I’ve made some modifications to the layout of my Atreus using Chrysalis, I would like to print out a cheatsheet. I can’t figure out how do this in Chrysalis without taking a few screenshots and forming one myself. Is this possible?

There was some work done to export the keyboard visualization part of the sceen, that is a SVG drawing, but this has not been finished yet…

For now, I use a screenshot, but there is only one layer per image, so you need to seek in 4 keyboards 😢

That’s what I was afraid of, I’ll have to stitch some of those together and see what I can make!

The only think I can think of to make something better with not too much work to make something a little bit better, is a script to:

- Export the all layouts as json (or manually copy and paste from the import/export menu).

- Generate a JSON file on [Keyboard Layout Editor](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/) with positioning your keys. (here is one for the Atreus keyboardio version: [Untitled Keyboard Layout · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/eloyesp/5b3883f7abe3538825e8a98710c8d7d3))

- Build a script to read all those jsons generate a new one with all the data together.

- Import that json on [Keyboard Layout Editor](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/) to have the printable image with all the layouts merged. (that page have an export image functionality).

If you build the script, please share it 🙂

Alternately, anybody know where to find a blank version of the [papercraft Atreus](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0920/0728/files/atreus-papercraft-2020-03-15.pdf) that I could print and then fill in by hand?

In the keyboardio Atreus Box, send with the keyboard 🙂

You can find the [Blank PDF](https://github.com/keyboardio/Atreus-Legends/raw/master/layout_card/2020-05-01--atreus-layout-card-0001-blank.pdf) version and the original [SVG source](https://github.com/keyboardio/Atreus-Legends/raw/master/layout_card/2020-05-01--atreus-layout-card-0001.svg) on the dedicated repo :

SVG generated output would be great, but that is the fancy choice. Even a simpler ASCII art version of the keyboard layers would be great (if that is simpler to implement).
