When Quake 2 came out, alternate keyboard layouts weren't really a thing. As a result, all in-game text input is hard-locked to US QWERTY, regardless of what the operating system is using for its input method. - -I'm attempting to solve this by some creative use of QMK's macro feature. The keycode in the System layer that enables these layers, [`GO_Q2`](./keymap.c#L387), is a [macro](./keymap.c#L101-L108) that sets the default layer to the QWERTY layer, then turns the Quake 2 layer `_Q2` on. The result is a partially-overwritten QWERTY layer, that has some keycodes with some creative layer switching. - -When I hit the `Enter` key (bound in-game to text chat), the [macro keycode](./keymap.c#L109-L115) I've created sends the keycode for `Enter`, then follows with enabling the Hardware Dvorak layer and its corresponding overlay. Now the game is in text chat mode, and my keyboard is in Dvorak. When I hit `Enter` again, another `Enter` [keycode macro](./keymap.c#L116-L122) is sent, which sends the message, then the macro brings me back to the standard QWERTY+Quake 2 setup. Hitting `Escape` instead runs a [macro](./keymap.c#L123-L129) that cancels the sending of the message, and undoes the layers. - -I have been testing this configuration for a few months. Sometimes I end up still in Dvorak mode without any text input systems (in-game chat or the console) running, but it pretty much always happens when I'm focused on the game, so I don't know the cause yet. - -### Layer 3: Quake 2 - - -### Layer 4: Quake 2 Dvorak - - -### Layer 5: Quake 2 Console - - - ----- - -Next Chapter: [Function Layers](./readme_ch3.md) |
