cbbrowne custom keyboard

Due to cbbrowne@acm.org Christopher Browne

This was originally based on the default keyboard map, but I have been doing sundry experimentation:

  • To figure things out about the toolset
  • I'm an Emacs guy, so will be needing a fair bit of tuning
  • It made sense to mess around some with keyboard maps.
    • I tried added Workman alongside Dvorak and Colemak
      • Boy, oh boy, these don't help!!!
      • I have done 30 years of learning of Emacs key mappings, and these alternative keyboards massively mess me up
    • I added a keypad, originally based on keymaps/numpad.c, but mighty substantially revised, as that one seems to be rotated 90 degrees from usual conventions for number pads
  • The keypad layer also includes some sample "hacks" of cool things, all using actions attached in using the function action_get_macro()
    • Key [1][2] aka "q" types out my name, cbbrowne, as a fun example of a key generating a bunch of keystrokes. The keystroke is sufficiently inconvenient that it isn't terribly practical for me to use it, but hey, it shows how others might use this facility in a more useful context.
    • Key [2][2] aka "a" uses a random number generator to select a digit 0-9 at random
    • Key [3][2] aka "z" uses a random number generator to select a letter a-z at random
