A heavily customized layout for my Ergodox EZ keyboard
GPL-3.0 License
I wanted a layout that suited my Linux & Vim usage. I also didn't like the lack of efficient access to some of the more common special characters used in programming.

keys (modifier when pressed, key when tapped). Those keys work with a global timeout. When a key press is shorter than the timeout, it's considered a tap, otherwise it's a hold. I couldn't find any particular timeout that would work for me. I need to use mods extremely fast, but also want the confort of using them more slowly in other occasions. So I gave up on this feature altogether.{}[]

For every key press, the keyboard will output a JSON-formatted line containing the position of the key in the matrix. This allows one to collect usage information, and to build analytics over it, such as a heat map.
Keyboard output can be caught using hid_listen
.
This functionality is enabled by default (via KEYLOGGER_ENABLE
and
AUTOLOG_ENABLE
in Makefile
).
If you are reading this directly through QMK firmware's repository, you can build this layout with the standard method:
$ make keyboard=ergodox_ez keymap=naps62
If you're reading this from my own repository, then you'll need to checkout this code into QMK's repository. Here's an example:
$ git clone https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware.git
$ cd qmk_firmware
$ git clone https://github.com/naps62/ergodox-layout.git keyboards/ergodox_ez/keymaps/naps62
$ make keyboard=ergodox_ez keymap=naps62
