# Full-featured Corne layout for Linux and MacOS
|
|
|
|
This is a generic layout for Corne, especially for someone who:
|
|
|
|
* has to type in English
|
|
* occasionally has to type in Swedish
|
|
* Switches regularly between Linux and MacOS
|
|
* Prioritizes text navigation
|
|
* This includes selecting whole lines and deleting words
|
|
* uses VIM or VIM bindings for text navigation
|
|
* uses the 'compose' feature in Linux and uses the 'mac user dictionary' trick for getting compose features
|
|
* Home row modifiers for optimal ergo (hopefully optimal)
|
|
|
|
This also features:
|
|
* OLED displays:
|
|
* indicating OS and LED status (scroll lock, numlock, caps, compose) on the master side
|
|
* layer and modifiers on the slave side
|
|
* LED lights:
|
|
* color changes to indicate layer and modifier status
|
|
* LED matrix effects around keypresses
|
|
|
|
## Major notes
|
|
|
|
### OS 'detection'
|
|
* I assume MacOS as the default. Using the ctrl/gui swap magic keycode switches everything to Linux
|
|
* Most of the Linux codes should work in Windows
|
|
* Yes, there are lots of if-statements around which key code to send here... this isn't the most sustainable way to do it, but is the most memory-efficient way I could come up with
|
|
|
|
### RGB matrix effects
|
|
* Not all RGB matrix effects are compatible with changing the color on layer/mod change. Some of them get caught in a loop and freeze half of the keyboard, so beware of which ones you activate
|
|
* Some RGB settings are stored in eeprom (despite me using the `noeeprom()` version of functions) If something is weird, try clearing eeprom
|
|
* The color-changing function probably _should_ be in the `layer_state_set_user` function, except that function doesn't give the state of the modifiers. So instead I have it done in a call that updates the OLEDs
|
|
|
|
### LED state explicitly not shared
|
|
* For some reason, sharing the LED state (as a split keyboard function) will cause the slave side of the keyboard to freeze up if you type too fast. Don't do it!
|
|
|
|
### Windowing shortcuts
|
|
* Again, MacOS is assumed to be the default so I changed as many Linux shortcuts as I could to make them compatible with MacOS. Some of them don't have default shortcuts defined (such as 'move window left' or 'launch calculator') so I just made those as needed
|
|
|
|
### Right-shift preferred
|
|
* At the time of this writing, left-shift wasn't always being registered as a modifier key when checking modmasks, so I stuck with everything using right-shift as it had the expected effects
|
|
|
|
### Compose key
|
|
* I used [macos compose](https://github.com/Granitosaurus/macos-compose)
