moonlander-layout

My moonlander keyboard layout. There are 7 layers currently.

Notes

• Auto shift is turned on.

Layers

0. Default QWERTY layout
   • Notes
     • Left and right shift keys use the Space Cadet option. Holding the key acts as a shift, tapping works as the corresponding round bracket.
     • I use the 3 function keys on the bottom left a lot, the F5 key has the Ctrl modifier.
     • Del key exists on this layer, and also on the mod layer.
     • SysRq is a combo, on tap it is Print Screen, hold activates the mod layer.
     • The right trigger key moves to layer 1 "Number pad".
1. Number pad and LED control
   • Notes
     • This layer may change, some of the arithmetic keys are odd.
     • Basic LED color controls on this layer, mostly just for demos. May remove them in the future.
     • Esc key goes directly back to layer 0.
2. Mouse control
   • Notes
     • Mouse movement and button keys. Haven't used this as it isn't as precise as I need. May remove in the future.
     • Esc key goes directly back to layer 0.
3. Workman layout
   • Notes
     • Slowly switching to this layout, will swap with QWERTY at some point.
     • Esc key goes directly back to layer 0.
4. Colemak layout
   • Notes
     • This is here as a trial, workman seems better for now.
     • Esc key goes directly back to layer 0.
5. Dvorak layout
   • Notes
     • This is here as a trial, workman seems better for now.
     • Esc key goes directly back to layer 0.
6. Modifiers, shortcuts, and Codium commands
   • Notes
     • Quick links to the different layers. It is a bit awkward to hit the shortcuts on the left hand side unless using your thumb on the modifier key.
     • Left hand is for shortcuts to apps that I regularly open but don't always want running constantly.
     • F5 here is without the Ctrl modifier.
     • Orange highlighted keys are for Codium (VSCode).
     • Reset is for resetting the keyboard when flashing new layouts.
     • Sleep is to put the computer to sleep.
     • The up and down arrow keys on this layer have the Alt modifier.
     • Esc key goes directly back to layer 0.

Building your layout from source (from the Oryx export)

• Use the documentation to set up your environment for building your firmware.
• Build your layout against our QMK fork instead of qmk/qmk_firmware. This is what Oryx (the graphical configurator) uses, so it's guaranteed to work.
• Create a folder with a simple name (no spaces!) for your layout inside the qmk_firmware/keyboards/planck/keymaps/ folder.
• Copy the contents of the *_source folder (in the .zip you downloaded from Oryx) into this folder.
• Make sure you've set up your environment per the QMK docs so compilation would actually work.
• From your shell, make sure your working directory is qmk*firmware, then enter the command make planck/ez:_layout_, substituting the name of the folder you created for "layout".
• You can always get back to your original layout from Oryx.
