  This is qmk.

• Help with Kinetic Mouse Mode
  reddit.com/r/olkb | 2021-03-01

  I'm trying to use the Kinetic Mouse Mode that was added to QMK in this PR. I switched to the development branch and I can see the updated files (documentation, mousekey.h, mousekey.c), and compiling shows a QMK version of 0.12.8. However, no matter what I do it seems to keep using the default acceleration mode.

  Not an expert on NKRO or QMK but apparently QMK boards can be programmed to support NKRO: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/getting_started_make_guide.md

  Looks like Chibios-contrib made it to the master branch. elfmimi needs you to make some very minor changes in your chconf.h, halconf.h, and config.h, listed here: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/11112#issuecomment-787812891 and then it's just approval, and you've made it! Congrats and thank you so much for your work and persistence in getting the project done!

• Tap Dance with Macro
  reddit.com/r/olkb | 2021-02-28

  I am trying to save the macros in another file secrets.h in the qmk root folder hidden from git, and call them using the keycodes. Something like https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/users/drashna/readme_secrets.md My goal is to keep all my macros maintained in one file while accessible those from different keyboards. Some of the macros I want to activate in the default layer by tap dance, so that I use one finger to quickly activate it without having to switch layer using two fingers.

• Preonic/Planck Music mode Help
  reddit.com/r/olkb | 2021-02-28

  As long as you're building your firmware yourself and not using the online QMK Configurator, you should be able to tweak all of the music related configurations on your local machine in the files you'd find here.

• Do you use smartparens or not? Why?
  reddit.com/r/emacs | 2021-02-28

  I don't, this feature always annoyed me when I don't want the extra brackets, although I did add this feature to my programmable keyboard layout, so I can explicitly type in matching brackets as needed.

• First time, confused and frustrated

  To be more precise what VIA is: VIA is software communicating with QMK. QMK has a flag which enables communication with VIA on the keyboard side (https://caniusevia.com/docs/configuring_qmk). it's not compatible with all QMK features (although Drop Ctrl doesn't seem to use the incompatible features https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/massdrop/ctrl/rules.mk).

  Or get a keyboard that supports qmk firmware.

• Make custom light modes?
  reddit.com/r/Keychron | 2021-02-26

  It has been being worked here https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/7370. The k8 has been involved.

• Hopefully I Can Keep These Plants Alive Gmk
  reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards | 2021-02-25

  Yes, you have to setup QMK and create a Tokyo60 keymap with the VIA flag turned on. I believe there are some examples of this in the Drop comments.

  QMK

• Keypad with 3d printed PCB
  reddit.com/r/3Dprinting | 2021-02-25

  Could you run QMK Firmware on it? I have it on my mechs and if you need more advanced functionality like having the keys do different things based on how many times they're pressed (Tap Dance), or layers.
