Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Miryoku for Cheapino (self.ergomechkeyboards)

submitted 1 year ago by hansamann to c/ergomechkeyboards

I just built cheapino 3x5_3 split and of course need to get miryoku on it - there's a qmk branch here https://github.com/tompi/qmk_firmware/tree/cheapino but could not find the board over at miryoku.

It also has a special encoder, wondering how one could use it in the most meaningful way with miryoku....

Could someone describe the steps or create a miryoku config?

cheapino is using the split_3x5_3 layout that Miryoku QMK already supports, but cheapino doesn't have community layout support enabled, so it won't be used. If /u/[email protected] fixes that you'll be able to build by merging branches and building for cheepino. You can merge the cheepino branch automatically at build time by using tompi/qmk_firmware/cheapino with the Miryoku QMK build workflow branches option.

@tompi@[email protected] any chance community layout support can be enabled?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (12 children)

Hey, sure. I added it now.

Ill try merging miryoku and building tomorrow.

Great!

Here's a sample workflow build run: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_qmk/actions/runs/5650295293.

I also ran a workflow (https://github.com/hansamann/miryoku_qmk/actions/runs/5660097404) now and did set the ColemakDHK specifically but it still does not quite give me the desired outcome.

q w t ; z
a p r b g
x c d s v

is the left side, which is not really colemak mod dhk... am I doing things dramatically wrong? or is something wrong with my build @[email protected] - I can hardly imagine, what could it be? also I think the default qmk built worked from a main colemak layout perspective, so the keymap was correkt with the default...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure what went wrong, but did you try the same uf2 file i did? Seems like official miryoku to me…

[–] hansamann 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah the same and default alphas means Colemak Mod dh normally - I assume it's my fault and the key mapper... Checking in a few hours and will report.

[–] hansamann 3 points 1 year ago

let me confirm it was an issue with karabiner-elements... I totally forget, thx for the great comments @[email protected] and @[email protected] I now just realize that the Miryoku Colemak DHK is also not the default, but I'll just swithc that back to default and it will most likely work!

thx all!

[–] manna_harbour 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That looks like you have Colemak set on the host.

[–] hansamann 2 points 1 year ago

Omg I am using a keyboard mapper on my Mac, so far keyboards connected were not mapped again... Will check.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just thought of one thing. Are you sure your network cable is not crossed? Could you test another just to be sure

[–] hansamann 2 points 1 year ago

Also excellent idea - will test Ina few hours. Although I think manna's comment will be the reason - using a key mapper on mac which turns my us international into Colemak Mod dh. Somehow my other keyboards are not affected, but it's my first qmk build... Maybe I need to exclude it specifically...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is awesome! Can confirm that putting rp2040-zero in dfu mode and just copying the uf2 file from your workflow flashes miryoku in the cheapino.

[–] hansamann 2 points 1 year ago

I can confirm the uf2 flashing works - but with the uf2 flashed it seems to be using a weird keymap... top row starts with q - w - t - ; z for me... I am confused.. the thumb keys seem to work as expected .will try a workflow build with my settings.
