QWZE arrows

Have a keyboard you really like, but you're too used to AZERTY to switch to QWERTY? This extension is for you! It fixes the biggest issue with this setup: there is one less key on your keyboard.

Features

'w' (or 'z' in qwerty) is the closest key to the azerty '<' & '>' key, apart from the shift key which expands above it. It is also seldom repeated in programming or writing, and is hence the perfect key to use for our purpose.

  • Intuitive Arrow Typing: Type 'ww' for a left arrow (<) and 'xx' for a right arrow (>), which will automatically convert to arrow symbols.
  • Easy Toggling: Easily enable or disable arrow insertion with alt+w
  • W-only Mode: You can also get even closer to the full AZERTY experience by using 'w' for both left and right arrows. This can be toggled with alt+x.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes to the following settings:

  • qwze-arrows.enabled: Enable or disable arrow insertion. Enabled by default.
  • qwze-arrows.wOnly: Use 'w' for both left and right arrows. Disabled by default.
