This release introduces the Enthium alpha layout and adjusts the Number, Function, and System layers accordingly; improves thumb key timing, adds per-key RGB indicators (requires PR30 beta firmware) for home row mods and Miryoku layer activation, inward-rolling sticky modifiers for character selection in the World layer, and much more! 💁

Number layer
System layer
Function layer
Emoji layer
World layer

Layout:

  • Base layer: switch from Engrammer to the Enthium alpha layout (my programmer-friendly adaptation of the Hands Down Promethium layout). Note that Engrammer is still available as the second layer, and you can choose it or any of the other alpha layouts as your base layer as documented in the installation instructions. Only the Halmak layout was removed in order to make room for Enthium, but you can restore that layer by copying it from the previous release of this keymap if needed.
  • Base layer: move Space/Tab to left thumb to make room for R key on right thumb.
  • Base layer: move CapsWord key to T2, add CapsLock key to T3 on the left thumb.
  • Base layer: move BackSpace to T5, Delete to T2; add Insert on T3 on right thumb.
  • Base layer: move square brackets to left hand (just like on the symbol layer).
  • Base layer: replace &parang keys with simple parentheses and angle brackets.
  • Base layer: put parentheses in the middle and surround them in angle brackets.
  • Base layer: move Home/End/Page/Arrow keys to the outer corners of the keyboard.
  • Base layer: replace Fn keys with hexadecimal A-F, complementing the number row.
  • Number layer: move square brackets to thumb cluster since satellite keys have angle brackets now, as inherited from the base layer.
  • Number layer: swap inner and outer columns; adjust Gkj to reflect the Hands Down Promethium alpha layout and also for inward rolls from number entry to Vim commands per my identical independent experiment (a case of convergent evolution) on 2024-04-20 at https://discord.com/channels/877392805654306816/1193051200938049546/1231129912820371486
  • Number layer: move ABC to outer edge and DEF to inner edge of the home block.
  • Number layer: swap underscore and X to cluster X with F to optimize for "0xff".
  • Number layer: move NumLock to T3 key next to the Number layer access key on T5.
  • System layer: add CapsLock and NumLock; move ScrollLock to cluster all locking.
  • System layer: replace ScrollLock at left hand T5 with Application Context Menu.
  • System layer: move Linux Magic SysRq key to left thumb's nearest satellite key.
  • Function layer: remove CapsLock; use the new location on System and Base layers.
  • World layer: add new key for ©, ®, ™, ℠ symbols at traditional CapsLock position.
  • World layer: make modifiers sticky on right hand to avoid having to hold chords.
  • Emoji layer: make shift sticky on left thumb T4 to avoid the awkward thumb chord.

Typing:

  • Spacebar: enable retro-tap to support slow taps (standalone holds).
    Note: this change only applies to non-Enthium alpha layouts.

Timing:

  • Set THUMB_HOLDING_TYPE to "balanced" (undoing "tap-preferred" in v37)
    because thumbs have a different typing dynamic than the home row keys:
    the former are accustomed to holding (for layer access), whereas the
    latter are accustomed to tapping (for typing letters and punctuation)
    and are prone to rolling which causes misfires under "balanced" mode.
  • Set PLAIN_HOLDING_TYPE to follow INDEX_HOLDING_TYPE since they're
    both operated in the same manner by the index finger on home row keys.

Behaviors:

  • Add &crumb which is just like &thumb but has "retro-tap" enabled.
  • Move mouse keys (PR23) and per-key RGB (PR30) configuration from "Custom Defined Behaviors" section into "Custom device-tree" section in Glove80 Layout Editor.

v38

This release introduces an optional "Shift forgiveness" feature to ease home row shift tapping, restores the Symbol layer's layout as shown in my video tour and adjusts the Number layer to harmonize, adds a combo for sticky "Meh" modifiers on the base layer, improves the default timing, documentation & layer map diagrams, and much more! 💁

Changes ✨

Base layer
Symbol layer
Number layer

Config:

  • Add SHIFT_FORGIVENESS setting for retro-tap on home row shifts.
  • Add MACOS_USE_GACS setting to suppress the CAGS Cmd/Ctrl swap.

Layout:

  • Base layer: add combo for sticky "meh" modifiers (Alt + Ctrl + Shift) on right hand thumb cluster's T4+T5 keys.
  • Symbol layer: swap ~ and @ to restore v34 layout (exactly as shown in my symbol layer video tour on YouTube).
  • Number layer: put @ on bottom right corner, ~ on top left corner, ^ and $ on opposing sides of the home block with # in the middle. Since ~ is a typically prefix (approximation), it can go on the upper left index finger key. And ^ for exponentiation seems handy for the index finger column allows rolls onto digits higher than 1. And $ for dollar currency on the ring finger is often followed by lower digits, so you can get inward rolls for most numbers. And # is a prefix (number sign) that should be easily reachable with the longest middle finger and rollable onto all digits since it's in the middle of the home block. Finally @ is typically a suffix so it can go on the bottom right corner; this also mirrors its placement on the Symbol layer.
  • Bilateral layers: unmask traditional pinky shift keys for use with home row mods (especially retro-tap cancellation for home row shifts when SHIFT_FORGIVENESS is enabled).

Timing:

  • Change thumb holding type from "balanced" to "tap-preferred" to avoid inconsistent activation of Symbol layer when typing.
  • Increase middle and ring finger holding time by +10ms.
  • Increase CHORD_HOLDING_TIME to 150ms (by +50ms) for multi-mod chords to favor normal typing in the case of slow/lingering taps.
  • Increase STICKY_HOLDING_TIME to 200ms (by +50ms) for one-shot sticky shifts on traditional pinky finger shift keys. Thanks to ~helto on Discord for reporting this problem with release v37: https://discord.com/channels/877392805654306816/1193051200938049546/1285686375613730856

Documentation:

  • Add thumb cluster chords on base layer diagram.
  • Add layer template for easier user customization.
  • Add instructions for editing layer map diagrams, Emoji and World layers' characters, and more.

Timing:

  • Set holding time for home row mods according to finger strength:
    thumb=200ms, index=170ms, ring=200ms, middle=230ms, pinky=260ms.
  • Reduce HOMEY_STREAK_DECAY from 160ms down to 150ms
  • Reduce PLAIN_HOLDING_TIME to 200ms (not a modifier)
  • Reduce CHORD_HOLDING_TIME to 100ms faster multi-mod

  • OPERATING_SYSTEM: use character codes instead of integers: Linux is now 'L' instead of 1; macOS is 'M'; Windows is 'W'.
  • EMOJI_*_PRESET: use character codes instead of integers: Neutral is 'N' instead of 0, etc. Use neutral for defaults.
  • ENFORCE_BILATERAL: when disabled, fix build errors on user deletion of bilateral combinations layers such as LeftPinky.
  • Removed &cappy behavior in favor of separate &caps_word and CAPSLOCK (at the same spot on the Function layer) keys.
  • Removed #define ENABLE_KEY_REPEAT setting (it's now enabled by default) and fixed a corner case where it wasn't being applied to the index finger home row mods.
  • Home row mods: increase INDEX_STREAK_DECAY from 100ms to 150ms to avoid unwanted capitalization due to lingering holds on index shift keys: "start" => "stRT"
  • Home row mods: increase HOMEY_STREAK_DECAY from 230ms to 250ms to avoid unwanted mods activation when using Vim inside tmux in the terminal: "<ESC>w" => Alt+W
  • One-shot shifts: the Lower keys now produce sticky Shift modifiers when tapped. Thanks to ~kivarr on Discord for inspiring this feature.
  • Base layer: change order of thumb arrow keys to accommodate one-handed Up (shell history) and Right (shell completion) on the right hand. Thanks to ~ErrorCode on Discord for suggesting this.
  • Cursor layer: adjust Alt/Win+Tab to support macOS shortcuts (window switching is done by Cmd+Tab, not Alt+Tab, in macOS). Thanks to ~mrjamerjamer on Discord for reporting this issue.
  • Cursor layer: rearrange text selection and Find operators on left hand to match the arrangement of their counterparts in Number layer.
  • Number layer: rearrange Spacegram operators (I naturally seem to want backspace under the index finger); add text selection operators.
  • Symbol layer: swap ~ TILDE and @ AT, making the latter easier to reach and the former a bit more comfortable for typing ~/ home.
  • Number layer: swap ~ TILDE and @ AT, for better affinity with Symbol layer and to make ~ approximation feel a bit more outlandish.
  • Number layer: swap # HASH and $ DOLLAR, to mirror the !@#$ standard number row shifted symbol sequence as $#@! on the right hand.
  • Number layer: add optional #define USE_NUMPAD_KEYCODES setting to use KP_* numeric keypad keycodes instead of their standard versions. Thanks to ~ErrorCode on Discord for requesting this.
  • Number layer: overlay Alt+tab chord from Cursor layer to remove race condition on Cursor layer having to come first to trigger the Alt+Tab.
  • Engram layout: fix custom shifting for COMMA & DOT in bilateral combinations layers. Thanks to ~MajorAngst on Discord for reporting this issue.
  • Gaming layer: add T3+T6 combo to toggle the gaming layer, for quickly switching to the base layer to type a message and then back to gaming again. Thanks to ~jeremy on Discord for inspiring this feature.
  • Alpha layouts: fix build errors when user deletes alpha layout layers. Thanks to ~unclenick6765 on Discord for reporting this issue.
  • Alpha layouts: add ColemakDHm, Norman, Halmak layouts to use all 32 layers and welcome even more users to this keymap.

  • Remove #define ENABLE_MOUSE_KEYS setting in favor of automatic PR23 detection. Thanks to @comradecandy on Discord for guidance.
  • Add #define DIFFICULTY_LEVEL setting (like in a video game) to help newcomers grow accustomed to the timing thresholds. Thanks to @troy0820_ for inspiring this feature.
  • World layer: add native-OS shortcut localization (e.g. Alt-codes in Windows) with friendlier world.yaml representation.
  • Compose: add #define COMPOSE_KEY_LINUX setting to override the RALT default and COMPOSE_SEQ_*() functions for per-OS overrides.
  • Unicode: extract OS-specific behavior into #define UNICODE_SEQ_*() functions that you can redefine to override.
  • Cursor layer: add Mod+Tab shortcuts (Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Tab, and Win+Tab) on the thumb cluster to be accessed via chording. Thanks to @moosyresearch on Discord for suggesting these features.
  • Miryoku layers: use home row mods from the base layer (via #define <hand>_<finger>_MOD) instead of hard-coding them. Thanks to @ptonner on Discord for requesting this.
  • Miryoku layers: simplify home row mod reordering by extracting mods from base layer and alpha layouts into #define <finger>_FINGER_MOD and #define <hand>_<finger>_MOD settings, thereby eliminating the procedure for users to compile from source with JSON export + rake command. Moreover, macOS convention of Cmd/Ctrl is now honored by converting the default GACS order into CAGS order according to the #define OPERATING_SYSTEM setting. Thanks to @sudarshang on Discord for inspiring this feature.
  • Typing layer: use thumb cluster taps from base layer (via #define KEY_<hand>_<finger>) instead of hard-coding them. Thanks to @ptonner on Discord for requesting this.
  • Factory layer: add layer with factory default layout, toggled via Magic+T3 (furthest key in upper arc of thumb cluster). Thanks to @basnijholt on Discord for requesting this.
  • Plain keys: use homey settings instead of index finger settings (which are deliberately fast-acting for CamelCase typing).
  • Plain keys: enable retro-tap feature to convert standalone holds into taps. Thanks to @errorcode on Discord for suggesting this.
  • Number layer: add variation of Spacegram operators on the left hand that better suit me than a simple left/right mirror. Thanks to @arabshapt on Discord for requesting this.
  • Number layer: add hexadecimal digits and undo/redo with sticky shift. Thanks to @PoiXP on Discord for requesting this.
  • Emoji layer: add shifted (dual symbols) on home & upper rows; put my signature "🧑‍🚀🚀✨" pictogram on thumb cluster; etc.
  • Function layer: restore CapsLock on the left-most pinky home row key, to match layer diagram. Thanks to @greatst on Discord for reporting this.
  • Lower layer: move to bottom of tower (just the above Magic layer) so that home row mods can carry over to the Lower layer. Thanks to @between_names on Discord for reporting this issue.

2024-01-01_18-27
2024-01-01_18-34

  • Add optional #define ENFORCE_BILATERAL setting to enforce strict bilateral combinations for home row mods (disallow same-sided / one-handed home row mod + tap). This fixes the problem where left+right index finger mods would double up instead of tapping: for example, hold H (Shift) + tap A should produce capital A but previously they produced nothing since they doubled up together as Shift+Shift = Shift.
  • Add #define ENABLE_KEY_REPEAT setting as an optional feature to allow "tap then hold" key repetition, independently of the &plain repetiton keys introduced in v32.
  • Replace &homey_* and &shift_* with per-finger hold-taps, whose settings can be overridden individually or together as groups (inherit from top-level HOMEY*/CHORD* settings).
  • Enable hold-trigger-on-release for index finger shifts to allow chording in any direction (not only inward rolls). This makes the implementation of all home row mods uniform, so there are no special differences between fingers anymore by default (unless you explicitly configure them otherwise via per-finger settings). Rename SHIFT->INDEX accordingly.
  • Rename &engram_* behaviors to use actual ZMK keycode names.
  • Reduce typing streak decay period for index finger shifts from 130ms to 100ms.
  • World layer: add currency symbols for the top five most traded currencies.
  • Emoji layer: add Shift modifier for moon phases (normal=waning, shifted=waxing); make waning phases the default (unshifted) for left-to-right "progress bar" indicators.
  • Emoji layer: add weather, time of day, a few shifted faces, and change some of the faces on right hand upper row.
  • World layer: add corner quotes for East Asian (CJK) languages; split previous quotes cluster key into separate left/right keys.
  • Mac users: word selection macros on cursor layer are now fixed, thanks to @darricheng in #3 and #4.
  • Windows users: you'll need to install/run WinCompose to type Unicode characters now -- get it from https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose
  • Windows users: if you change the WinCompose hotkey (e.g. to F13), simply override UNICODE_SEQ_WINDOWS() accordingly:
    #define UNICODE_SEQ_WINDOWS(keystrokes) \
        &kp F13 keystrokes &kp ENTER
  • Replace ColemakDH layout with Workman to accommodate the top 5 most popular layouts.

Changes ✨

key repetition reinvented

  • Add &plain on index fingers' innermost home row keys for key repetition (which goes through the Typing layer).
  • Disable "tap then hold" key repetition for hold-taps because they slow down layer access; use &plain instead.
  • Restore &parang from v24: "Shift + Parenthesis = Angle bracket" dual-function keys in right hand's bottom row.
  • &space: disable retro-tap on spacebar to be consistent with other thumb keys; just be aware of lingering taps.
  • &cappy: change mod-morph to hold-tap (tap: CapsWord, hold: CapsLock); bind as &cappy CAPSLOCK 0 expression.
  • Add #define OPERATING_SYSTEM setting at top level; this sets the default value of #define UNICODE_TARGET_OS.
  • Cursor layer: use #define OPERATING_SYSTEM setting to support macOS shortcuts (which use LGUI instead of LCTRL).
  • System layer: add Linux Magic SysRq key on right thumb: hold it down and then type magic codes (such as "REISUB").
  • System layer: add support for macOS and Windows specific versions of operating system Lock, Sleep, and Power keys.
  • Mouse layer: upgrade to 2023-11-24 revision of PR23 beta firmware for mouse keys, according to these instructions.
  • Mouse layer: use LCLK, MCLK, RCLK instead of MB123 to avoid confusion with Xorg (where MB2 is middle button).
  • Mouse layer: rename MOUSE_MOVE_* settings to MOUSE_MOTION_* for cosmetic length alignment with MOUSE_SCROLL_*.
  • Base/symbol layer: support non "en-US" locales using "deprecated" ZMK key names via #define overrides for Glove80.
  • Magic layer: shield Magic+N alpha layout selectors from being rearranged when you reorder layers via drag & drop.
  • Function layer: remove CapsLock from left pinky home row outer column since it's already on base layer as &cappy.
  • Lower layer: add NumLock on right pinky home row outer column for better spatial locality with the numpad keys.
  • Reorder the World and Emoji layers so that they're clustered with their neighboring Miryoku layer access keys.
  • Timing: align hold times to 70ms (my sweet spot, same as before) and typing streaks to 30ms so that 70+30=100ms:
    • The faster you type (shorter hold time), the more protection (longer streak time) you need to avoid misfires.
    • The slower you type (longer hold time), the less protection (shorter streak time) you need to avoid misfires.

  • Alt layouts: add forgotten RALT (AltGr) home row modifier on right hand's ring finger.
  • Symbol/number/base layers: use LS() for shifted symbols to support non "en-US" locales.
  • World layer: add all-in-one Quotes key for curly, grave, angled, and plain quotation marks.
  • Number layer: use base layer affinity for ^ and |; symbol layer affinity for @; mnemonics for $ (curvy like 8), # (slant like 7), ! (tall like |), ~ (beyond largest digit).
  • Mouse layer: add ENABLE_MOUSE_KEYS setting to enable mouse keys, provided by PR23 beta firmware. This is backwards compatible with the v23.11 production firmware, such that turning off this setting (it's off by default --- by commenting out the #define statement) also disables the Custom expressions for mouse keys on the Mouse layer. As a result, I can ship the same Mouse layer to production firmware users and also PR23 beta firmware users simultaneously, without needing to maintain two separate keymaps.

Changes ✨

  • Added other popular layouts (QWERTY, Dvorak, and Colemak/DH) as "training wheels" to aid your transition to the full glory, at your convenience. Use Magic+NumberRow (1-5) to activate them dynamically, or bake them into the firmware as your default base layout using the drag & drop Layer reordering feature in the Glove80 Layout Editor.

  • Symbol layer: move at sign down to bottom left corner; it's too far to reach up, and kinda redundant with Shift+2 on base layer.
  • Symbol layer: spread ampersand and plus apart, putting square brackets in between. Thanks to @bryanforbes for design feedback.
  • Symbol layer: add space on right hand's home block for spacegrams, so you needn't let go of symbol layer key to access spacebar.
  • Symbol layer: put spacegram keys on right hand's home row, pushing up home row mods to the upper row (since I rarely use them).
