cbbrowne custom keyboard
Due to cbbrowne@acm.org Christopher Browne
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 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
- I tried added Workman alongside Dvorak and Colemak
- 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
