Keymaps

• default - sample keymap with home row mods. Not recommended for longer use - create your own.
• hid - default keymap with HID support. Requires additional software running on computer, see https://github.com/zzeneg/qmk-hid-host.
• i2c - default keymap with I2C Cirque instead of default SPI
• zzeneg - my highly customized layout, you can use as a reference

Keymaps have EE_HANDS enabled, so any side can be master (though using side with touchpad as master is recommended). You have to specify left/right side by flashing with different commands:

qmk flash -kb stront -km default -bl uf2-split-left

or

qmk flash -kb stront -km default -bl uf2-split-right

If your keyboard is flashed already, you can do it by pressing key combinations - hold inner thumb key, then hold outer thumb key to activate SYSTEM layer. Now press outer bottom pinky key for left side or inner bottom index key for right side. See keymap for better understanding. Reconnect the keyboard to apply changes.

Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 2 ways:

• Bootmagic reset: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (outer top pinky key) and plug in the keyboard
• Keycode in layout: Press the key mapped to QK_BOOT - by default you need to hold inner thumb key, then hold outer thumb key and press middle thumb key (see keymap.c for details). It's a complicated combination to avoid accidental activations.

RP2040 Zero has physical boot/reset buttons but they are unaccessible after the keyboards is assembled, so always keep a QK_BOOT key and/or bootmagic feature in your keymaps.
