v0.11.0: New drawing features

This release introduces a few major drawing features, automated ZMK workflow improvements and a major internal refactor to improve the project structure.

Features

• Multiple output columns!

  • Set the draw_config.n_columns variable to e.g. 3 to output with three layer columns

  

• Separate combo diagrams! For those of you who use thumb+alpha combos or steno-like keymaps, there is now the option
  to draw each combo in a separate minified layer diagram, showing the output key and the triggering key positions.

  • Set draw_config.separate_combo_diagrams: true to enable, and draw_config.combo_diagrams_scale to tweak the scaling factor (default 2)
  • Currently the layers property of the combos are ignored and not visualized, might be added in the future if there is a clean way to show it
  • Key corner radii are currently not scaled, so the keys will look rounder for higher scale factors

  

• Add key sides to drawn keys to give a keycap "profile" appearance, by @riccardoflp

  • draw_config.draw_key_sides: true to enable, tweak the appearance via draw_config.key_side_pars
  • Currently may not render well on Safari, looking into workarounds

  

Fixes

• Sort SVG glyph defs before writing to avoid non-deterministic output
• Tweak Tabler-related CSS to hide the outline boxes in Safari, by @bryanforbes
• Fix font size issue in hold/shifted fields due to draw_config.shrink_wide_legends, by inxi (at MoErgo Discord)
• Fix issue creating unnecessarily long dendrons for certain combo types

ZMK drawing workflow

• Add option to amend the last commit and also commit parse output YAML, by @minusfive
• Recursively checkout the repo to support git submodules like zmk-nodefree-config, by @shroomist

Misc

• Tweak classes for output SVG elements to allow for better customization via CSS
  • Assign key/combo classes to rect+text elements for layout keys/combos
  • Assign keypos-N/combopos-N classes to key/combo elts. to allow addressing via position index N
• Add a proper physical layout for slicemk_ergodox, by @xudongzheng
• Round SVG coordinate/size values for better readability and smaller output size, by @art4ride and me

Note that future updates might unfortunately include more CSS changes, such as converting to the descendants selector syntax, e.g. .held rect { ... } from rect.held { ... }. Thanks to the folks at LowProKB and MoErgo for helpful discussions.

I will also prioritize a better documentation organization in the short term, possibly hosted on Github pages.
