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.
Setup
- follow QMK initial setup (python venv with pip)
- link this directory into
qmk_firmware/keyboards/crkbd/rev1/keymaps/choc_colemak_36
- compile and flash assumes right usbc is connected
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
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)
- 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/0x64746b/qmk_firmware/blob/chocofi/keyboards/chocofi/keymaps/dtk35/keymap.c

HomeRowMods/BottomRowMods and other ideas: https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/tiejpp/home_row_mods_what_works_for_you/
-
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 newNUM
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)
