Update noroadsleft userspace and keymaps (2021-05-03) (#12796) 
* Set Dvorak as the standard base layer

* Remove unneeded includes

* Remove custom handling for Quake 2

Have now rewritten my in-game configuration to use Dvorak mapping instead of QWERTY, which means I don't need any of this stuff.

* Clean up comments in KC60 keymap

@noroadsleft's KC60 keymap

Last updated: May 3, 2021 16:42 (-0700)

I am a full-time Dvorak typist, and occasional semi-serious FPS gamer. The layers are oriented towards a mix of typing and gaming.

Preface

Images in this readme follow the following format:

Descriptions of the physical locations of keys will use the key's function in a US QWERTY layout, even if the layout itself is not QWERTY.

Outline

Base Layers

My base layers are pretty standard for a 60%, with the following changes:

  • The Menu key has been replaced by MO(_FN), which moves to my Function layer when held.
  • The Right GUI key has been replaced with a MO(_MA) key, which moves to the Macro layer when held.
  • The Caps Lock key has been replaced with a dual function LT() key, which opens the Function layer when held, and is Caps Lock when tapped.
  • The Left Control key has been replaced with a MT(MOD_CTRL, KC_GRV) key, which is Ctrl when held and ` ~ when tapped.

Layer 0: Dvorak - _DV

A hardware-based Dvorak Simplified layout. In this layer, I can leave the host system in QWERTY, plug my keyboard in, and still type in Dvorak.

Dvorak layer

Layer 1: QWERTY - _QW

  • Accessed by holding either Fn and tapping /? key, then tapping 2@.

For when other people need to use my keyboard. :)

QWERTY layer

Layer 2: Hardware Colemak _CM

  • Accessed by holding either Fn and tapping /? key, then tapping 3#.

A hardware-based Colemak layout. Been thinking of trying it, so it's here.

Colemak layer

Quake 2 Layer

Layer 3: Quake 2 _Q2

  • Accessed by holding either Fn key and tapping the /? key, then tapping 4$

I used to have some macro craziness here. I've now switched to leaving my main system in QWERTY and having the Dvorak stuff happen on the keyboard, and setting my in-game key assignments to the Dvorak mapping (.OEU instead of ESDF).

Quake 2

Function Layer

Layer 4: Function layer - _FN

  • Accessed by holding either Fn key from any base layer

Arrows, Navigation keys (Insert, Home, Page Up, etc.), and Function keys are here. Also has keys for Calculator, Menu, Volume Control, and shortcuts for Select All, Undo, Cut, Copy, and Paste. Numpad Enter for when I'm working in Adobe Photoshop, because it treats Numpad Enter differently from the regular Enter key.

Fn layer

Other Layers

Layer 5: Numpad layer - _NP

  • Accessed by holding either Fn key and tapping Space, from any of the Base Layers

Puts a Numpad on the right-hand side of the keyboard. A through F included for hexadecimal input. Tapping Space returns to the previous Base Layer.

Numpad layer

Layer 6: Macro layer - _MA

  • Accessed by holding the right-side Win key

Has some macros that I use in Git, and keys for use with the Dynamic Macros feature.

For macro documentation, see my userspace readme.

Macro layer

Layer 7: System layer - _SY

  • Accessed by holding either Fn key and tapping the /? key

This is where I change my keyboard function. Base layer select on 1 through 4, Backlight controls on C through N, Reset on 8*, Debug on 0). Hitting Esc exits the layer.
