# Home Row Navigation

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

Needs Rebind 3.5.0 or newer on Windows.

| 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.

## Options

- **Layer key:** the key to hold. It loses its usual action while the package runs, so Caps Lock no longer toggles.
- **Arrow keys:** `hjkl`, or `ijkl` for I up, J left, K down, L right.
- **Repeat delay** and **Repeat interval:** how soon and how quickly held keys repeat.
- **Pass through in these apps:** program names separated by commas, such as `notepad.exe`. Navigation shortcuts stay off in those apps.

## Limits

- Word movement sends Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right, so it works only in apps that support those shortcuts.
- Use on Windows hardware remains unverified.

## Stop

Stop the package from the editor toolbar, or press **Left Ctrl + Left Alt + K** to stop all scripts.
