keymap-editor VS kanata

The difference is: https://nickcoutsos.github.io/keymap-editor/ Click the firmware generated button which takes you directly to the action tab for the latest build. Then clicking to download firmware.

Looks nice. I can recommend the following graphical configurator: https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor

I haven't looked into QMK configurators because if I go to the trouble of building a keeb I'd go all out and make it wireless. I did look at [keymap editor](https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor) for ZMK, which could be close enough to Oryx for me to try sometime.

The only other thing I could recommend in that case is custom built; it's easier than you'd think, and some people have made GUI interfaces for ZMK like this: https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor

I know ZMK does not have an official one, but there's one that uses github actions in order to build a firmware for you after you commit your keymap. That's probably the closest we'll have to zmk configurator for a while https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor

I think the closest thing at the moment is https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor.

Looking forwards: the chosen bootloader should support over-the-air updates, and GUI front-ends for ZMK do exist, albeit with varying maturity. 1 2

Gotta give a shoutout to kanata[1] which I have used daily for years at this point after giving up on QMK-powered keyboards.

QMK itself is great, but I was never able to find a non-columnar split ISO keyboard to use it with. Eventually I reluctantly settled on the Logitech K860[2] and I'm now happily using my favourite features from QMK with kanata at the software level.

[2]: If I'm behind the times and there is now a QMK-compatible keyboard that looks like this, please let me know!

This is not in Emacs, but if I can't modify my keyboard's firmware (e.g on a laptop), I use Kanata https://github.com/jtroo/kanata. It works by creating a virtual keyboard in Linux (and uses a filter driver or process hooks in Windows), so it can work in any program as they just see a normal keyboard.

Besides the better caps word (by the way, you can have it in software in Win/Linux apps like https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/blob/main/docs/config.adoc#c...) you can also toggle capslock with e.g. a double tap while having on-hold functionality to the more useful Control, so you still wouldn't need to hold any modifier key

One particular approach that one might find it interesting is how the configuration is laid out (using S-expression from Lisps).

Kanata[0] is amazing. It support both Linux and Windows. But I'm yet to try it on windows because my majority work is on linux.
