ergodox: Update algernon's keymap to v1.6
Major changes include:
Base layer changes
------------------
* The parentheses & bracket keys have been merged: tapping them results
in `[` or `{` (if it was shifted), double tapping leads to `(`.
* The `:;` and `-_` keys are now available on the base layer, on
their **ADORE** location, too, just below `[{(`/`]})`.
* The `Apps` key has been replaced by `F12`.
* The `-`/`_` is no longer a tap-dance key.
ADORE layer changes
-------------------
* Adjustments were made to the **ADORE** layer, to separate some
inconvenient combinations.
Miscellaneous changes
---------------------
* `LEAD u` now starts the symbolic unicode input system, instead of the
OS-one.
* The mouse acceleration keys on the **Navigation and Media* layer have
been turned into toggles: tap them once to turn them on, until tapped
again. Tapping an accelerator button will turn all the others off.
* When the **ARROW** layer is on, the *red* and *blue* LEDs light up
now.
Heatmap
-------
* The built-in keylogger has been greatly enhanced, it now outputs the
pressed state, and the layer (Dvorak or ADORE). As such, the
`ADORE_AUTOLOG` option has been removed, instead there is
`AUTOLOG_ENABLE` now, which when enabled, makes the keylogger start
when the keyboard boots. It defaults to off.
* The heatmap generator received a lot of updates.

Some of the things in the layout only work when one uses [Spacemacs][spacemacs] and [GNOME][gnome] under Linux. Your mileage may vary.

ergodox_ez: Update the algernon keymap to v1.2
Noticeable changes since the last pull request:
* The forced NKRO mode can be easily toggled off at compile-time, to
make the firmware compatible with certain operating systems.
* The `:;` key has changed behaviour: to access the `;` symbol, the key
needs to be double-tapped, instead of shifted.
* The `=` and `\` keys were swapped, `=` moved to the home row, on both
the **base** and the **experimental** layers.
* The arrow and navigation keys were redone, they are now more
accessible, but the navigation keys require an extra tap to access.
* The **Emacs** layer is gone, replaced by a simplified
**navigation and media** layer.
* `LEAD v` types the firmware version, and the keymap version.
* On the **experimental** layer, the `L` and `Q`, and the `K` and `G`
keys were swapped.
* The **Steno** layer gained a few more `#` and `*` keys, to make it
easier on my fingers.

Update the ergodox/algernon keymap to v1.7
Overall changes
===============
* The number row has been completely rearranged on both the **Base** and
the **ADORE** layers.
* The number/function key behavior was changed: function keys are now on
the **Media**.
* The `:`/`;` and `-`/`_` keys were put back to their thumb position on
the bottom row, on both the **Base** and **ADORE** layers.
* The bottom large keys on the inner side of each half now function as
[tmux](http://tmux.github.io/) keys: the left to send the prefix, the
right to send the `display-panes` key. The left also doubles as a GNU
screen prefix key, and sends `C-a` when double tapped.
* A number of functions, such as the **AppSel** layer, now require the
`hid-commands` tool to be running, with the output of `hid_listen`
being piped to it.
ADORE
=====
* `Y` and `X` have been swapped again.
Media/Navigation layer
======================
* The function keys are now on this layer.
* Mouse keys have been removed.
* Media start/stop/prev/next have been removed.
* `Print screen` has been removed.
* There is only one screen lock key now.
Heatmap
=======
* Fixed a few issues in the finger-stats calculation.
* The tool now also timestamps and saves all input lines to a logfile,
which it loads on start, allowing one to continue the collection after
upgrading the tool.
* The heatmap tool will now colorize the stats by default.
* The periodic stats are now printed in a more compact format.
Tools
=====
* Added a new tool, `tools/layer-notify` that listens to layer change
events on the HID console, and pops up a notification on layer
changes.
* Another new tool, `tools/text-to-log.py` has been added that converts
arbitrary text to a keylogger output, which can be fed to the heatmap
generator.
* A number of features have been moved to the `tools/hid-commands`
utility. These generally are OS dependent, and are easier to implement
on the software side.

|
* The number row is the same as in the [ADORE](#adore-layer) layer. The function keys are on the **Media** layer.
|
|
|
|
|
* The `Shift`, `Alt`, and `Control` modifiers are one-shot. When tapped, they are considered active for the next key press only. When double tapped, they toggle on, until a third, single tap sometime later. When held, they act as expected. My usual pattern is that I use these for the next keypress only, so this behaviour is perfect. If I need them held, I'll just double-tap.
|
|
|
|
|
* The `GUI` key is special, because when I double-tap it, it sends `GUI + w`, which pops up an application selector. It also switches to a one-shot layer, where the number row on the left half turns into app selector macros, for the most common things I usually want to switch to. Otherwise it behaves as on a normal layout.
|
|
|
|
|
* The `ESC` key also doubles as a one-shot cancel key: if tapped while any of the one-shot modifiers are in-flight (as in, single-tapped, and not expired yet), it cancels all one-shot modifiers. It also cancels the **Hun** layer, if active. Otherwise it sends the usual keycode.
|
|
|
|
|
* The **Media** and **Hun** layer keys are one-shot, the **STENO** key is a toggle.
|
|
|
|
|
* The **Fx** key is one-shot, and activates the **Media** layer, along with a one-shot `Alt`.

ergodox: Update algernon's keymap to v1.6
Major changes include:
Base layer changes
------------------
* The parentheses & bracket keys have been merged: tapping them results
in `[` or `{` (if it was shifted), double tapping leads to `(`.
* The `:;` and `-_` keys are now available on the base layer, on
their **ADORE** location, too, just below `[{(`/`]})`.
* The `Apps` key has been replaced by `F12`.
* The `-`/`_` is no longer a tap-dance key.

* Adjustments were made to the **ADORE** layer, to separate some
inconvenient combinations.

* `LEAD u` now starts the symbolic unicode input system, instead of the
OS-one.
* The mouse acceleration keys on the **Navigation and Media* layer have
been turned into toggles: tap them once to turn them on, until tapped
again. Tapping an accelerator button will turn all the others off.
* When the **ARROW** layer is on, the *red* and *blue* LEDs light up
now.
Heatmap
-------
* The built-in keylogger has been greatly enhanced, it now outputs the
pressed state, and the layer (Dvorak or ADORE). As such, the
`ADORE_AUTOLOG` option has been removed, instead there is
`AUTOLOG_ENABLE` now, which when enabled, makes the keylogger start
when the keyboard boots. It defaults to off.
* The heatmap generator received a lot of updates.

* When holding the `Tab`/**Arrow** key, the arrow layer activates while the key is held. Tapping the key produces the normal, `Tab` key. Double-tapping it toggles the **Arrow** layer on until a third tap.

Noticeable changes since the last pull request:
* The forced NKRO mode can be easily toggled off at compile-time, to
make the firmware compatible with certain operating systems.
* The `:;` key has changed behaviour: to access the `;` symbol, the key
needs to be double-tapped, instead of shifted.
* The `=` and `\` keys were swapped, `=` moved to the home row, on both
the **base** and the **experimental** layers.
* The arrow and navigation keys were redone, they are now more
accessible, but the navigation keys require an extra tap to access.
* The **Emacs** layer is gone, replaced by a simplified
**navigation and media** layer.
* `LEAD v` types the firmware version, and the keymap version.
* On the **experimental** layer, the `L` and `Q`, and the `K` and `G`
keys were swapped.
* The **Steno** layer gained a few more `#` and `*` keys, to make it
easier on my fingers.

Update the ergodox/algernon keymap to v1.7
Overall changes
===============
* The number row has been completely rearranged on both the **Base** and
the **ADORE** layers.
* The number/function key behavior was changed: function keys are now on
the **Media**.
* The `:`/`;` and `-`/`_` keys were put back to their thumb position on
the bottom row, on both the **Base** and **ADORE** layers.
* The bottom large keys on the inner side of each half now function as
[tmux](http://tmux.github.io/) keys: the left to send the prefix, the
right to send the `display-panes` key. The left also doubles as a GNU
screen prefix key, and sends `C-a` when double tapped.
* A number of functions, such as the **AppSel** layer, now require the
`hid-commands` tool to be running, with the output of `hid_listen`
being piped to it.
ADORE
=====
* `Y` and `X` have been swapped again.
Media/Navigation layer
======================
* The function keys are now on this layer.
* Mouse keys have been removed.
* Media start/stop/prev/next have been removed.
* `Print screen` has been removed.
* There is only one screen lock key now.
Heatmap
=======
* Fixed a few issues in the finger-stats calculation.
* The tool now also timestamps and saves all input lines to a logfile,
which it loads on start, allowing one to continue the collection after
upgrading the tool.
* The heatmap tool will now colorize the stats by default.
* The periodic stats are now printed in a more compact format.
Tools
=====
* Added a new tool, `tools/layer-notify` that listens to layer change
events on the HID console, and pops up a notification on layer
changes.
* Another new tool, `tools/text-to-log.py` has been added that converts
arbitrary text to a keylogger output, which can be fed to the heatmap
generator.
* A number of features have been moved to the `tools/hid-commands`
utility. These generally are OS dependent, and are easier to implement
on the software side.

This is to be used with [Plover](http://www.openstenoproject.org/plover/), nothing really fancy here. The **STENO** key toggles the layer on and off, and sends the toggle command to Plover too.

## LED states
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The primary purpose of the LEDs is to show the modifier status, a secondary, to show which layer is active. Each modifier, `Shift`, `Alt` and `Control` each have their designated LEDs: the *red*, *green* and *blue*, respectively. When a modifier is in a one-shot state, the respective LED will turn on with a dimmer light. If the modifier is toggled on, the brightness of the LED turns full.

For the layers, the following rules apply:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When the [ADORE layer](#adore-layer) is toggled on, LEDs will light up from left to right in a sequence, then turn off. When the layer is toggled off, the LEDs light up and turn off in the other direction. No LEDs are on while the layer is active.

ergodox: Update algernon's keymap to v1.6
Major changes include:
Base layer changes
------------------
* The parentheses & bracket keys have been merged: tapping them results
in `[` or `{` (if it was shifted), double tapping leads to `(`.
* The `:;` and `-_` keys are now available on the base layer, on
their **ADORE** location, too, just below `[{(`/`]})`.
* The `Apps` key has been replaced by `F12`.
* The `-`/`_` is no longer a tap-dance key.
ADORE layer changes
-------------------
* Adjustments were made to the **ADORE** layer, to separate some
inconvenient combinations.
Miscellaneous changes
---------------------
* `LEAD u` now starts the symbolic unicode input system, instead of the
OS-one.
* The mouse acceleration keys on the **Navigation and Media* layer have
been turned into toggles: tap them once to turn them on, until tapped
again. Tapping an accelerator button will turn all the others off.
* When the **ARROW** layer is on, the *red* and *blue* LEDs light up
now.
Heatmap
-------
* The built-in keylogger has been greatly enhanced, it now outputs the
pressed state, and the layer (Dvorak or ADORE). As such, the
`ADORE_AUTOLOG` option has been removed, instead there is
`AUTOLOG_ENABLE` now, which when enabled, makes the keylogger start
when the keyboard boots. It defaults to off.
* The heatmap generator received a lot of updates.

Unless noted otherwise, the layers use a dim light for the LEDs, while modifiers use a stronger one, and modifiers override any layer preferences. For example, when on the one-handed layer, with the left side active (*red* light blinking), if `Shift` is on, the *red* light will be constantly on.

# Special features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Unicode Symbol Input
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once in the Unicode Symbol Input mode, one is able to type in symbol names, press `Enter` or `Space`, and get the Unicode symbol itself back. When in the mode, a capital `U` is printed first. Once the sequence is finished, all of it is erased by sending enough `Backspace` taps, and the firmware starts the OS-specific unicode input sequence. Then, it looks up the symbol name, and enters the associated code. If it is not found, it will just replay the pressed keycodes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the list of supported symbols, please see the source.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

This is an experimental feature, and may or may not work reliably.

## Heatmap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the keypress logging functionality is enabled (by `LEAD d`), the keyboard will output a line every time a key is pressed, containing the position of the key in the matrix. This allows one to collect this information, and build analytics over it, such as a heat map, including dead keys too.

Included with the firmware is a small tool that can parse these logs, and create a heatmap that one can import into [KLE][kle]. To use it, either pipe the output of `hid_listen` into it, or pipe it an already saved log, and it will save the results into files in an output directory (given on the command-line). See the output of `tools/log-to-heatmap.py --help` for more information.

## Layer notification

There is a very small tool in `tools/layer-notify`, that listens to the HID console, looking for layer change events, and pops up a notification for every detected change. It is a very simple tool, mainly serving as an example.

## Using on Windows

|
|
|
|

The keymap default to forcing NKRO, which seems to upset Windows, and except the modifiers, none of them work. If you experience this problem, recompile the firmware with `FORCE_NKRO=no` added to the `make` command line.

* The `=` and `\` keys were swapped, `=` moved to the home row, on both
the **base** and the **experimental** layers.
* The arrow and navigation keys were redone, they are now more
accessible, but the navigation keys require an extra tap to access.
* The **Emacs** layer is gone, replaced by a simplified
**navigation and media** layer.
* `LEAD v` types the firmware version, and the keymap version.
* On the **experimental** layer, the `L` and `Q`, and the `K` and `G`
keys were swapped.
* The **Steno** layer gained a few more `#` and `*` keys, to make it
easier on my fingers.
