Update the ergodox-ez/algernon keymap (#409)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Compared to the previous version, the following noteworthy changes have
been made to the keymap:

* The keyboard starts in NKRO mode, bootmagic and other things are
  disabled.
* A STENO layer was added, to be used with Plover.
* An experimental layout was added, something halfway between Dvorak and
  Capewell-Dvorak. A work in progress.
* `LEAD y` types \o/.
* Some keys on the BASE layer have been moved around:
  - `?` moved to the left pinky, left of `Q`.
  - `=` shifted one row down, but `F11` stayed where it was.
  - `-` on the left half was replaced by `Tab`.
  - `Tab`'s original position is taken by a `Media Next`/`Media Prev`
     key.
  - `:` now inputs `;` when shifted.
* `ESC` cancels the **HUN** layer too, not just modifiers.

* The `ESC` key also doubles as a one-shot cancel key: if tapped while any of
the one-shot modifiers are in-flight (as in, single-tapped, and not expired
yet), it cancels all one-shot modifiers. Otherwise it sends the usual keycode.
* The **Emacs** and **Hun** layer keys are one-shot, the **1Hand** is a toggle.
* The **Emacs** and **Hun** layer keys are one-shot, the **1Hand** and **STENO**
keys are toggles.
* The **Lead** key allows me to type in a sequence of keys, and trigger some
actions:
- `LEAD u` enters unicode input mode, by sending the GTK+ key sequence that
does this.
- `LEAD l` uses the unicode input method to enter a `λ`.
- `LEAD s` does a lot of magic to type in a shruggie: `¯\_(ツ)_/¯`
- `LEAD y` types `\o/`.
- `LEAD w m` maximises the currently focused window.
- `LEAD e` makes the [experimental layer](#experimental-layer) the default.
- `LEAD v` prints the firmware version, the keyboard and the keymap, if
compiled with a QMK version that has these available.

* The `Apps`/`BASE` key can be used to go back to the base layer, by
long-tapping it. A short-tap will send the `App` key, as usual.

## Steno layer

This is to be used with [Plover](http://www.openstenoproject.org/plover/),
nothing really fancy here. The **STENO** key toggles the layer on and off, and
sends the toggle command to Plover too.

## Experimental layer

While using the standard Dvorak layout, I encountered a number of
inconveniences, and on this layer, I am playing with ideas to make the layout
feel better. Initially, it was based on [Capewell-Dvorak][cpd], but that too,
had shortcomings I was not happy with. So now this is something inbetween, with
own observations thrown in. How it works out in the long run remains to be seen.
