Does qmk have any advantage over kmonad?

daphnis

This doesn't seem to contain all the layouts.

daphnis

For some reason,

Code: Select all

void matrix_init_user(void) {
	default_layer_set(pow(2, _QGMLWB));
}

doesn't work anymore (with pandrew's fork). layer_state_set works,
but I suppose that must differ from default_layer_set in some
significant way.

daphnis

I was trying to use an older version, but I think an updated dependency disagreed with it.

daphnis

And shouldn't the model-f stuff be in the qmk upstream?

daphnis

So it seems my old method of compiling a model-f layout with qmk is broken, and I have to go through the ordeal again of finding out how to go about it. Is there /one/ place with concise instructions for this that I just missed? I couldn't find the link on modelfkeyboards.com.

daphnis

Hm, after two years with no mechanical issues, my I key has problems. At first it wouldn't register until I released it and then not at all. Pulling it out and replacing it fixes it for a week or so until the same problem returns.

daphnis

How is the powder coating done?

daphnis

The solenoid thing has always struck me as the keyboard equivalent of an
electric car that generates fake gas engine noises.

I suspected this and agree with your dismissal. On the other hand, a sound
source could be useful as an output; say, if you have a layout toggle, it could
emit one beep ...

daphnis

I see a lot of mention here of a ``solenoid'', and it seems to be a contraption for producing sound. But I haven't been able to find its purpose? Doesn't the model F produce enough sound by itself?

I'm a little bit confused. If it's possible to use the upstream version, what is the reason for using pandrew's version (that hasn't been updated in a while)?

daphnis

I bricked my keyboard twice today (had to enter bootloader mode physically to
get a response), first trying to flash QMK with the ``terminal'' feature and then
when trying to enable ``dynamic macros''. Does anyone know what is happening
here?

Or it's really well hidden. There's a link to a post that has a link to a

that has

Thanks again, Nathan, this is really helpful.

Are you trying to build from source or something?

Well, I want to change the layout, and I would rather build from source than do
this through a web site. (I'd rather stick with xwhatsit than use a web site.)
If I understood you correctly, the only ...

daphnis

So, the relevant version of QMK is this?

https://github.com/purdeaandrei/qmk_firmware

(There's no mention of model F in the readme or in the list of supported
keyboards.) If I flash this and it turns out to be too complicated, can I just
use the xwhatsit gui to reflash the old firmware?

daphnis

Thank you, Nathan!

daphnis

There seems to be a new firmware, but, for some reason, I can't find a simple
link to the (source code of the) installer or instructions in plain text.
There is a video with text that I absolutely can't find the patience to watch.
Can anyone help please?

Also, what is the advantage of the new ...

I've never tried a beam spring, so I'm more curious than excited.

daphnis

Interesting! I would buy this if it came in a colour that wasn't black and the case was more classical and perhaps based on an original design. Blank key caps and happy-hacking layout would also be nice. Or even better: a beam-spring space cadet.

daphnis

Wish I had a wooden logoless palmrest for my F62.

I want to buy the ACC2330 foot switch (pedal) from Philips.

https://www.dictation.philips.com/products/transcription-accessories/foot-control-acc2300/

Does anyone know if this works just like a keyboard with four keys, so that, in Linux, using, say, xkb, I can remap those keys (to ctrl, meta, &c ...

Just to share a layout I've made with the QMK.
My current layout is with 2 extra keys coming from split space bar + split right shift

How does the small space bar and the extra modifier fit?
(Ellipse said there would be a tight fit.) You got them from
Unicomp, right?

Nevermind, I found ...

daphnis

As far as I know: no. They are not included in the USB keyboard standard. (Annoyingly, as volume up and down are!) On the Mac, I just map the two brightness functions to F1 and F2 in System Preferences and use those on my Kishsaver and other keyboards.

So the key menu, which I had assumed to be ...

I can't find any brightness-up or -down button in the layout utility. Is it possible to get these keys?

daphnis

Though I tend to use that area of the space bar. But I never use the area where the extra modifier on the right could be.

I actually removed the extra right side modifier and put in a regular spacebar again.
Could't figure out what would be important enough to use the extra key for, and it ...

Capital idea.

daphnis

Yes it is a tight fit but I do offer the smaller space bars. They will be in stock in a month or so. I do not offer factory default settings though for the smaller space bars - you'd have to do the installation.

You mean you will offer bars that are a perfect fit, in shape as well as in colour ...
