qmk_firmware VS qmk_configurator

Hey guys more than a qmk question I have a GitHub question, I have a corne, lilf58 and a zsa plank keyboards, I use a variation of Dvorak which is totally custom so I mantain my own branch ir order to have the same layout across my keyboards to have the same experience when I switch between them but the zsa branch is a fork from the qmk (https://github.com/zsa/qmk_firmware/fork) but git don't allow me to do another fork. I would like to have my changes pushed in both projects what I currently do is have a fork for my corn and lily and in my fork I put my changes, and for the zsa fork I just clone it in my machine but I can't push anything to have a backup I would only like to change between branches to have access to my other keybs, sorry for the long post if any one else has this issue, how do you solve it?

They have their own fork. https://github.com/zsa/qmk_firmware

ZSA's oryx training does that, but it needs web-usb iirc. As they use a QMK fork, someone with more experience may be able to reproduce that with their own layout and a basic that handles the "monitoring traffic".

Head over to ZSA's source on Github, scroll down to the building section. Take a note of the command it mentions there, but otherwise follow along with the instructions in that "Newbs guide from QMK."

ZSA’s QMK fork doesn’t have a bug tracker, and I’m not sure whether Oryx has one. But Drashna did open an Auto Shift-related pull request a couple of days ago!

You can see a full list here: https://github.com/zsa/qmk_firmware/wiki/Changelog

Apologies if there is a better way to post code How I did this: * Forked the zsa repo for ergodox * https://github.com/zsa/qmk_firmware * Followed the newbie guide to setup QMK environment * https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs * Went to my current layout in oryz and selected Download Source (Glow) * Created a directory for my code in the forked repo * qmk_firmware > keyboards > ergodox_ez > glow > keymaps > shadowra88it * Copied the contents of my source folder to that directory * config.h , keymap.c, rules.mk * I disabled all the animations I didn't want so that I didn't have to cycle so much in config.h and defined using keypresses * keymaps.c I left alone. * rules.mk I added RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_USER = yes to the end of the file. * Then all the magic happens in the newly created rgb_matrix_user.inc

Handedness? Not sure what do you mean by that. I'm using the config.qmk.fm website for the key configuration

I'm using https://config.qmk.fm/ to create a firmware for Iris rev.7 including mouse keys, and then use QMK toolbox on MacOs to flash the firmware, but while everything else works in all layers, the mouse keys do not move the cursor at all. Any ideas?

How can I use https://config.qmk.fm/ to map certain specific keys such as € or @, that are not direct or available in the framework ?

"documentation": "\"This file is a QMK Configurator export. You can import this at . It can also be used directly with QMK's source code.\n\nTo setup your QMK environment check out the tutorial: \n\nYou can convert this file to a keymap.c using this command: `qmk json2c {keymap}`\n\nYou can compile this keymap using this command: `qmk compile {keymap}`\"\n",

I didn't want to really start another thread because the question I have is so similar I think. I was somehow able to use config.qmk.fm to map a really generic colemak-dh keymap, I read the qmk noob section so I looked up how to use github/git completely lost, I have the Corne 3x6 I didn't build it I purchased it secondhand so Ive been doing some research on ergonomic mapping Miryoku generally seems to be a solid choice

I'd recommend you jump on QMK configurator, select the Charybdis of desired size, and start making your layers 😉

My keyboard was working fine prior to flashing. I have a solderable dz60 (ATMEGA32U4). I tried to flash it with firmware downloaded from config.qmk.fm (selected dz60 as keyboard). It said successful on qmk toolbox, but my caps lock light is stuck on and no button presses work. The esc + plugin option to reset stopped working, so I had to take the pcb out to press the reset button. Still not working after flashing with default firmware downloaded from config.qmk.fm. I tried flashing it with dz60 via firmware, and it gets recognized in via now, but still not working. After hours of troubleshooting of it not working, I flashed it with dz60rgb_v2 just to see what happens, and then very few of the keys work after a few presses (but they're mismapped), and the caps lock light goes off. I've tried the keyboard on different devices, and on both of them it gets recognized as a keyboard, but the caps lock light is still stuck on and no presses register.

Let's suppose that the issue is the diode orientation. I'm a total QMK newbie -- how could I swap between ROW2COL and COL2ROW at the firmware level? On the QMK Github I see instructions for modifying the appropriate headers. But when I generate my config from config.qmk.fm I only get a single .hex file. Thanks again!

Probably the easiest way to do it by clicking buttons is to use config.qmk.fm.

For non-ez keyboards, a similar tool is the QMK Configurator. See this documentation page or the video tutorial for an overview.
