[Bug] Latest playground is broken on Keychron Q6 (at least). Keys messed up/swapped.

[richard-browne]

Describe the Bug

I built the latest on playground with make keychron/q6/ansi_encoder:keychron. After installing the firmware many keys were messed up. Control and fn are swapped, all keys on the asdf row are off by one (e.g. a key gives 's', s key gives 'd' etc).

I went back to an earlier commit and that worked fine.

Is your Q6 with knob or without knob? The knob version use make keychron/q6/ansi_encoder:keychron, or else use make keychron/q6/ansi:keychron

[richard-browne]

Yes I have the knob version. I built the latest on old_playground and that worked fine.

I wish Keychron would tag the commits corresponding to the official firmware releases.

"playground" is ambiguous. There are these branches:

• wireless_playground (probably the most current. Last commit/merge on 2024-05-21.)

• bluetooth_playground (probably more or less stale, though it has received more testing than 'wireless_playground')

• playground. Last commit 2024-01-27 (?).

• old_playground. Last commit 2023-04-22 (?).

Which one? The literal "playground"? It seems to be stale.

Though there is never an official unambiguous statement of any kind about (the state of) the branches.

Keychron should do better. There's no way to know what branch/commit to build for your keyboard. It's a mess.

Is there a reason not to use the official QMK repository? The raw HID commands? Support by Keychron's Via clone? Something else?

It was my impression the (wired-only) Q series was kept most up-to-date in the official QMK repository.
