pones' QMK Userspace

Personal QMK keymaps, built as an external userspace. The main build is a Corne (crkbd/rev1) split keyboard with a programming-focused, home-row-mod layout.

The image above is generated from keymap.c with keymap-drawer and kept in sync by a pre-commit hook — see Keymap image.

Layout at a glance

Base layer uses home row mods and a 6-key thumb cluster where every thumb is a tap on one key and a hold into a layer. Split halves use EE_HANDS (handedness stored in EEPROM), so either half can take the USB cable.

Layers

Layer	Reached by	Purpose
_QWERTY	base	Letters + home-row mods
_NUMBER	hold Space	Numbers, F-keys, math operators
_SYMBOL	hold Tab	Symbols and brackets (tap-dance pairs)
_MOVE	hold Enter	Window management (herdr / KVM), Ctrl+Tab, media & volume
_NAV	hold Esc	Arrows, word-jump, Page Up/Down
_MOUSE	hold Backspace	Mouse movement, clicks, wheel; boot / debug / caps / insert

Home row mods

Hand	A / ;	S / L	D / K	F / J
Left	GUI	Alt	Ctrl	Shift
Right	GUI	Alt	Ctrl	Shift

Thumb cluster

Thumb	Tap	Hold
Left 1	Esc	_NAV
Left 2	Tab	_SYMBOL
Left 3	Space	_NUMBER
Right 1	Enter	_MOVE
Right 2	Backspace	_MOUSE
Right 3	Delete	—

Combos

Fast shortcuts without an extra hold:

Combo	Action
F + J	Caps Word

Build & flash

# Compile
qmk compile -kb crkbd/rev1 -km pones

# Flash (handedness already set): enter the bootloader with QK_BOOT —
# hold Backspace (opens _MOUSE) + tap P — then:
qmk flash -kb crkbd/rev1 -km pones

First-time setup, if this userspace isn't wired up yet:

qmk config user.overlay_dir="$(realpath .)"

Keymap image

docs/keymap.svg is generated from the current keymap.c:

bash gen-keymap-svg.sh          # needs: pipx install keymap-drawer

qmk c2json can't parse this keymap (it silently drops repeated #define'd keycodes), so parse_keymap.py expands the macros itself before handing off to keymap-drawer.

To regenerate automatically on every keymap change, enable the pre-commit hook once:

git config core.hooksPath .githooks
