prefix+p — Switch to the previous layout

Language · 中文 · English · 日本語

← Back to Settings Help

prefix+p is the reverse of prefix+n: it walks one step backward through the matching layout list.

Default chord: p · Config key: prev_layout · Change in Settings → Hotkeys → Layout navigation

Behavior

  • The list scope, ordering, and skip rules are exactly the same as prefix+n.
  • Wraps from the head back to the tail (reverse cycle).
  • Can be pressed in rapid succession.
  • Same silent rejection conditions.

Relationship to next_layout

prefix+n and prefix+p go together: if you overshoot with n, press p to back up one.

If you only ever toggle between 2 layouts, prefix+l is more ergonomic than n/p — you don’t need to count steps.

See the prefix+n doc for details.
