# plattfot's keymap for [Kyria](https://github.com/splitkb/kyria)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Designed to be ease of use when programming, typing in both English
|
||
and Swedish and navigating around in a tiling window manager, in my
|
||
case [sway](https://swaywm.org/). Uses the two rotary encoders (lower
|
||
left/right thumb row) as two palm buttons.
|
||
|
||
This keymap avoids [Mod-tap](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/mod_tap) as they do
|
||
not work for me. [Kyria](https://github.com/splitkb/kyria) has enough
|
||
thumb keys to make it work without them.
|
||
|
||
The symbols are split into two layers, one for each hand. Then the
|
||
layers are activated by the opposite thumb. Found that having all
|
||
symbols on one layer then have one thumb activate them made it awkward
|
||
to press keys with the index finger on the same hand.
|
||
|
||
Custom feature I call the close tap (Clotap) key, I based on a code
|
||
snippet from a
|
||
[reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/olkb/comments/citkbx/double_key_press_modifier_qmkwould_work_like/ev9cue8).
|
||
When pressed, it will insert the closing equivivalent key and press
|
||
`←` (left arrow). For example tapping Clotap then press `(` will
|
||
result in the keypresses `()←`, if pressing `"` will result in `""←`,
|
||
if pressing `)` will result in `)←(`. Really nice to have when
|
||
programming, it is editor agnostic and saves me two keypresses (need
|
||
to press NAV+j for `←`). It also removes the need for having specific
|
||
macros for these as I had before.

Setup for using the
|
||
[EurKey](https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/layout.html) layout. As
|
||
it's annoying to have to toggle us and swedish layout which shifts
|
||
symbols around.
|
||
|
||
AltGr is used to access the extra keys in the
|
||
[EurKey](https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/layout.html) layout.
|
||
|
||
## Notable features on this layer
|
||
|
||
Left rotary encoder
|
||
- Press: play/pause
|
||
- Rotate: Volume control
|
||
|
||
Right rotary encoder
|
||
- Press: Scroll lock
|
||
- Rotate: Page up/Page down. Used mouse scrolling at first. But
|
||
scrolling only works in the window where the mouse pointer
|
||
is. Which kind of defeated the purpose of having the scroll
|
||
on the keyboard, as I still needed to move my hand to the
|
||
mouse and then I could just use the scroll on the mouse.
|
||
|
||
[Leader key](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_leader_key) is mainly used
|
||
for jumping between workspaces. Otherwise I would need to use both
|
||
hands everytime I need to switch. With the leader key I can jump
|
||
between 1-5 with just the left hand.
|
||
|
||
# Lower Layer: Left symbols/Right function keys

|
||
|
||
Symbols for the left hand, function keys for the right hand.
|
||
|
||
I had the function keys at the bottom on the navigation layer. But it
|
||
was annoying when typing version strings. Hitting f1-5+f11 involved
|
||
both hands. And it turned out that my keybinding for closing a window
|
||
(Super+Shift+c) and rebooting my machine (Super+Shift+f3) ended up on
|
||
the same physical keys.
|
||
|
||
Splitting them up like this allows me to hit all the function keys
|
||
with just one hand and I wont accidentally reboot my machine when
|
||
trying to close a window.
|
||
|
||
## Notable features on this layer

Has two Eurkey specific symbols `°` and `×` on the left hand.

Access to the number and the arrow keys. Got use to the number row
|
||
after using [ErgoDox](https://www.ergodox.io/) keyboards for a few
|
||
years. Do not feel I need a numpad layer, which seems to be quite
|
||
common with small keyboards like this.

Right now it only contains adjustment to the underglow. Activated by
|
||
holding down `RAISE` and `LOWER` at the same time.
