A Colemak keymap for the Redox keyboard

This keymap is a work in progress, and is meant to be used on macOS, with the "Unicode Hex Input" keyboard input.

I may change a lot of the keys over the next few months, and will update this repo when I do so.

Layers

My keymap uses 5 layers:

The default base layer, using Colemak.
A Symbol layer, so all symbols can be accessed from the home row. (top right legends)
A Navigation / Media layer, with both sound control and arrows on the home row. (bottom right legends)
An international / Emoji layer so I can type accented characters commonly used in France and in Hungary, as well as a few Emoji I often use. (top center legends)
A keyboard control layer, not pictured above, allowing me to control the LED lighting as well as the keyboard debug functions.

- 2 new Macro keys, to invoke Alfred and 1Password.
- No more Right Command key or Expose key, I didn't use those much.
- Updates to use newer QMK function to call ¯_(ツ)_/¯
- Fix: you can now move back to the base layer when double tapping the thumb keys to switch to the Nav layer. 👍

Redox keyboard design by Mattia Dal Ben.
This keymap is based off the default keymap for the Redox keyboard, available here and also build by Mattia Dal Ben (thank you!).
This layout uses QMK keyboard controller firmware.

I've also read posts by Gergely Nagy, Rebecca Le, and Justin Rogers for inspiration.
