# Home Row Navigation

Hold **Caps Lock** to move through text without reaching for the arrow keys. Windows only.

| Key held with Caps Lock | Action |
|---|---|
| H / J / K / L | Left / down / up / right |
| U / O | Start / end of line |
| N / M | Previous / next word |

Hold **Shift** too to select text. Release Caps Lock to type normally. Unmapped keys still type while Caps Lock is held.

## Settings

- **Layer key:** choose the key to hold. It replaces that key's usual action, including Caps Lock.
- **Arrow keys:** choose `hjkl` or `ijkl`.
- **Repeat delay / Repeat interval:** adjust how soon and how quickly held keys repeat.
- **Pass through in these apps:** list program names, separated by commas, such as `notepad.exe`. Navigation shortcuts stay off in those apps.

Word movement uses Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right, so it depends on the app supporting those shortcuts. Use on Windows hardware remains unverified.
