h3 VS qmk_firmware

It looks like the base Kontur dataset uses H3 resolution 8, and there’s a lookup table here. “400m” seems to refer to the edge length (which averages to 461m).

I can speak to quadtrees, but the primary reason for using this is that you need a geographic "dictionary" (not using the word map to avoid confusion with charts), and you're perhaps already using the H3 hexagonal grid system.

HexSet: is a way of storing a set of H3 cells in a tree, and doing fast (2-20 ns on my 2013 trashcan Mac Pro) membership tests. You must first convert the input data (e.g. GeoJSoN polygon) into H3 cells.

How can one read the code of the benchmark, then switch into virulent sarcasm mode without trying to understand the code? And seeing "+1" comments without any effort to understand is also disheartening.

The blog post had a link about the Go helper functions the author used. It lands on https://github.com/akhenakh/goh3/blob/main/h3.go This shows that the `FromGeo()` function used by the Go benchmark is a helper that calls transpiled functions. The benchmark code itself was of course not transpiled, so the sarcasm was unneeded and wrong.

If anyone wants to dig in deeper, the C function `latLngToCell()` calls 2 functions, see https://github.com/uber/h3/blob/master/src/h3lib/lib/h3Index...

Uber just released their library to perform geospatial indexing - https://h3geo.org/. This might be an useful building block for you.

I only use keyboards running QMK or ZMK, so:

My Caps Lock key is a Control/Escape key (when tapped it behave like a Escape, when hold it's Control), and my left Control is a one shot layer switch key [1], which means I tap LCtrl once, and then press Caps Lock + 5 to get Ctrl+F5. Doable with single hand and more ergonomic as I have an unusually small hand.

I agree that reduced finger movement is a crucial step in achieving typing efficiency. This is nicely solved by mod tap modifiers in QMK/ZMK[1] where key acts as a char when tapped and as a layer while pressed.

If you have a keyboard that runs QMK firmware[0] with the VIA[1] feature enabled[2], then there is a convenient testing app available from the same place you customize your keys [3].

I made a layout that I'm happy with. Spanish is my native language, so it has characters like the accents and 'ñ', but it's meant to be used for programming as well. Visual Studio uses a lot of Ctrl and Ctrl + Shift shortcuts, so I left them in the same place as the default Corne layout so I can press them both with my pinkie finger. Perhaps some of the ideas are useful to you.

Also, it would be possible to do this for the RP2040. However, it needs some work to get working. but for example: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/20999

Ok, it's an ST7735, not too different from the ST7789. You should be able to get running by looking at their files in the QMK repo and going from there. You should also check their resources page.
