# Signynt's Keymap: 'Sigma-Squared'
|
|
|
|
Sigma Squared is an adaptation & modification of the Layout [Miryoku](https://github.com/manna-harbour/qmk_firmware/blob/miryoku/users/manna-harbour_miryoku/miryoku.org#miryoku-) by *manna-harbour*
|
|
|
|
*manna-harbour* lays out the general principles of the layout as follows:
|
|
|
|
- Use layers instead of reaching.
|
|
- Use both hands instead of contortions.
|
|
- Use the home positions as much as possible.
|
|
- Make full use of the thumbs.
|
|
- Avoid unnecessary complication.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sigma Squared modifies on **Miryoku** in the following ways:
|
|
|
|
- Added the Mods to the outer most columns to be easily accessed while typing with the pinkies
|
|
- Extended the **NUMBER** layer to include symbols on the right side to allow calcualtion to be typed more easily without haveing to move between layers
|
|
- Added a **GAME** layer to be used for gaming that emulates a more standard keyboard that most games expect
|
|
- moves *left shift* and *left ctrl* down
|
|
- *esc* moved to top left
|
|
- gives access to a **SECOND GAME** layer that contains an Fn row as well as number and arrow keys right under your left fingers
|
|
- Added Shortcuts to the bottom row to reduce the amount of keycombos needed to use commonly needed features
|
|
- Mission Control, Screenshot, Cycling Apps & Windows
|
|
- Added LED indicators to display what layer is currently active (only active while RGB is turned on)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Flashing
|
|
|
|
- to directly flash to board:
|
|
|
|
`qmk flash -kb bm40hsrgb -km signynt`
|
|
|
|
- to only compile:
|
|
|
|
`qmk compile -kb bm40hsrgb -km signynt`

# Layout
|
|
|
|
## BASE
|
|
|
|
Tap the layer keys to use the black legends, hold them to activate the corresponding layer.
|
|
|
|
The Shortcut keys can be modified to suit your needs, or change them in your OS to match the keys.
|
|
|
|
If you are using MacOS I recommend swapping your *Ctrl* and *Cmd* keys in system preferences
|
|
|
|
The Music Control key can be pressed once to pause and be pressed twice in rapid succession to skip to the next song.
|
|
|
|
The Screenshot Key takes a screenshot to the clipboard if pressed once, if double tapped it will take a screenshot to be saved to the desktop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## NAVIGATION
|
|
|
|
Provides access to all essential navigation keys, comfortably under your home row. Modifiers remain identical to **BASE** layer to be used for navigating lines and words.
|
|
|
|
*Game Layer* key takes you to the **GAME** layer. *(duh)*
|
|
|
|
Bottom right keys are used to swap between Virtual Desktops. You might need to modify these to fit your OS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## MEDIA
|
|
|
|
Provides access to all basic media keys, emulating the arrow keys on the home row.
|
|
|
|
Also gives access to RGB controls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## NUMBER
|
|
|
|
Numbers are arranged in a numpad layout beneath home row, with 0 being positioned under the thumb resting position. Layer includes all most commonly needed symbols to reduce amount of layer switching needed to type longer calculations.
|
|
|
|
Top right key changed to *Back Space* so corrections can be made without leaving layer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## SYMBOL
|
|
|
|
Symbols are positioned over respective numbers from the **NUMBER** layer.
|
|
|
|
Mouse keys are positioned similarly under the home row corresponding to the arrow keys.
|
|
|
|
Also includes *Back Space* key for corrections.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Fn
|
|
|
|
Fn keys are arranged in the same layout as the numbers, with *F10* to *F12* added to the left
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## GAME
|
|
|
|
Somewhat emulates a regular layout needed for gaming. Top right key LED will indicate that you are on the **GAME** layer, and can be pressed to exit it. Holding one of the *Second Game* keys will give you access to **SECOND GAME**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## SECOND GAME
|
|
|
|
Top right key will turn red to indicate you are in the layer
