Modes are bad. Therefore LeapMode is good. Customization is bad. Therefore allow no customization whatsoever. Icons are bad. Therefore, stick to text.

LEAP is only the actual button on the keyboard; it keys to many different functions that are all conceptually related to navigation. LeapMode was implemented
