The `keymap.c` file will contain +the exact changes. The diagrams in this README shows the highlights of the +changes from the default mappings. + +I also decided to change all calls to `persistent_default_layer_set()` to +`default_layer_set()` since this is my personal perference. + +## Macros +``` +#define ALT_TAB M(KC_ALT_TAB) +``` + +## Base Layers (Qwerty/Colemak/Dvorak) +These base layers are mostly the same as the default mappings. The interesting +changes are shown below. + +- The `Ctrl/Esc`, will emit an `Escape` when tapped, and act as a `Control` key when held, +- `GUI/;` as `;` and `GUI`, +- `Alt/"` as `"` and `Alt`, +- `Sft/Ent` as `Enter` and `Shift`, and +- `Hyper/Tab` as `Tab` and `Hyper` + +A `TODO` item is to see if it can also act as a `CapsLock` when double-tapped. +The arrow keys, which have been moved to the +[TouchCursor](http://martin-stone.github.io/touchcursor/) layer, have been +replaced with the Media keys as shown. The `MC/kc` key activates the +`MouseCursor` layer when held, and emits the corresponding `kc` for its layer, +when tapped. +``` + ,---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-------------. + |Hyper/Tab| Q | W | E | R | T | Y | U | I | O | P | Bksp | + |---------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`-------------| + | Ctrl/Esc | A | S | MC/D | F | G | H | J | K | L |GUI/; | Alt/" | + |----------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------------| + | Shift | Z | X | C | V | B | N | M | , | . | / | Sft/Ent | + |-----------`------`------`------`------`-----'-------`------`------`------`------`-----------| + | Alt | GUI | Lower | TC/Space | TC/Space | Raise | Vol+ | Play | + `--------+---------+---------+------^^^-------+-----^^^--------+---------+---------+---------' +``` + +## Lower Layer (Symbols and Function Keys) +The symbols and functions keys are essentially the same as the default mapping. +The most notable changes are that the symbol keys from the `RAISE` layer have +been moved here.

All of the default TouchCursor keymappings for the right hand +are represented below. My personalizations include all of the keys shown for +the left hand. Having the `Alt` and `Shift` keys (as well as the `Control` key +from the base layers) readily accessible from the home row allows quick word +jumps and highlighting when used in conjunction with the arrow keys. The +`Alt-Tab` macro is not only useful under Windows, but also under Mac when used +with alternative switchers like [HyperSwitch](https://bahoom.com/hyperswitch). +The `Cmd-Tab` and `Ctrl-Tab` sequences are duplicated for easy access while in +this layer. The `KC_UNDO, KC_CUT, KC_COPY, KC_PASTE, KC_FIND,` and `KC_AGAIN` +keycodes do not seem to work. There are macros in place that'll "automatically" +choose the correct version (`Cmd-Tab` vs. `Alt-Tab`, `Cmd-C` vs. `Ctrl-C`, +etc.) depending on which layout you've currently selected (`AG_NORM` or +`AG_SWAP`) in the `_ADJUST` layer. The `Desk_L` and `Desk_R` macros are what I +use to switch between Virtual Desktops Left/Right. The `Tab_C`, `Tab_N` and +`Tab_R` are for "Close Tab," "New Tab" and "Reopen Closed Tab" for apps such as +Google Chrome. +``` + ,---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-------------. + | AltTab |CmdTab|CtlTab| GUI |Shift | ~ |Insert| Home | Up | End | Bksp | | + |---------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`-------------| + | | Alt |Space |Tab_C | Find |Again | PgUp | Left | Down |Right |Desk_L| Desk_R | + |----------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------------| + | | Undo | Cut | Copy |Paste | ` | PgDn | Del |Tab_N |Tab_R |iTerm2| | + |-----------`------`------`------`------`-----'-------`------`------`------`------`-----------| + | | | | | | | | | + `--------+---------+---------+------^^^-------+-----^^^--------+---------+---------+---------' +``` + +## Mouse Layer +The Mouse layer, closely mimics the layout/behaviour of the TouchCursor layer. +The `D` key (on QWERTY) is used to activate this layer. All 16 keycodes for the +mouse from the `doc/keycode.txt` file are represented, and logically located, +IMHO. The left and right click buttons are duplicated; on the right hand side, +for a quick click here and there, and again on the left hand side for when the +buttons need to be held for dragging things or highlighting text, thus allowing +the right hand to be free to use the up/down/left/right actions. +``` + ,---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-------------. + | | |ACCL0 | | | | |WHL_L | Up |WHL_R | BTN2 | | + |---------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`-------------| + | |ACCL2 | BTN2 | | BTN1 |ACCL1 |WHL_Up| Left | Down |Right | BTN4 | BTN5 | + |----------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------`------------| + | | | | | BTN3 | |WHL_Dn| BTN1 | | | BTN3 | | + |-----------`------`------`------`------`-----'-------`------`------`------`------`-----------| + | | | | | | | | | + `--------+---------+---------+------^^^-------+-----^^^--------+---------+---------+---------' +``` |
