This repository is for my custom QMK code for both keymaps (i.e. just the keyboard layout and features), as well as code for a handwired keyboard (the matrix and keyboard layout).
I keep this as as separate directory to the forked qmk_firmware directory and use the setup script to create symlinks into the relevant directories in qmk_firmware so that I can build the firmware for my boards and layouts. I shamelessly stole this idea from someone else's QMK configs, but I can't remember which setup now, I'm afraid. I'm happy to include a link if someone recognises it.
Currently (December 2023) my daily driver.
I have a wired and a BLE version of the TOTEM keyboard, and this firmware obviously runs the wired version (I have a ZMK version too). I started with @GEIGEIGEIST's own version of a QMK layout, then tweaked a lot. The layout itself and organisation of the layers is heavily influenced by miryoku (hence, 'miryokuish'), but it also uses ideas for combos and key overrides from urob's config, like making shift+, into semi-colon, shift+. into colon, and shift+? into exclamation mark.
I rely heavily on urob's 'timer-less Homerow Mods' in ZMK, and in searching for an equivalent for that in QMK, I found Suraj's brilliant bilateral combinations, which I use by simply cloning his forked version of QMK and adding the config values he suggests. I have long been an fan of Home Row Mods (aka HRM), but they are not without their compromises of delays to typing of accidentally activating modifiers, but both of these solutions have pretty much removed all of those compromises and made typing feel completely natural, while enjoying super-convenient and ergonomic access to all my modifiers on the home row. I will gradually port this basic keymap and the HRM setup to all my keyboards, whether wired or BLE.
Build with:
qmk compile -kb totem -km miryokuishThis is a handwired keyboard I built based around the Corne keyboard. It has OLED screens and mini-E RGB LEDs.
Build with:
qmk compile -kb hwcrkbd -km bsagThis is a keymap for a 34 key Ferris Sweep v2.1 which is a super-compact 3x5+2 Kailh Choc keyboard. I've taken inspiration from a lot of other users' keymaps:
- Layer arrangement and 'numword' setup from Jonas Hietala
- 'capsword' setup from Pascal Getreuer
- 'layer lock' also from Pascal Getreuer
...and probably many others that I've forgotten about.
The layout uses combos on the base layer for easy access to punctuation on the base layer that I don't have space for otherwise (all the types of braces, dash, underscore, semi-colon and colon). I have tried a couple of non-qwerty base layouts, but I currently use Colemak Mod-DH.
You can see the most recent layout on Keyboard Layout Editor, though I haven't found a good way to represent combos, so you will have to look at keymap.c for those.
This keymap is for a 42 key Corne keyboard, but only maps the 34 keys shared with the Ferris. It's a temporary measure so that I can have the same layout on keyboards at home and work, until I've had a chance to build another Ferris. Likely to be temporary and not updated.
With Docker running, the alternative way to build any of these maps is to:
cd /path/to/qmk_firmware
util/docker_build.sh <keyboard>:<keymap>
