blogposts VS miryoku_zmk

42 is the perfect number of keys. I wrote a short blogpost about my layout https://github.com/ghostbuster91/blogposts/blob/main/42-keys/main.md Hopefully you will find there something useful:)

I wrote this blogpost https://github.com/ghostbuster91/blogposts/blob/main/42-keys/main.md describing my layout. Hopefully you will find some inspiration there.

Any board referenced in the zmk miryoku repo is well supported and u/manna-harbour or I can help get just about any zmk supported board into the miryoku zmk config repo if it isn’t already

I don't see the problem here. https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_zmk

Here's a sample build run: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_zmk/actions/runs/4763442339

I'm using the Miryoku layout, so it's hidden on a layer.

I have access to all the modifier keys (ctrl, shift, alt, windows/gui) on every layer using miryoku. I don't have any shortcuts that include more than one non-modifier key, do you have any examples? All the shortcuts I've ever used in windows or linux are modifier + other key or modifier + modifier + other key, so having the modifiers on every layer (and also being able to press any combination of modifier keys) is enough to type any shortcut.

See https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_zmk#supported-keyboards, and in particular see https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku/discussions/81 and search for skeletyl. tbkmini_adapterv2 is included and should work for skeletyl. Here's a sample build run: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_zmk/actions/runs/4410421001.

I’m not sure about kmk, I’ve never built a firmware with that project. The Miryoku zmk repo has this layout as default for 2 thumb key boards. I’ve only changed the tap timing and added mouse keys from stock

I know you're asking about switches, but I switched to a 36-key keyboard using the miryoku layout in large part because it removes most of the job of my pinkies which I feel were being abused by normal keyboards... pinkies just shouldn't have that much responsibility. The other main reason is I love numpad typing and the idea of having access to a numpad through a layer button without moving my hand out of the home position was appealing. I only sorta touch typed numbers prior to this switch and now I am very much touch typing numbers since I could always touch type on the numpad, but didn't like moving my hand over there.

The Advantage360 Professional in Miryoku ZMK is the one from the PR you linked. You can build that using `adv360_left` and `adv360_right` for the board, according to the Miryoku ZMK docs, either locally or via GitHub actions. If you're new to ZMK, see the Miryoku ZMK Quickstart Guide. Here's a sample build run. I can also add the one from the Kinesis ZMK fork if you want to use that instead.

See the quickstart guide to get started with workflow builds, then the options you need for the mouse keys PR are described above. Here's a sample build run for corne with mouse keys PR and you can see the build options used from here.
