Custom keyboard layout for my S60X, my first ever custom mechanical keyboard kit.
This layout was inspired in part by the HHKB line of keyboards and a quest to find the perfect ergonomic, logical layout for what I do. If you like this layout, please feel free to use it, modify it and share it.
This layer was inspired by the Satan Midi layout and gives access to basic MIDI notes. What I added were two layers of MIDI chords (major and minor triads) arranged in a circle of fifths pattern. Thanks to @fredizzimo for helping me with the code for these.
After figuring out how to code my MIDI chord function, I decided to dedicate a full layer to these chords. This chord layout was inspired by the Stradella Base system found on accordions. This layer is a tool for musical composition and songwriting. Originally, I had written the chord functions using the F(n) functions, but finally ended up using process_record_user and custom keycodes. I think this was a more efficient and elegant way of coding these.
This layer is really just for fun, and because I am a ham radio operator and morse code enthusiast. Hitting the alphanumerical keys in this layer will send a series of dits (.) and dahs (-) representing that character in morse code. This is all done through M(n). There are also a couple of characters that are sent through a shifted key on a regular layout, like @ or !. The same applies on this layer. And because I type using the Dvorak layout, this layer is also arranged in this manner.
This keyboard layout is still a work in progress and there are a couple of kinks left to iron out. But it is still very usable and the midi and morse code layers are lots of fun to use. Please feel free to use, share and improve all, or part of this layout.
