The short version: … at scale: Multiple types (QMK, ZMK, ), different forks, different branches, different versions Convenient development … And yes, it takes up more disk space and initial bandwidth cost, but XXXX. Original vs. own custom changes Original …

The short version: A few lines of Python code using the Matplotlib library will convert between HSV and RGB colour values. An online tool is not required. For example, the open source keyboard firmware QMK tends to use HSV values …

Today, I discovered that mouse actions in Via macros are actually supported! But a bug in Via’s GUI makes it impossible to enter them… So how is it possible? By using the Via clone (but only if using a Keychron …
Mouse actions are actually supported in Via macros, just not in Via’s GUI Read more »
RSS feeds for various places, e.g., Reddit, GitHub, YouTube, Discourse, WordPress, etc. do exist, but they are hard to discover. There usually isn’t an explicit feed link. One way to use them is in Thunderbird‘s RSS reader. Though it is …
The short version: It is possible to change the number of Via and Vial macros and change the space for them to be essentially unlimited. Unfortunately, there are many different ways of achieving it, depending on the particular keyboard, the …

The short version: A wireless QMK-based Keychron keyboard can provide the information about the battery state, e.g. “81%”, to the operating system, just like, for example, a wireless computer mouse. Though the operating system may have to be configured for …
Keychron now has a Via clone: Keychron Launcher Though macro recording is practically completely broken. Support for Hall effect keyboards For the Kickstarter Keychron model Q1 HE, three activation point profiles can be defined.
The idea is to capture the Via macro execution in function dynamic_keymap_macro_send() (in file quantum/dynamic_keymap.c) and instead feed the information into an existing QMK macro engine that has cancelling macros and repeating macros as features. Introduction It is relatively straightforward …

The divergence of QMK software development can be confusing, but there is a systematic way to find which branch a particular feature or folder is in (instead of manually switch to each branch and manually look for the information). Example: …

The short version: A relatively simple hack enables mouse actions in Via. Seldomly used keycodes, e.g., for F23 and F24, accepted by Via, are converted to the keycodes for left click and right click just before macro execution. This breaks …
