QMK and Keyboards

Get someone to write a profile for https://get.vial.today/ support.

They are making them because people keep buying them. Turns out most people actually like typing on them.

Keychron K3 Pro Random Power Off and Via Reset?
Less drastic than reflashing could be to reset to factory defaults. Note that this will wipe out any Via/Vial configuration and other configuration (e.g., RGB mode, RGB colour settings, and NKRO setting).

Per-key RGB lighting K3 pro
At all possible? Yes, but probably not from Via. I don't know about Vial (it requires special versions of the keyboard firmware).

The ScottoStarter handwired keyboard
This is the second one I’ve built but it’s for someone else, this is too many keys for me lol. The case is printed in a super nice matte green then it uses Boba U4Ts that sound and feel super nice. The keycaps are just a placeholder while I test the board, I’m certain they’ll put something that matches. The board is fully compatible with Vial and runs on a USB-C Pro Micro.

Double tap to lock fn key? Is this possible using via? K8 Pro
VIA doesn't have any support for configuring tap-dances, nor does the QMK Configurator. Your two options are either using VIAL https://get.vial.today/. Or utilizing the feature directly in QMK source code https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_tap_dance.

Different key when tapping/holding with VIA?
This was my exact scenario, and I ended up flashing my keyboard with Vial QMK. It’s a Via-like interface that allows you to edit additional QMK settings like the tap-hold timings.

Idea: script for generating QMK keymap and diagram
Why doesn't usevia.app support these features? Is there something about them that makes them hard to code? Maybe the issues will have relevant threads

VIA Nº3 Released
Maybe Because Olivia is one of the main developers behind Via?
- In VIA, all these QMK Lighting key assignments are too long...

K8-Pro-ANSI-RGB-v1.5.json gives error in Via? (fixed)
Over at the VIA Github, the devs seem kinda mad at the Keychron guys for using the older V2 standard instead of V3...

Newb; wondering some things about QMK and VIA
Via is part of QMK and offers a GUI to edit keymap on the fly. You are effectively reprogramming part of the firmware, without the need to compile it from scratch. Via has not as many options to customize your firmware as pure QMK and has bugs sometimes (https://github.com/the-via/app/issues/82)
- Is VIA a security vulnerability ?
- Is VIA still closed source ?

VIA update: October 2022
