#+Title: Samuel's Literate QMK Config
#+PROPERTY: header-args :tangle ~/qmk_firmware/keyboards/planck/keymaps/samuel/keymap.c

This is my qmk firmware for my keyboard. I grew tired of organizing the keycode
array in plain text so I made it a literate .org file. I've never done this
before, so bear with me.

  This is my "pretty" org mode organized table for my main dvorak layer. If you
  don't use org mode, it won't be that exciting, but if you enjoy working in org
  mode, you can edit this table directly, and this file is tangled to the actual
  keymap. No more organizing spaces or converting to and from comments.

  I tried to keep my layout bare bones, just what would be available on a normal
  keyboard, minus some keys I never used. This one secondary layer should cover a
  majority of the keys not found on the home layer. The bottom left copies a normal
  keyboards symbols from shifted numbers, and the rest is placed where convenient,
  with some considerations for one handed use, hence the shortcuts in the top
  left.

  This qwerty layout is just so normal people can try out the board. Tap keys
  would need to be customized I think, more on that later. I also put another
  dvorak key here because I have nightmares of getting trapped in this forsaken
  layout.

* Keymap Conversion in Python

  This python can convert that table into the array needed for the keymap file. It
  simply prepends every key with "KC_". I used to use a dictionary to convert some
  keys from the table into qmk keycodes, but the double convertion was
  unneccessary so I just prepended all my macros with KC and moved all the
  implementation to the `process-user-input` function.

  #+NAME:layer-to-array
  #+BEGIN_SRC python :var keys=secondary-layer :tangle no
  row = 0
  results = ''
  while row < len(keys):
    key = 0
    while key < len(keys[row]):
      keyName = str(keys[row][key])
      if keyName == '--':
        keyName = 'TRANSPARENT'
      results += 'KC_' + keyName
      if key != 11:
        results += ', '
      key+=1
    if row != 3:
      results += ','
    results += '\n'
    row+=1
  return results
  #+END_SRC

  Tap keys are technically defined in the mod_lift function. but this is will
  implement that function from the org table.

  def getKey(keys, istapkey):

    else:
      keyName = str(keys[row][col])
    if keyName == '--':
      keyName = 'TRANSPARENT'
    if istapkey == False:
      return 'KC_T_' + keyName, 'KC_' + keyName
    else:

** Tap Keys

   I don't like tap keys coming out on release. When modified, I often let go of
   the modifier too early because the tap button doesn't come out untill release. I
   guess you could save the state of the board on press and then apply it after the
   timer, but what I really want is the keys to come out on press when they can and
   when it is most useful. For me, that is when they are modified a single time. So
   I kind of "locked" the board into only doing single modifiers, making them faster.
   Disadvantages are double modified keys must be done with one shot keys (its
   actually not that bad, it feels like emacs!) and triple modified keys are
   impossible at the moment.

   #+BEGIN_SRC C :noweb yes

  char last_mod = 10;

      /* delay when modifying a tap key which would result in the tap key not */
      /* getting modified. */
      if (last_mod != id && last_mod != 10) {
          tap_code16(tap_code);
