what do I want my keyboard to do?

- type, well

- preserve some similarity to my laptop keyboard

- make it easy to do the things i can do in i3 on laptop already

- midi layer to play notes and make music !!

qmk configuration tips and links

[https://thomasbaart.nl/2018/12/20/qmk-basics-leader-key/]

-- defining sequences with which you can trigger keypresses and functions!

this uses lead -> cut instead of having to hold the whole sequence all at once

rough ideas

greek letters behind a hidden layer for fast math typing

• on this layer remap shift so that it opens capital greek letter

reevaluate how i use modifier keys and where i put my thumbs for ease of access

what else do i type frequently?

what is the fastest way to lay out the numpad to enable quick access?

what function keys or macros would be useful to me?

emojis?? on my keyboard??

introduce leader keys and macros to spit out some keyboard shortcuts,

music, or important information

explicitly document this somewhere

dont be afraid to draw out specific layout!!

obviously best action to take is planck or split keyboard, but the next action

to take is changing the keyboard layout to radically change the way the

fingers move as we type!

do not place constraint on how many keys are relocated

places on this site layout the q**lw* layouts for optimizing for various things,

one keeps zxcv in place for greater effeffectiveness. consider using one of

these as opposed to colemak or somethign for better effectivenes

in geneeral: find what isnt working and optimiz

potential ideas- macros for different latex expressions(it is possible that org

mode already offers this)it may be better to just use org mode for latex and

shortcut the org mode expressionsthis should be some 'math mode' laye- midi

control layer- offers potential for drum kit as well as for a piano roll of some

sort- perhaps dual buttons for tweaking knobs up and down- mappings similar to

launchpad to programs such as ableton[https://github.com/theniceboy/nviif] i use

colemak i will probably have to make some changes to other keybindings to

reflect thicurrent are proper for qwerty but these ssame binds will not make

sense in other placesfrom planck repos- ajp10304hold tab for shifthold enter for

shifthold space for some function laye

macros:

• backspace + control
• delete with control
• layer specifically for navigation and typing brackets
• layer with copy, paste, duplicate, other things functionality

navigation and number blocks in convenient and intuitive place

function and media keys on separate layer from navigation keys 2 layers that swap funvtion and media ke ys as well as switched navigation and number blocks

4 mod keys, 2 on either side of the spacebar

keypad layer has cool macros:

• automatic type out of name with leaders
• random number generator spits out number

hold enter for shift

helping with tmux:

• may be helpful to add tmux layer
• this would have macros specific to the navigation of tmux
• kc lead to find key combos not concurrent

jeebak keymap with good ideasL:

• number layer has numbers in several places
• touchcursor allows for cursor layer on home keys

jeremy-dev keymap also cool

• shift hands outwards, special keys in center
• symbol layer has compound keys for c operators
• this would have macros specific to the navigation of tmux
• kc lead to find key combos not concurrent

redundancy for common keys so that they are easily accessible

this is especially true for keys that can be out of the way

autoshift but also defined shift keys as autoshift is slow

movement is hjkl or hnei depending on the keymap

arrows mimicked by home, pgdown, pgup, and end on the lower row

media keys same location as Arrow keys

toggle layers minimized so that keyboard state is predictable

macros to help with progrma typi- typing greek lette- latex symbols ( could be

combined with the greek letter thing) this is largely an alternative note taki

ng mode to be used in math courses or something, possibly in conjunction with

org mode. do soem research on taking literate notes with latex and get

back to this. for now just do the greek letters?? lots of coo l programming

can be done here to enter and exit contextual programming modes inside

different scopes for entering and exiting them by remembering scopes as

well as previous keys, or typing out entire commonly used latex symbols

concretely through the keyboa- commonly used phrases - this shouldn't be a

layer so much as a series of macros defined by leader keys that can be

accessed via normal tyoping layer, and should include email, name etc. could

also create pass word buffer in the firmware to write, read copy and paste

to but ideally some external program should han dle th- some toggle layer
