Renaming planck/cbbrowne in keeping with recent naming conventions (#405)
* More documentation * Saving crontab for user on host * Restructuring in keeping with recent changes to conventions * Simplify submitting my fave cbbrowne keystroke by using SEND_STRING() * Local change, not apropos to have in this repo * Simplify logic; no need to return so muchexample_keyboards

cbbrowne custom keyboard
|

==============================

This was originally based on the default keyboard map, but I have been
|
||||
doing sundry experimentation:
|
||||
|
||||
* To figure things out about the toolset
|
||||
* I'm an Emacs guy, so will be needing a fair bit of tuning
|
||||
* It made sense to mess around some with keyboard maps.
|
||||
- I 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
|
||||
- I added a keypad, originally based on keymaps/numpad.c, but mighty substantially revised, as that one seems to be rotated 90 degrees from usual conventions for number pads

This was originally based on the default keyboard map, but I have been

1. Experiments
|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* To figure things out about the toolset
|
||||
* I'm an Emacs guy, so will be needing a fair bit of tuning
|
||||
* It made sense to mess around some with keyboard maps.
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
- I added a keypad, originally based on keymaps/numpad.c, but
|
||||
mighty substantially revised, as that one seems to be rotated 90
|
||||
degrees from usual conventions for number pads
|
||||
* The keypad layer also includes some sample "hacks" of cool things,
|
||||
all using actions attached in using the function action_get_macro()
|
||||
- Key [1][2] aka "q" types out my name, cbbrowne, as a fun example
|
||||
of a key generating a bunch of keystrokes. 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
|
||||
|
||||
2. 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 used enums to manage layer IDs and macro IDs so that I don't need
|
||||
to care (beyond "start at 0", and arguably that's not needed) about
|
||||
their values.
|
||||
|
||||
3. 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
