How do you navigate in text? In particular, I use very much Shift+Home/end/pgup/pgdown and shift+(ctrl+)cursor keys. This is doable in my current ergodox layout, but only once -- alternating becomes very inconvenient. Example: shift down (to select text), go a line up, up, up, then to the home, then release the shift.

I'm not the parent commenter, but I use a Dygma Raise (60% split kb). It has some issues but navigation hasn't been a problem. I use two of the thumb buttons as momentary (push-and-hold) layer shifts, with hjkl (and asdf) becoming arrow keys as long as that navigation layer is active, and qerf/yuio becoming home/end/pgup/pgdown in that navigation layer.

I don't use shift with page up or down as I don't select pages of text at once, but for the Anne Pro 2, page up and down work normally due to being accessed via modifier keys, same with arrow keys.
