qmk_firmware VS Fulcrum

Oh, it was actually this guy https://github.com/treeman/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/ferris/keymaps/treeman/repeat.c . I wonder how your implementations differ.

I sure do.

I've made some blog posts about it: https://www.jonashietala.se/blog/tags/t-34/, although they're a bit outdated right now. The source code is more up to date: https://github.com/treeman/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/ferris/keymaps/treeman

I haven't made a write-up of what I'm currently running, but it's on Github.

I have my own implementation. See repeat.h and repeat.c and how it's used in keymap.c. You can ignore the "reverse repeat", making the implementation quite simple.

Here's a blog post of my layout and here's the current layout in code (which has some smaller changes to the base layer).

This is my current 34-key layout. Some notable features:

This is my qmk keymap and here's a blog post about the keymap (although I've made some changes since then).

I fear, if you want a highly customized layout on a highly customized board, you have to work a little for it ˄˄ But the author put his code on github, so you can start from there: https://github.com/treeman/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/kyria/keymaps/treeman My tip: use his Kyria version, and just consider which keys will be obsolete, and you can not use. Then try to flash on the Gergoplex.

I can't really call it "my" CAPSWORD, since I got the idea from /u/jonas_h and it looks like several others have contributed to it. That said, it looks pretty easy to extend to handle additional characters by adding extra cases to this switch statement. If you have a continuous range you want to add, you can use the KC_A ... KC_Z syntax. Otherwise, you'd have to add them one per line, but it's still pretty doable.

dude I really think you should consider a sideways-mounted 5-way switch for the thumbs like I did on the fulcrum. I think it would work really well on this form factor

You may be interested by the 40-key version of the Fulcrum

It's tough to use more than 2 or 3 regular thumb keys. Check out the Fulcrum for max ergo thumb functionality

I use 20 keys as my daily driver and it’s been a dream come true. My RSI disappeared and as a bonus I type faster than I did before on regular keyboard.

Fulcrum allows you to use one of the thumb joysticks as a mouse, though i wouldn't recommend it as a full mouse replacement

Although, I guess you could also go with your idea with using one hand for the vowel and one for the consonant and use just two 5way switches. There is actually a DIY keyboard with two 5way switches: https://github.com/dschil138/Fulcrum I think it would work well for kana input.

I think you would really like the fulcrum

I doubt this will be what you are looking for but I did the same thing with the keylogger and had the same realization, which heavily informed my keymap and hardware design on the Fulcrum. Full keymap is at the bottom of the readme page. Also if you go to my profile I have a pinned repo on key press stats that you may find interesting.

Fulcrum would be either your dream keyboard or your nightmare keyboard. Not sure which

I humbly suggest the 40-key version of the Fulcrum, which will give your thumbs a multitude of ergonomic options
