Isaac's DZ65RGBv3 Layout

This layout fit best people who mainly type in English but regularly need to type in Spanish (using an English keyboard in OS setting). There are also some Leader Key bindings/macros designed to work on both Mac and Windows OS.

Disclaimer

Mostly of the programming was made from Drootz, you can find the original repo here.

HIGH LEVEL DESCRIPTION

Dual function Capslock key

• Single tap to trigger the Leader Key
• Double tap to toggle Capslock ON/OFF

70+ useful Leader Key bindings and macros

• "Designed" to work on both Mac and Windows OS with an English keyboard OS setting
• Per key timing set at 425ms. Never a key sequence!
• 20+ Punctuation, ASCII, System shortcuts and macros

  • No need to switch languague input in the SO currently using
  • Preserve Capslock if enabled
• Text "selection" shortcuts

Less RGB effects due shortage of memory

In total of 10+ lighting effects fully customizable using the _FN layer with hue, saturation, brightness and speed.

• Matrix Splash => Full gradient & value pulse away from a single key hit then fades value out
• Solid Splash => Hue & value pulse away from a single key hit then fades value out
• Solid Color => Static single hue, no speed support

LED indicators and animations

• White led when Capslock toggle ON
• White LED indicator in the layer _FN for available keys to use (i.e media controls or RGB customization)
• Leader Key LED indicator:
  • Persistent 50% dimmed under-glow on top right corner key
  • Light up at 100% for the duration of the Leader Key timeout when activated
  • Hue, saturation and brightness can be globally adjusted with the RGB matrix settings on layer _FN

2 Layers

• _MAIN: Default layer
• _FN: Functions & settings layer:
  • F Keys (F1...F12) on number row
  • RGB matrix & animation settings
  • Media & volume control

LAYERS

• Press down and hold the MO(_FN) key to access the _FN layer
• Double tap on the Capslock key to toggle Capslock ON/OFF
• _TRNS (∇ symbol) keys use the next lowest non-transparent key (on lower layers)
• N/A keys are ignored (nothing happens)

Layer 1: _MAIN

Layer 2: _FN

The Leader Key on this layout is triggered by tapping the Capslock key once. Once triggered, we have 450ms between each key press to type any one of the sequences listed below. All sequences are designed to work on both Mac and Windows with an English keyboard OS setting.

STEP BY STEP FLASH INSTRUCTIONS

1. In case it is required to modify the layout you need to paste all the files into the qmk_firmware folder and replace all the files in that are inside the drootz' original repo that is in: qmk_firmware\keyboards\dztech\dz65rgb\keymaps\drootz

2. Build the Firmware. Run build command in directory: make dztech/dz65rgb/v3:drootz

   • Approximate firmware size: 27302/28672 (95%, 1370 bytes free) (need to check after the addition of the spanish accents and special characters)

3. Flash the Firmware:

   • Open QMK Toolbox Application
   • Open firmware file: dztech_dz65rgb_v2_drootz.hex
   • Unplug keyboard USB, and hold the ESC key while plugging it back in
   • Check that QMK Toolbox displays: *** DFU device connected.
   • Hit the flash button
   • Wait until the QMK Toolbox prompts: Eject Device Now
   • Enjoy!

TODO List

• Add Spanish accent with the LDR and each vocal
• Add the ñ "special" letter
• Reduce the memory used in the code
