kmonad VS xmk

have you actually tried that? afaik they don't get you the perfect home row mods due to some limitations re. how they implement the tap vs hold logic

I use kmonad[1] to have QMK-like functionality on any keyboard.

There you have the software link : https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad

You could install kmonad (https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad) with a Miryoku layout (https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_kmonad) for instance.

I implemented it in kite, but one can use software only solutions like KMonad instread, to be able to handle it without dedicated hardware.

I guess it should be possible with just setxbkmap if others have done it but I use kmonad to do that and a lot more remapping on my laptop. Kanata is another one I have heard good things about

You could try to use https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk from the same developer in order to run Miryoku on every keyboard.

It’s Linux only but should be usable with Windows or macOS in a VM. See https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk/discussions/4.

It works in a VM on Windows, with usbip for communication. See https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk/discussions/4. That might also be possible on macOS, see this comment.

𝑥MK can remap non-programmable or incompatible keyboards using native QMK or ZMK keymaps. It can also record and play back timed keystrokes to test keymap changes or to compare behaviour between QMK and ZMK. For other things to try see https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk/discussions/2.

Yeah I'm not sure what it'll end up being useful for, if anything! Maybe something I haven't considered yet... You can use it like KMonad but with extra steps. You can also use it for testing timing issues. Soon I'll be adding an extra utility to combine multiple keyboards into a single device, so then you could e.g. use a pair of numpads or your laptop keyboard plus a regular keyboard as a split.

You could run the xmk python script in a Linux VM as with https://github.com/manna-harbour/xmk/discussions/4, but for that you'd also need usbip. https://www.virtualhere.com/ might work but hasn't been tested.
