This PR includes an initial layout for hexon38, a custom keyboard I've been working on.

Additionally, this PR includes an alternate implementation for handling MT() keys which does not rely on timeouts, etc. It appears to work.

I'd be very interested in feedback with regard to this implementation. I'm very new to the internals of QMK, so I'm not sure how easily it could be integrated for others to use (it currently exists in "user space", i.e. process_record_user()). Also, because I'm inexperienced, there may be ways of leveraging QMK functions to simplify my implementation, etc.

Cheers!

Here are a few gifs of some scenarios:

Setup:

  • k105 (ring finger in these gifs) is a dual-role key which is shift when held, f when tapped.
  • k106 (index finger in these gifs) is a single-role g key.

Scenario 1:

  • event 1: k105 down
    • event 1 is ambiguous
  • event 2: k105 up
    • event 1 is now disambiguated
    • emit f down
    • emit f up

Scenario 2:

  • event 1: k105 down
    • event 1 is ambiguous
  • event 2: k106 down
    • event 1 is still ambiguous
  • event 3: k105 up
    • event 1 is now disambiguated
    • emit f down
    • emit g down
    • emit f up
  • event 4: k106 up
    • emit g up

Scenario 3:

  • event 1: k105 down
    • event 1 is ambiguous
  • event 2: k106 down
    • event 1 is still ambiguous
  • event 3: k106 up
    • event 1 is now disambiguated
    • emit shift down
    • emit g down
    • emit g up
  • event 4: k105 up
    • emit shift up

Since this seems to be a personal/handwired board, could you move this to /keyboards/handwired?

You've opened this pull request from your fork's master branch. While this isn't a major issue now, later changes may result in merge conflicts if you try to file another PR because the commit history will have diverged between your master and QMK's. It is highly recommended for QMK development - regardless of what is being done or where - to keep your master updated, but NEVER commit to it. Instead, do all your changes in a branch (branches are basically free in Git) and issue PRs from your branches when you're developing.

There are instructions on how to keep your master updated here:

Best Practices: Your fork's master: Update Often, Commit Never

If you need any help with this just ask.

You do not need to close this PR. Further changes should still be pushed to your master branch, until this PR is merged.

Also, could you rename the readme file to be all lowercase?

This is to prevent cross-platform issues since some OS's are not great about handling this.

@cellularmitosis very interesting work! One quick question, will two mods pressed at the same time works as well? For example, ctrl+shift (as using dual-role keys 'L' and ';') and tab (as key combo 'Q'+'W'). So holding 'L' and ';', while pressing and releasing 'Q'+'W', then releasing "L" and ";" (might not at the exact same time).
