Swapping CTRL and CapsLock on Pok3r?
« on: Fri, 12 May 2017, 07:54:30 »
Been using the HHKB layout so long that it seems illogical to not have the CTRL key where caps lock normally is. I'm looking to order a Pok3r in the next day or two, but only if I can easily switch those two keys. How do you go about doing that?

Sorry, just realised, this just turns CapsLock off. and turns it into FN.

You might be able to then re-map "FN" to "CTRL"

I just got the Pok3r yesterday and I haven't looked into the programming yet but there are 4 layers, default and programmable 2,3 and 4. I don't know yet whether you can program only FN + key combinations or actually you can also assign the keys to the layer without using the FN key but surely someone will pop in in a moment and set this straight. Meanwhile maybe it would be beneficial to get used to the regular control location if you are not using your HHKB anymore? I haven't seen many boards with HHBK layout. Also you could utilize the CapsLock as the Fn key which is very handy.

as a gamer i'm already too used to the HHKB control location to change it out. it's much more efficient and that's why I got the board in the first place
