How to use QMK for tap arrow key functions?
Post by: deepalicious on Thu, 11 July 2019, 07:56:58

So recently I've been looking at the Anne Pro 2, but I'm especially curious about how you can just tap the keys on the bottom right of the keyboard to access the arrow keys. I've been playing around with QMK and I was wondering if that was even possible to do on a standard, programmable 60%?

If anyone knows a solution to this, any advice would be appreciated!

Yes, it is possible. If you want your arrows to be on mods,  then use MT(MOD_HOLD, KC_TAP), where MOD_HOLD is your modifier which will be registered when you hold a button, and KC_TAP is a keycode which will be registered when you tap a button. https://beta.docs.qmk.fm/features/feature_advanced_keycodes#mod-tap (https://beta.docs.qmk.fm/features/feature_advanced_keycodes#mod-tap)

Would there be a way to do this in QMK configurator? Sorry, I'm new to this and I really don't want to have to learn how to program different layouts
