This userspace showcases my personal journey with QMK keyboards and aims to simplify additional development, reduce code duplication, and maintain a consistent experience across my current keyboards. My original userspace has been archived because I wanted to take the time to grasp how what I was doing worked -- rather than copy/pasta and blind luck.
Some keyboard specific code is stored here because it's contextually relevant. It may be somewhat pedantic, but an effort has been made to wrap this code with preprocessor checks. i.e. #if (defined(KEYBOARD_planck_ez))
.
An immediate part of my love for QMK was it's ability to differentiate between holds and presses to a level where you can apply modifiers when a normal alpha code is held. This feature was the single-most health related improvement to adopting QMK, in my opinion.
Beloved as it may be it comes with some baggage; shifted keycodes will be applied as their unshifted counterparts. I've worked around this in the past but the solution this time is a close adoption of the symbol layer inspired by the Neo keyboard.
There is also a problem with relying on SFT_T() for all of your shifting needs because if you attempt to swap which fingers are holding it and don't release the first before pressing the second, shift won't register anymore. This could probably be fixed but it discourages typing in all caps because it becomes too tedious. However, most layers do have a dedicated shift key to counteract this when necessary.
