Experiments ----------------------------------------- - - * To figure things out about the toolset - * I'm an Emacs guy, so will be needing a fair bit of tuning - * It made sense to mess around some with keyboard maps. - - I tried added Workman alongside Dvorak and Colemak - - Boy, oh boy, these don't help!!! - - I have done 30 years of learning of Emacs key mappings, and - these alternative keyboards massively mess me up - - I added a keypad, originally based on keymaps/numpad.c, but - mighty substantially revised, as that one seems to be rotated 90 - degrees from usual conventions for number pads - * The keypad layer also includes some sample "hacks" of cool things, - all using actions attached in using the function action_get_macro() - - Key [1][2] aka "q" types out my name, cbbrowne, as a fun example - of a key generating a bunch of keystrokes. The keystroke is - sufficiently inconvenient that it isn't terribly practical for me - to use it, but hey, it shows how others might use this facility - in a more useful context. - - Key [2][2] aka "a" uses a random number generator to select a digit 0-9 at random - - Key [3][2] aka "z" uses a random number generator to select a letter a-z at random - - Key [1][3] aka "e" spits out the keymap version number - -2. Some code structure ideas ---------------------------------------------------- - - Each layer is given a name to aid in readability, which is then - used in the keymap matrix below. The underscores do not denote - anything - you can have a layer called STUFF or any other name. - - Layer names don't all need to be of the same length, obviously, and - you could also skip them entirely and just use numbers, though that - means needing to manage the numbers. - - It is preferable to keep the symbols short so that a line worth of - key mappings fits compactly onto a line of code. It might be an - interesting idea to express the maps rotated 90%, so that you - only need to fit 4 symbols onto each line, rather than 12. - - I used enums to manage layer IDs and macro IDs so that I don't need - to care (beyond "start at 0", and arguably that's not needed) about - their values. - -3. Things I did not like about the default mapping ---------------------------------------------------------- - - * I found control too hard to get to. I use it more than Tab, so - switched it there. - * Having dash on [lower-j] is a bit nonintuitive, but may be OK - * I switched ESC/TAB/M(0) around - * I'm suspicious that I want to shift M(0) from [4][1] to [4][2], - and shift ESC off the first column so KC_LCTL and KC_LALT can - be on the first column. - * I needed to swap ' and ENTER - -4. TODO ---------------------------------------------------------- - - * I use tmux quite a lot; the mollat keymap seems to have some - interesting helpers. It might be interesting to add a "tmux - layer" - * The mollat tmux layer also suggests some thoughts about Emacs - helpers. - * I do not presently have anything that handles X11 screen - switching, as with Control-Alt-various - - - |
