[Keymap] New kbd67/hotswap keymap for writing both code and math (#4933)
* Custom keymap.
* Fix magic layer, enable Unicode.
* Update README.
* Make Unicode config change keymap-local.
* Move magic to AltGr, simplifying layout.
* Changes per Drashna.
* Fix magic+esc = backtick!
* Change reset implementation per Drashna's suggestion.
* Add a few more symbols so long as the commit is open - √ℜℂℤ⊙ℚℕ and the like.
* Typo fix.
* Slight simplification, drop an extra variable.

(Using a heavier switch on the pause key greatly reduces the +risk of accidental triggering) In OS X style, alt and win are swapped on the left-hand side. + +The right-hand alt and gui keys take on a different meaning: right-alt lives up to its old name of +AltGr by invoking Greek (the "magic" layers, 2 and 3), and right-gui invokes the function layer. + +*Layer 1 (Functions):* This layer deliberately sets KC_NO for the keys it doesn't use. I realize +this isn't common, but I like to keep my functions quite distinct from all other layers. + +RESET can be accessed at Fn+Left Shift+Escape. + +*Layers 2 and 3*: These are invoked by the "magic" key (AltGr) and by magic+shift. The +letters mostly produce Greek; the numbers, superscripts (magic) and subscripts (magic+shift); and +the various other keys, mathematical symbols. There unfortunately aren't nearly enough keys for all +the symbols I'd like, so magic+alt and magic+alt+shift may end up existing as well, giving this a +proper Space Cadet effect; but that said, it's going to be hard to remember where all these symbols +are without some extremely custom keycaps. In the limit of arbitrarily complex layers, the keyboard +will probably start running LISP and turn into EMACS. |
