@pierrec83's keymap for the gherkin
|
||
|
|
===
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A usable keymap for the gherkin's 30 keys layout, somewhat in sync with my Kyria keymap.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This keymap is more or less an adaptation of my Kyria keymap which sacrifices some convenience but retains most functionality.

Features
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
* Mouse keys with constants tuned so the keyboard usable for me as my sole pointing device
|
||
|
|
* Homerow layers activation
|
||
|
|
* 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.
|
||
|
|
* 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/40percentclub/gherkin/keymaps/pierrec83/keymap.json
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
* Flash the firmware (for instance, if left hand is plugged):
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
qmk flash -kb 40percentclub/gherkin -km pierrec83
|
||
|
|
```
