You can have as many layers on top of your base layer as you want. For instance, you can have your regular QWERTY layout, a Colemak/ Dvorak layout, a numbers and symbols layer, a function keys layer, a layer for mouse navigation and system controls --- all in a 60% keyboard. When a particular layer is active, any keypress is interpreted according to the layout defined in that layer. With proper configurations, you can jump to a specific layer or switch to one for the next keypress, or do various other complex manipulations. +A layer is a set of keymaps assigned to your keyboard's buttons.

You can have a single button do different things based on whether it is pressed quickly in succession, or pressed once, or held. For example, you can configure the **Caps Lock** key to act as an **Escape** button when pressed once and released, a **Ctrl** modifier when held-down, and a button to jump to a layer when pressed twice quickly in succession. You can make the left and right **Shift** keys to act like left and right parentheses (like the Space Cadet Shift keys) when tapped once, and regular **Shift** keys when held down. The possibilities are infinite! +Multi-Use Buttons are one of the distinguishing features of KMonad.
