Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Hello everyone, I recently bought a piantor keyboard and I am having trouble with qmk. I have configured two layer keys(num, nav) each of them switches to different layer and I want to be able to hold both of them to access fourth layer(CzechLayer), but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Here is my keymap.c file:

#include QMK_KEYBOARD_H
#include "keymap_czech.h"

enum layers {
    DefaultLayer,
    NumLayer,
    NavLayer,
    CzechLayer,
};

const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {
    [DefaultLayer] = LAYOUT_split_3x6_3(
        KC_PIPE, KC_Q,         KC_W,         KC_E,         KC_R,         KC_T,          KC_Y,    KC_U,         KC_I,         KC_O,         KC_P,            KC_PPLS,

That is a bit too complicated for me, I hardly manage with two layer keys. But thanks

It's much easier as you imagine. It always one key and in any layout it works the same. If I need to switch to nums layout I always tap twice. If I hold I switch to chars layout. This is much more intuitive than any key combination
