From dd378601608849679ead6e2cccb74f7f29c131dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Wasson Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2016 08:43:02 -0700 Subject: Add one-hand support. This adds an action, `ACTION_SWAP_HANDS`, that swaps the the keys on the keyboard across a keymap-defined hemisphere in order to support one-hand typing without requiring a separate one-handed layer. See updated `doc/keymap.md` for more information. --- doc/keymap.md | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/keymap.md b/doc/keymap.md index d1985e567c..1285ad6cd1 100644 --- a/doc/keymap.md +++ b/doc/keymap.md @@ -455,6 +455,24 @@ Turn the backlight on and off without changing level. +### 2.6 Swap-Hands Action +The swap-hands action allows support for one-handed keyboards without requiring a separate layer. Set `ONEHAND_ENABLE` in the Makefile and define a `hand_swap_config` entry in your keymap. Now whenever the `ACTION_SWAP_HANDS` command is executed the keyboard is mirrored. For instance, to type "Hello, World" on QWERTY you would type `^Ge^s^s^w^c W^wr^sd` + +The configuration table is a simple 2-dimensional array to map from column/row to new column/row.
