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 - - Trying out sgoodwin's "hold Enter down to get Shift" - - Liking this Quite Well Enough... - - Applied this to both Shift and Quote - - It seems likely that Alt should get a right-hand-side, akin to this... - - Alt needs to move, and get a RHS - - Hence ALTRIGHT, and shifted ROT_LED over - - Emacs likes this!!! :-) - - I'm suspicious that I'll want to shift ROT_LED another location over, - so some modifier can replace the OS/KC_LGUI key - - I have added an alternate ADJUST layer that is activated via update_tri_layer() - - e.g. - LOWER+RAISE simultaneously - - This seems entirely more useful for handling my "special keys" - like the random numbers, user name, and such, than the keypad layer - - The _ADJUST layer provides a good place to have RESET - - But this isn't strictly enough; I want RESET somewhat accessible from - main layer lest an error hide that layer - - I never use the OS/KC_LGUI key (that's Command on MacOS, Windows - Key on Windows), so that's a good place to have it as a chord of - some sort - - -** 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 use enums to manage layer IDs and macro IDs so that I don't need - to care (beyond "start at 0", and arguably even that's not needed) - about their values. - -** 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 - -** Unuseful experiments - -I have tried some things out that didn't turn out particularly well. -I'll note some of these for posterity, hopefully helpful in not doing -unwise things again... - - - 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 - - - Space Cadet Shift; switching L_SHIFT to KC_LSP0, so that when I - just hit SHIFT, I get a left parens. In principle, this is great - for Lisping. - - Unfortunately, there are times when mouse interfaces use SHIFT - to allow selecting multiple items, and this really interferes - with that - -** 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," or to have a few keys in a layer oriented towards that - - Keys for... - - Picking windows 0 thru 8 - - next/prev/new window - - 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 - - I ought to probably look into KC_LEAD, to have some key combos - that do not need to be concurrent - - The jeebak keymap seems to have some neat ideas: - - Number layer which is aggressive about having numbers in several places - - TouchCursor layer seems interesting - - It sets up a layer with cursor keys on the home keys - - The jeremy-dev keymap has some very interesting concepts - - Shift hands outwards; the special keys go in the center - - Symbol layer has some compound keys for C operators like /=, *=, -=, +=, ... - - This is likely what I'll use for my XD75re, and maybe I'll fork a - planck keymap for similar |
