The Orange Voyager

Hey all! I thought I’d post this as it was a time consuming process to do but it was totally worth it to give my Voyager a new lease of life from the drab black it previously was. Black is a great colour but I felt it could be better, especially after I came across an article by Jo Williams: https://blog.zsa.io/spray-paint-your-keyboard/

I read through the article and looked at their completed keyboard, then looked at mine, then looked at theirs again and looked at mine again… you catch the drift.

So, I decided to make my kids pick the colour. We settled on an orange colour after addressing (mostly me) that Dad would rather not have a “pink princess keyboard”. 🤣

After a week of priming, painting and clear coating and waiting for keycaps, it is finished!

Thanks to ZSA for the article, it really did a great job to support me in this.

Has anyone else done any fun colours with their Voyager?

Tip to significantly reduce cursor usage

I have a TO layer that I go into. This layer's keys are organized like a numpad, and when you tap them, they return Win+numbers (Win+1, Win+,2, Win+3, etc). Double-tapping returns Win+Shift+numbers.

This allows me to open any window on my taskbar with the push of a button. No need to keep going back and forth from my taskbar to get to any of my windows.

At first I thought this would mainly be useful when opening new windows. However, it's also very useful for working with your existing windows. Say you have Excel already open in Win+3 position, but the last window you clicked on was Firefox. Of course, this usually means you need to click somewhere in Excel before you can start using arrow keys, etc. in it.

Not anymore. Just press Win+3 and now you can move freely in Excel without any cursor movement needed whatsoever.

Sorry if any of this is obvious to some of you. I just feel like I unlocked such a massive navigation buff.

Travel case for switches

As I have removed the top row of switches, if one was to fail on a long trip I’d be in trouble… thankfully I can now carry two spares in the travel case permanently !

Enable Continuous Scrolling on Trackball Navigator?

Hello fellow voyagerers. Is there a way to enable smooth/continuous scrolling on the trackball Navigator? By default, it seems to emulate a mouse wheel's stepped scrolling behavior by jumping several lines at a time, and inspecting raw keyboard input reveals that the Voyager is only producing scroll events at these sparse intervals. Same experience across Windows 11 and Ubuntu (GNOME and KDE Plasma).

If this is a fundamental limitation (hard to believe), is the solution simply to manually decrease the scroll step size on every computer that I use?

What has been your experience with scrolling on the trackball Navigator? IMO it would feel much more natural if scroll events were generated with the same granularity as cursor movement events. Is there a setting for this in Oryx that I just haven't found? (yes, I'm stalling on building QMK myself)

Thanks.
