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

Alpha layer is Colemak-DH mod.

Since a lot of time is spent navigating code I use a locked =NAV= layer,
|
2023-09-24 18:22:34 +02:00
|
|
|
which makes it easy to move the cursor/screen. Most of my time coding
|
2023-09-08 22:00:16 +02:00
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
2025-01-05 23:27:55 +01:00
|
|
|
Because my board uses a sea Pi Micro (RPi2040 type), I have to mount
|
|
|
|
|
the controller as a file system and copy the firmware file to that.
|
|
|
|
|
Most other microcontrollers want to be directly connected and flashed via USB.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
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 usb-c of the right-hand half is connected

qmk compile --keyboard=crkbd/rev1 --keymap=choc_colemak_36 -e CONVERT_TO=promicro_rp2040
|

** TODO Missing stuff
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-09-24 18:22:34 +02:00
|
|
|
- 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)
