@noroadsleft's Userspace

This directory holds the code that's the same for every keyboard I use in QMK, which is currently:

  • kc60
  • kbdfans/kbd75/rev1
  • coseyfannitutti/discipline

Macro Features and Custom Keycodes

VRSN

Outputs a string that tells me the Git commit from which my flashed firmware was built. Looks something like:

kc60:noroadsleft @ 0.6.326-6-gae6d7b-dirty

Git Macros

Some frequently used Git commands.

Keycode Output Output with Shift
G_PUSH git push origin git push origin
G_FTCH git fetch upstream git pull upstream
G_BRCH master $(git branch-name)

$(git branch-name) is an alias for git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD, which normally returns the name of the current branch.

"Macro Mode" Macros and Customized Keycodes

Some of my macros and keycodes do different things depending on the value of the macroMode variable, which is toggled between 0 and 1 by the M_MDSWP custom keycode.1 This is mainly at attempt to make various shortcuts use the same physical key combinations between Windows/Linux and MacOS (which I use at home and work, respectively).

Keycode macroMode == 0 macroMode == 1 macroMode == 1 with Shift
M_SALL Ctrl+A Cmd+A Cmd+A
M_UNDO Ctrl+Z Cmd+Z Cmd+Shift+Z
M_CUT Ctrl+X Cmd+X Cmd+X
M_COPY Ctrl+C Cmd+C Cmd+C
M_PASTE Ctrl+V Cmd+V Cmd+Shift+Opt+V
KC_PSCR KC_PSCR Cmd+Shift+3 Cmd+Shift+3
KC_HOME KC_HOME Cmd+Left Cmd+Left
KC_END KC_END Cmd+Right Cmd+Right

Emulated Non-US Backslash

Sometimes I type in languages from countries that use ISO layout, but my keyboards are all ANSI layout, so I have one key fewer than necessary.

This macro simulates the Non-US Backslash key if I hold Right Alt and tap the key to the right of Left Shift.

Requires defining ANSI_NUBS_ROW and ANSI_NUBS_COL in config.h at the keymap level.2

Emulated Numeric Keypad

If I hold the Right Alt key, the number row (KC_1 through KC_0) will output numpad keycodes instead of number row keycodes, enabling quicker access to characters like ™ and °.

Emulated Extended Function Keys

Similar to the emulated numpad, if I hold the Right Alt key with the Fn key, the function row (KC_F1 through KC_F12) will output keycodes KC_F13 throught KC_F24.
