noroadsleft ce465c084b Updates to noroadsleft keymap for KC60 (#5127)
* NUBS_Z: initial version

Create a keycode that is normally Z, but KC_NUBS when tapped while Alt is being held.

This removes the possibility of using an Alt+Z shortcut.

* NUBS_Z: modification

Modify NUBS_Z macro to only use alternate operation if Right Alt is being held, rather than responding to either Alt key.

Also add QMK version keycode to System layer, Equals key.

* Remove unneeded breaks from process_record_user

* Macro refactoring

- removed G_RST and G_C10R macros
- updated G_BRCH macro
  - outputs `master` if used while Shift is held down; or my git alias for the current branch otherwise
- updated G_FTCH macro
  - outputs `git pull upstream ` if used with Shift; `git fetch upstream ` otherwise
- swapped `modifiers` variable for `get_mods()` function directly for checking modifier state
- swapped keymap-level modifier mask macros for QMK-core mod mask macros (thanks vomindoraan #4337)
- renamed MODS_RALT_MASK to MOD_MASK_RALT (more consistent with the above change)

* Update readme files

@noroadsleft's KC60 keymap


Layer 0: QWERTY - _QW

Standard QWERTY layout, with three QMK features:

  • The Menu key has been replaced by MO(_FW), which moves to my Windows Fn layer when held.
  • The Caps Lock key has been replaced with a dual function LT() key, which opens the Windows Fn layer when held, and is Caps Lock when tapped
  • The Escape key has been replaced with a KC_GESC ` ~ key when used with a Fn key or a Shift key
For the rest of this readme, the physical location of keys will be referred to by their function in a US QWERTY layout.

QWERTY layer

Keycode(s) Sent Notes
KC_GESC Esc when tapped alone, ` ~ when used with a Shift or GUI key.
LT(_FW, KC_CAPS) Opens the Windows Fn layer when held; toggles Caps Lock when tapped.
MO(_FW) Opens the Windows Fn layer when held.

Layer 1: Hardware Dvorak - _DV

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

A hardware-based Dvorak Simplified layout. At my weekend job, I use a shared computer that runs MacOS Sierra, in US QWERTY layout. In this layer, I can leave the system in QWERTY, plug my keyboard in, and still type in Dvorak.

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