Full-featured Corne layout for Linux and MacOS
This is a generic layout for Corne, especially for someone who:
- has to type in English
- occasionally has to type in Swedish
- Switches regularly between Linux and MacOS
- Prioritizes text navigation
- This includes selecting whole lines and deleting words
- uses VIM or VIM bindings for text navigation
- uses the 'compose' feature in Linux and uses the 'mac user dictionary' trick for getting compose features
- Home row modifiers for optimal ergo (hopefully optimal)
This also features:
- OLED displays:
- indicating OS and LED status (scroll lock, numlock, caps, compose) on the master side
- layer and modifiers on the slave side
- LED lights:
- color changes to indicate layer and modifier status
- LED matrix effects around keypresses
Major notes
OS 'detection'
- I assume MacOS as the default. Using the ctrl/gui swap magic keycode switches everything to Linux
- Most of the Linux codes should work in Windows
- Yes, there are lots of if-statements around which key code to send here... this isn't the most sustainable way to do it, but is the most memory-efficient way I could come up with
RGB matrix effects
- Not all RGB matrix effects are compatible with changing the color on layer/mod change. Some of them get caught in a loop and freeze half of the keyboard, so beware of which ones you activate
- Some RGB settings are stored in eeprom (despite me using the
noeeprom()version of functions) If something is weird, try clearing eeprom - The color-changing function probably should be in the
layer_state_set_userfunction, except that function doesn't give the state of the modifiers. So instead I have it done in a call that updates the OLEDs
LED state explicitly not shared
- For some reason, sharing the LED state (as a split keyboard function) will cause the slave side of the keyboard to freeze up if you type too fast. Don't do it!
Windowing shortcuts
- Again, MacOS is assumed to be the default so I changed as many Linux shortcuts as I could to make them compatible with MacOS. Some of them don't have default shortcuts defined (such as 'move window left' or 'launch calculator') so I just made those as needed
Right-shift preferred
- At the time of this writing, left-shift wasn't always being registered as a modifier key when checking modmasks, so I stuck with everything using right-shift as it had the expected effects
Compose key
- I used macos compose
