@pierrec83's keymap for the Kyria
===
A comfortable for me using 34 keys.
This keymap has evolved over a period of time from iterating as I observed pain points in my interacting with my home and work computers (MacOS and Linux. I edited many of the shortcuts in MacOS to match those in Linux for consistency).
Features
---
* Mouse keys with constants tuned so the keyboard usable for me as my sole pointing device
* Homerow layers activation
* Minimal unhoming of the thumbs (the one side thumb key I do use does not overlap with typing english or code)
* Minimal side-index motion thanks to workman base layer and similar principles in other layers
* Two symbol layers, both activated with one homerow key and either another key on the same hand's homerow or a key from the other hand
* Mousing around, including left and right clicking can be done either one-handed or fully on the homerow with both hands
* Easy chaining of common command line or vim patterns, such as `~/`, `()`, `ESC : w ENTER` etc.
* Outer pinky columns unused for ergonomic reasons
* Common OS shortcuts like switching workspaces on gnome or MacOS easily accessible (for the shortcuts I use. This may not apply to others)
Instructions to update the keymap
---
For now, I am still more comfortable updating the keymap through the qmk configurator as I don't trust myself to manually keep comments describing the keymap in sync with the code itself. This means that my keymap.c is generated and not really readable. For a readble view of my keymap, one must import keymap.json into [qmk configurator](https://config.qmk.fm) and use the web UI or print it.
To update the keymap,
* Load keymap.json into qmk configurator
* Perform any edits
* Export the keymap. This should save a json file in `~/Downloads/pierrec83.json` or equivalent for your OS
* From the root of qmk_firmware, move the keymap to its destination:
```
mv ~/Downloads/pierrec83.json keyboards/kyria/keymaps/pierrec83/keymap.json
```
* Regenerate the `keymap.c`:
```
qmk json2c keyboards/kyria/keymaps/pierrec83/keymap.json -o keyboards/kyria/keymaps/pierrec83/keymap.c
```
* Flash the firmware (for instance, if left hand is plugged):
```
qmk flash -kb kyria -km pierrec83 -bl dfu-split-left
```

I am @pierrec83 on Twitter, @pierrechevalier83 on github. I chose the shorter nickname for my keymap.
