Hey! My layers don't look like this!
If your layers do not look like the above, download the default backup and loading it from preferences > restore backup
But where are my arrows? And the number pad??
Every Defy comes with preinstalled layers that include all the other keys present on larger keyboards: the arrows, the F keys, the number pad, and the media keys... you name it.
This is layer 2

I still need my Function and media keys!
Don't worry those are on layer 3.

Worried about transitioning to columnar?
Don't be. Here's a video that will help 😊
But how do I access those layers? Do I need an interdimensional portal?
Not really; you just need to hold a key.
By default, you can access layer 2 and 3 by holding the corresponding thumbkey.

Of course, you can customize what's in those layer and how to access them, create up to 10 custom layers, and much more...
