Yeah, it's pretty neat! There are some downsides though, mainly that there does not seem to be a way to configure the delay/timeout for detecting when it is a tap vs. a full press down. Other boards/software packages offer more support but I am hoping that VIA will support some of this some more in the future.
Great video thanks to you, I started to use home row mods, and now I am getting into config combos and tap dance for my nuphy I think if you get this deep with configuration, you could start code in or own keymap in qmk instead of using via
Yeah, that also works. This one in particular is configurable in Macs operating system as well as it allows you to reassign the caps key to ESC or a modifier of you choise.
Double tap is available in QMK, which you should definitely get into to customize your board. If you’re already looking at keycodes, then QMK is a small additional step. Not available on Nuphy I think because it’s Bluetooth, but looks like you got some other boards laying around that might be wired.
Is there a simple guide where I could read more about this? Every time I look around I keep missing the obvious quickstart it feels like. j Note that the nuphy board can also be wired, so that should work I think.
Great video! Suggest exporting your config file to github. Keyboards are not equal and I have frozen mine and had to restore from backup. PS building your own keyboard is very satisfying
If you check the shownotes you will see my file. You can also download it yourself if you want to replicate it. And yeah, mine also totally got bricked for no clear reason at some point. So backups can make a bunch of sense.
Probably you figure it out already, but the double tap function is called tap dance, there is also combos when you press 2 or 3 keys together it will do whatever is programmed, I usually do copy, paste...., but i'm not sure how either work with via.
@@calmcode-io yes, I use vial and you can do preety much everyting. I started with 65% keyboards and yesterday finished building the sweep, I think is either 40% or 34%, soon will have only one key doing morse code 😆. Thanks for your videos, they are very infomative.
It remains a balance, but something about holding it down did feel more natural to me. Part of this is that I do tend to use the mouse layer a fair bit and this can't be done nicely with a one-shot.
Just picked up Air60v2 and really loving it! Is there a way to map Cmd + Esc to be Cmd + `? Use case: switch app windows without having to hold Fn. Can't seem to find a way to do it with Via. Thank you!
@@calmcode-io alternatively an option could be to set Esc as Esc when long pressed and ` when short pressed. Doesn't seem to be an option in VIA though?
@@calmcode-io it's called tap dance, and it should be somewhere in VIA (can't really check, because my keyboard doesnt support via lol), but if it's not, then you could try VIAL, its very cool and has this feature in it, as well as everything VIA features as far as i know.
Thanks for the key codes, I am giving the home row mods a go but typing "as" is slower. I Think I am holding down the a as I start typing the s. Assuming there is a setting to adjust the delay before the hold is active?
Hello, you already find a better solution for the hrm? I have a lot of accidental activation of the hrm on my keychron. Qmk web also seems like have no option to adjust the timeout.
Afraid not. You could consider learning QMK to see if there something custom there. But alternatively you may want to investigate other boards on ebay. In particular the devices from ZSA all have amazing software.
It's installed on the keyboard not the OS so will work with anything that takes a keyboard input. You just need a programmable keyboard. Downside is if you have a laptop and need to switch between the inbuilt keyboard and your programmable one.
