Jeremy Herve af84f0ff86 Keymap: Redox / jeherve: updates (#4694)
* Start using send_unicode_hex_string for shrug

See https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_unicode?id=send_unicode_hex_string

* Make sure one can come back to main layer after tapping to NAV

* Add 4 new keys to symbol layer

~, `, =, +, are now more accesssible. No need to reach out far from home row anymore

* Add two new macro keys

I did not have much use for the Expose key and the right Command key, so opted to replace those with 2 Macros:

- One to invoke Alfred: https://www.alfredapp.com/ => Opt + Space
- One to invoke 1password: https://1password.com/ => Cmd + Opt + \

* Update readme to mention changes in new version

* Remove unneeded short definition

* Shorter name for our custom key

See https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/4694#discussion_r243341864

* Make macros one-liners

See https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/4694#discussion_r243341487

* Switch to using eeconfig_init_user to set Unicode mode

A Colemak keymap for the Redox keyboard


jeherve-redox-layout-4


This keymap is a work in progress, and is meant to be used on macOS, with the "Unicode Hex Input" keyboard input.

macOS keyboard input setting

I may change a lot of the keys over the next few months, and will update this repo when I do so.

Layers

My keymap uses 5 layers:

  1. The default base layer, using Colemak.
  2. A Symbol layer, so all symbols can be accessed from the home row. (top right legends)
  3. A Navigation / Media layer, with both sound control and arrows on the home row. (bottom right legends)
  4. An international / Emoji layer so I can type accented characters commonly used in France and in Hungary, as well as a few Emoji I often use. (top center legends)
  5. A keyboard control layer, not pictured above, allowing me to control the LED lighting as well as the keyboard debug functions.
