Overview

My QMK home. I feel as though I stand on the shoulders of giants, for a lot of my code here is borrowed and adapted from so many contributors here, and that I hope my code here can help or inspire others.

Layers, Handlers, and Macros

Layers

I have some predefined layer names for keyboards:

• _BASE: Default Layer, QWERTY layout.
• _FN1: Function Layer for 60% and above, and additional macros and shortcuts on 50% and below.
• _LOWER and _RAISE: Function layers for 40%

and macropads:

• _REEDER: Shortcuts for Reeder.app, my RSS feed reader
• _MEDIA: Media controls
• _NAVI: Navigation macros, for changing tabs and scrolling
• _KARABINER: Generic macro keys, meant to be customized per app with Karabiner

Protected Layers

I have some named "protected" layers, meant to be at the end of the layer list for changing keyboard settings and features.

• KEYMAP_LAYERS: Add additional layers in keymap.
• _AUDIO: Audio feature controls.
• _LIGHT: RGB Light/Matrix feature controls.
• _ADJUST: General keyboard settings and toggles. Can also contain RGB and Audio controls on larger boards that don't need and extra layer for those controls.

EEPROM User Config

I have a custom userspace config implemented to save settings on the board to persist across shutdowns. I currently store:

• rgb_layer_change - a toggle for using RGB themes for layer indication
• rgb_theme - a pointer to the currently set RGB Theme
