5.4 Nesting Layers
Layers that require more than one layer to activate are called nested layers. For example, I have a mouse layer that I activate with my right thumb and then within the mouse layer I can use my left thumb to activate my screen manipulation layer(left keyboard side) and media layer(right keyboard side). The screen and media layers are therefore nested layers.
Notice the "Shift 8" on the bottom to move to the screen manipulation / media layer
Nested layers should be avoided early on until you have a good understanding of which keys are most ergonomic and can be quickly layered upon. Most nested layers are used with 2 different thumb keys from my experience.
