NOTE TO NEW READERS: This keymap is designed for people using UK keyboard layouts on their OS. It will work mostly the same for any other QWERTY layout, but some symbols may be different from the mapping images.
This repository is a keymap for the Lily58 series of ergonomic keyboards. It is intended to be a developer oriented keymap with the following features:
To provide easy access to commonly used symbols, the keymap uses QMK's Space Cadet Keys.
| Key When Held | Key When Tapped |
|---|---|
LEFT_SHIFT |
( |
RIGHT_SHIFT |
) |
LEFT_ALT |
[ |
RIGHT_ALT |
] |
This should allow for devs to write a lot of code without having to hit SHIFT or switch to a symbols layer to perform common code symbols.
Furthermore a few extra tweaks have been made to the default layer to minimize layer switching:
- Dedicated curly bracket (
{and}) keys.
F1 to F12 are so standard. The symbol layer allows up to F20... if your operating system supports them.
Arrow keys are mapped to H, J, K, L keys. To keep the theme, Y, U,
I, and O are mapped to the mouse horizontal and vertical scroll wheels, and
N, M, ,, and . are mapped to home, pgdn, pgup and end respectively!
The navigation layer includes keys for moving the mouse cursor, as well as keys for left, middle and right click!
The MACROS layer brings support for media keys (including volume control) as well as a limited set of macros (currently limited to power buttons). This layer has a lot of empty spaces for you to define your own QMK macros.
Hold layer keys to use keys on that layer briefly, or tap them twice to stay on that layer until you want to switch back.
The images below show the full keymaps for each supported layer. A printable HTML file can be foumd here.
The Macros layer is activated by pressing the Symbols and Navigation layer keys simultaneously,
If you wish to try out this layout, follow these instructions:
Follow the instructions on the QMK website to install QMK on your computer.
Navigate to your qmk_firmware folder inside a terminal/command prompt window:
Then, use the following command to install the cbiscuit keymap:
git submodule add https://github.com/karlnicoll/lily58-cbiscuit.git keyboards/lily58/keymaps/cbiscuitThe final step is to flash your keyboard. This is done the same way as in the lily58 build guide, with a minor adjustment to use the correct keymap:
make lily58:cbiscuit:avrdudeFollow the on-screen instructions to complete flashing the keymap to your keyboard.
Once finished, your keyboard will be running new firmware with the cbiscuit keymap!
This keymap is released into the public domain.
