#+Title: miryoku.org

The miryoku layout is an ergonomic, minimal, orthogonal layout for ergo or ortho
keyboards, implemented as part of the QMK firmware.  The layout is maintained in
emacs org-mode tables and converted to QMK keymap data structures using embedded
python scripts.  The layout is mapped onto keyboards with different physical
layouts as a subset without code duplication using the QMK userland feature and
C macros.  Versions of the layout can also be seen outside of the QMK source at
[[https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku/]].

** Info

*** General Principles

    - Use layers instead of reaching.
    - Use both hands instead of contortions.
    - Use the home positions as much as possible.
    - Make full use of the thumbs.
    - Avoid unnecessary complication.


*** Specifics

    - 5 columns, 3 rows, 3 thumb keys, 2 hands.
    - Can be used on almost any split or non-split ergo or ortho keyboard.
    - Includes all keys found on a US layout TKL keyboard, plus media keys and
      mouse emulation.
    - Home row is the middle row, home thumb key is the middle thumb key.
    - Maximum 1-u movement from home position for fingers and thumbs, and only
      along one axis (except for the inner index finger column which is
      deprioritised compared with the home columns).
    - Dual-function modifiers on home row, mirrored on both hands.
    - Dual-function layer change on thumbs.
    - Layers are designed orthogonally with a single purpose per hand and are
      accessed by holding a thumb key on the opposite hand.
    - Holding layer change and modifiers on one hand combined with a single key
      press on the other hand can produce any combination of modifiers and
      single keys without any finger contortions.
    - Single function mods are also defined on layers on the same hand as the
      layer change thumb key so layer change and mods can be held in any order
      or simultaneously without race conditions.
    - As mods are only enabled on the opposite hand, auto-repeat is available on
      the home row on layers for use with cursor and mouse keys.
    - Tap-hold auto-repeat is disabled to enable faster tap-hold switching on
      thumbs but thumb tap keys are mirrored onto some layers for use with
      auto-repeat.


** Layers

The layers are maintained in tables, with the thumb keys on the bottom row.  NP
indicates the key is not present and is used to fill in the table around the
thumb keys.  The grid arrangement of the tables does not imply a particular
physical layout.

Basic keycodes are entered without the KC_ prefix.  Symbols can be entered as-is
(excepting '"' (DQUO) and '|' (PIPE)).  Empty cells are unused.

The base layer has both halves of the layout joined for convenience.  Other
layers are specified as a single hand.

*** Base (BASE)


The base layer is maintained as separate tap and hold tables and are combined
into the corresponding tap-hold keycodes for mods and layer change.  RST and
mods will be available on sub layers on the same hand as the layer change thumb
key.  Unknown names are considered to be layer names.

Base layer alphas are Colemak DHm.  Thumb keys are backspace, enter, delete on
the right and space, tab, escape on the left.  Dot, comma and apostrophe are
included for prose, dot and slash for file and directory names.

*** Navigation (NAVR)

Primary right-hand layer (left home thumb) is navigation and editing.  Cursor
keys are on the home position, line and page movement below, clipboard above,
caps and insert on the inner column.  Thumb keys are duplicated from the base
layer to avoid having to layer change mid edit and to enable auto-repeat.

| ENT  | BSPC | DEL  | NP   | NP   |


*** Mouse (MOUR)

Secondary RH layer is mouse emulation.  Mouse movement mirrors cursor navigation
on home and wheel mirrors line / page movement below.  Buttons are on the
thumbs.  Mouse movement, click, and drag with modifiers can be performed from
the home position.  Unused keys are available for other related functions.

*** Media (MEDR)

Tertiary RH layer is media control, with volume up / down and next / prev
mirroring the navigation keys.  Pause, stop and mute are on thumbs.  Unused keys
are available for other related functions.

#+NAME: medr

| MSTP | MPLY | MUTE | NP   | NP   |


*** Numerals and Symbols (NSL)

Primary left-hand layer (right home thumb) is numerals and symbols.  Numerals
are in the standard numpad locations with symbols in the remaining positions.
Dot is duplicated from the base layer for convenience.

#+NAME: nsl
| [    | 7    | 8    | 9    | ]    |

| NP   | NP   | .    | 0    | -    |


*** Shifted Numerals and Symbols (NSSL)

Secondary LH layer has shifted symbols in the same locations to reduce chording
when using mods with shifted symbols.  Automatically generated from unshifted
table.


*** Function and System (FUNL)

Tertiary LH layer has function keys mirroring the numerals on the primary layer
with extras on the pinkie column, plus system keys on the inner column.  App
(menu) is on the tertiary thumb key and other thumb keys are duplicated from the
base layer to enable auto-repeat.

To use the keymap on a keyboard supporting the layouts feature, LAYOUT_miryoku
is defined as a macro mapping onto the layout's own LAYOUT macro, leaving the
unused keys as KC_NO.  The userspace keymap is then included.

For the ergodox layout, the main 5x3 alphas are used as usual. The primary and
secondary thumb keys are the inner and outer 2u thumb keys and the tertiary
thumb key is the innermost key of the partial bottom row.  The remaining keys
are unused.

To build for any keyboard using this layout (4x4, nori, chimera_ls, contra,
divergetm2, jj40, lets_split, lets_split_eh, meira, niu_mini, planck, telophase,
vitamins_included, zinc, zlant, ortho48, kbd4x, levinson, wavelet, plaid)
e.g. the levinson,

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle no
make keebio/levinson:manna-harbour_miryoku:avrdude
#+END_SRC


** Keyboards

To use the keymap on a keyboard which does not support the layouts feature,
LAYOUT_miryoku is defined as a macro mapping onto the keyboard's own LAYOUT
macro, leaving the unused keys as KC_NO.  The userspace keymap is then included.


*** crkbd

The outer columns are unused.
