Fn
+Right Ctrl
+ESC
- Underglow toggle is available as
Fn
+Q
. - vim-style arrow key bindings H J K L in layer 1
Initial Installation
I found the instructions to be longer than they had to be, and I ended up having to Google some steps anyway. These are the steps I took to get my keyboard setup, in case you are new to the process.
- Fork and Clone the qmk_firmware repo locally
# Choose one:
git clone git@github.com:qmk/qmk_firmware.git # OR
git clone https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git
- Customize your layout by starting with a keymap. I copied the default and changed it to my liking.
- Before plugging in your keyboard into your computer, hold
ESC
key down - Plug the keyboard into your computer, which will put the keyboard in bootloader mode.
- Build your hex file and flash your keyboard
make gray_studio/space65:billiams:flash # be in the qmk_firmware directory to do this
Notes:
- If you are using QMK Toolbox, use
make gray_studio/space65:<keymap>
in the base qmk_firmware directory instead of step 5 above which will create a hex filegray_studio_space65_billiams.hex
which you can then choose in the toolbox and hit flash - If you accidentally loaded the default keymap, then to
RESET
the keyboard and kick it into bootloader mode again, hold theESC
key and plug the board in.
Hope this helps!
