I always forget this stuff so putting it here for a reference.

## My settings

```none
Caps lock -> Fn
Fn + h -> left
Fn + j -> down
Fn + k -> up
Fn + l -> right
Fn + f -> page down
Fn + b -> page up
Del -> Esc
Esc -> backtick
Fn + Esc -> Esc
```

To summarize: Caps lock as function (Fn), vim arrow keys, regular backtick/tilda, swap delete to Esc


## Guide

### 1) Switch to a profile other than 1

`Fn + Alt + 2` for profile 2

Profile 1 cannot be changed.

You can verify this with `Fn + Alt + Esc`. The profile number will blink.

### 2) Caps lock -> Fn

Must use "Key Switch Functions" which is different than macro mode for other key remapping.

- `Fn + Alt + k` for 5 seconds
- Press `Capslock` once
- Press `Esc` to finish

### 3) Other bindings with macro recording mode

In general:

- `Fn + Alt + Tab` for 3 seconds to enter recording mode
- Press the key (or key combo) you want to rebind
- Press the new key it should become
- `Fn + Alt + Tab` to save that macro
- You can continue setting or exit exit recording mode with `Fn + Alt + Tab`

#### Example for `Fn + j -> down`:

- Be in recording mode
- Press `Fn` and `j`
- Press `down arrow`
- `Fn + Alt + Tab` to save

If you changed `Caps lock` to `Fn`, you must use the dedicated `Fn` key to set your binding.

#### Example for `Del -> Esc`:

- Be in recording mode
- Press `Del`
- Press `Esc`
- `Fn + Alt + Tab` to save

#### Example for `Fn + Esc -> Esc`:

- Be in recording mode
- Press `Fn` and `Esc`
- Press `Esc`
- `Fn + Alt + Tab` to save

## Notes

The manual says that once you enter recording mode, "Caps Lock or indicator lights will flash slowly". I only see the `Fn` key turn red on mine.

When you enter macro recording mode the keys you have set macros for will be illuminated.

Here you can see `Del,Esc` light up because I have these set as macros:

When you hold `Fn` in recording mode you'll see the keys you have set macros for that lead with `Fn` illuminated.

So here you can see all the `h,j,k,l,f,b,Esc` light up because I have `Fn + h`, `Fn + j`, `Fn + k` ... already set:
