MechMerlin's DZ60 Keymap

The purpose of this keymap is to provide examples on how to do some common QMK features.

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

make dz60:mechmerlin

Layers

Merlin's keymap has three different layers. To switch layers you can use the MO(X) keycode, where X is the layer you want to switch to.

_BL

This is the base layer also known as layer 0. It is a standard QWERTY layout. It has the _FL layer switch key.

_FL

This is the function layer also known as layer 1. It utiizes the following:

Function Keys
Navigation Keys
Audio keys such as Mute, Volume Down and Volume Up.
_CL layer switch key

_CL

This is the control layer also known as layer 2. It utilizes the following:

RGB Controls
RESET key

Non Standard Keycodes

RESET

As long BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE is set to yes in rules.mk, the DZ60 can be put into bootloader mode by holding the Escape key while plugging in. However sometmes this doesn't work or is troublesome to do, might as well use the RESET keycode to accomplish this.

RSFT_T(KC_SLSH)

Layout B is missing the ? key and is instead replaced with a right shift. This keycode makes it so that the key can be tapped for ? and held for right shift.

LCTL_T(KC_CAPS)

Caps Lock is only ever used by tapping, why not use it as a control key when held? This keycode makes it so that the key can be tapped for caps lock and held for control.

RGB Lighting

RGBLIGHT_SLEEP

This is set in mechmerlin/config.h so that when the computer goes to sleep, the RGB lights will also go to sleep on the keyboard. They will turn back on when the computer wakes.

RGB Underglow Color: Yellow

This is set in mechmerlin/keymap.c in the matrix_init_user function. The list of available colors can be found in quantum/color.h.
