# plattfot's keymap for [Kyria](https://github.com/splitkb/kyria)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
![Keyboard](https://i.imgur.com/Pvsm973l.jpg)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
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.

|

|
Setup for typing in both English and Swedish (hence the Å in the top
|
|||
|
right corner, which is just [ on an US layout).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Modifiers are mostly on the left hand, to make it comfortable when
|
|||
|
require keyboard and mouse. For example working in a DCC (Digital
|
|||
|
Content Creation tool) like [Houdini](https://www.sidefx.com/) and
|
|||
|
[Maya](https://www.autodesk.com/products/maya/overview).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Notable features on this layer
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Left rotary encoder
|
|||
|
- Press: play/pause
|
|||
|
- Rotate: Volume control
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Right rotary encoder
|
|||
|
- Press: Call keybinding that toggles between two recent workspaces.
|
|||
|
For [sway](https://swaywm.org/) that is `workspace
|
|||
|
back_and_forth`
|
|||
|
- 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. The right rotary encoder also
|
|||
|
helps jumping back and forth between two workspaces by just pressing
|
|||
|
down my right palm.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The double tap key, which 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 repeat the next key twice. Reason for this is
|
|||
|
that I found it a bit awkward to hold down the lower key when I need
|
|||
|
to type a symbol twice. Which happens a lot when programming or
|
|||
|
running commands on the command line. Does not save me any key presses
|
|||
|
but more comfortable to type double keys, for example `--` and `&&`.
|
|||

|||

```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Contains most of the symbols, only exceptions are those that are
|
|||
|
already on the default US base layer i.e. quotes, punctuation and
|
|||
|
forward slash.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Notable features on this layer
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Left rotary encoder
|
|||
|
- Press: mute
|
|||
|
- Rotate: Skip next/previous song
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The left letter bottom row contains macros to quickly type the
|
|||
|
different types of brackets and move the cursor to be inside. For
|
|||
|
example lower+c will type `()←`, where `←` is pressing the left arrow.
|
|||
|
Same principle for the `''` macro. Really nice to have when
|
|||
|
programming, and it is editor agnostic.

|

|
|

|
Access to the functional keys, which I mostly use to run `emacs`
|
|||
|
compilation mode.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Scroll Lock is used to toggle between English and Swedish.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Notable features on this layer
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Right rotary encoder
|
|||
|
- Press: Right Alt, rarely use this, but it is needed for the Swedish
|
|||
|
layout to type some symbols. But I find I mostly switch back
|
|||
|
to the English layout if I need to type symbols. Might change
|
|||
|
this in the future.
|
|||
|
- Rotate: Moving between tabs in the browser, as described in this
|
|||
|
[blog post](https://docs.splitkb.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010513760-How-can-I-use-a-rotary-encoder-).

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Access to the number as well as 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.
