* Chocofi 36 with QMK
** The keyboard
https://github.com/pashutk/chocofi/
I got a prebuilt one with hotswap and seapi picro presoldered and
added my choc v1 brown switches.
** The Keymap
Alpha layer is ColemakDH.

Since a lot of time is spent navigating code I use a locked =NAV= layer,
which makes it easy to move the cursor/screen. Most of my time coding

is spent in VSCode. Therefore, often used combos like =Ctrl+f=, =Ctrl+h=
(find an replace) and their shifted variants (find/replace in project)
are available in the =NAV= layer with single keystrokes.

2. link this directory into =qmk_firmware/keyboards/crkbd/rev1/keymaps/choc_colemak_36=
3. compile and flash
assumes right usbc is connected
#+begin_src bash
cd ~/src/qmk_firmware/ && source env/bin/activate
qmk compile --keyboard=crkbd/rev1 --keymap=choc_colemak_36 -e CONVERT_TO=promicro_rp2040

** TODO Missing stuff
- activate number layer with a left-hand key
- additional to FUN_NAV layer, create a pure nav layer
- remove HomeRowMods from FUN_NAV layer
- add useful shortcuts to the new PURE_NAV layer (e.g. WM_keys)
2023-09-08 22:00:16 +02:00
- backtick key
- umlauts and sharp s
- euro € key
** Ideas for improvement
- for nav layer, maybe add combined keys for Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Alt and Shift+Alt
- this seems like a great example of composed layers and support for different environments

- split up =SYM_NUM= layer, move missing symbols (from NAV layer to SYMBOLS layer)
- hints for better symbols layers: https://getreuer.info/posts/keyboards/symbol-layer/index.html
- make =.= and =,= available in new =NUM= layer for easier number input
- build a dedicated GUI Nav layer for i3wm/sway
- and probably Windows/KDE window actions
- make =select words= work (by emulating Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right)
