ZMK enables myriad functionality that is technically neither feature nor behavior, but typically results from novel composition of configuration, features, and behaviors. Questions about this class of functionality often arise in Discord server discussion, and the techniques to implement them are currently passed on informally by reference to personal configurations. Having official documentation for this functionality could help with standardization and transmission of these techniques.

The name "recipes" seems to capture the nature of this type of functionality.

Some examples of recipes include:

  • Home Row Mods
  • Callum Mods
  • Adjust Layer
  • Multiple Base Layers
  • OS Profile Layer Change

This draft PR is intended to explore documenting these recipes, and to refine the definition of a "recipe".

Tasks:

  • formulate clear definition of recipe
  • find appropriate home in docs for definition
  • fill out initial recipe pages
  • settle on structure/template for a typical recipe page
  • identify additional recipes

Feel free to contribute using comments here, or as PRs targeting the upstream branch.

ZMK Discord discussion where this idea originated.

Recipes document distinct functionality provided by novel use of
existing config, features, and behaviors.

n.b. All pages are currently only placeholders. All names are tentative.
A first stab at the potential structure of a recipe, while starting to
flesh out some of the details of the home row mods recipe.
