I got a prebuilt one with hotswap and seapi picro presoldered and
|
|
|
|
|
added my choc v1 brown switches.

|
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.

** Setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. follow QMK initial setup (python venv with pip)
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
sudo mount /dev/sdb? /mnt/
|
|
|
|
|
sudo cp crkbd_rev1_choc_colemak_36_promicro_rp2040.uf2 /mnt/
|
|
|
|
|
sudo umount /mnt
|
|
|
|
|
#+end_src

** TODO Missing stuff
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Shift for right hand
|
|
|
|
|
- Ctrl for left hand
|
|
|
|
|
- Alt on base layer
|
|
|
|
|
- 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

- https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/layouts/community/ergodox/german-kinergo/keymap.c#L101
|
|
|
|
|
- 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)
