Is there an easy way to remap keys on the Model 01? I just received my PVT model, and right now the choices for the thumb keys are driving me to frustration. I’d like to move around where shift, cmd, etc are placed.

[image] ToyKeeper: Oh, um, sorry, no harm meant. I’m new here, but I saw that your forum account has been around a while, and that you have an active account on github with stars on some keyboardio projects… and assumed you were already involved with this sort of thing. Sorry about my annoya…

[image] merlin: how is using xmodmap not just another “cheap reverse-shift hack”? The keyboard sends scancodes, key number 27 down and key number 52 up, not actual glyphs. Then the OS converts those scancodes into logical events. OSes have an archaic concept that 9 and ( are related in the …

…and that works fine, as long as you only ever use one computer, with one OS, and no virtual machines. But if you use the same keyboard with multiple machines, different OS’s, and setup up new ones occasionally, it’s a ridiculous burden to have to configure the input software over and over. What’s …

[image] merlin: What’s really stupid is that the OS still reads scancodes from the keyboard(s), instead of the keyboard simply sending characters to the OS. It only works that way for historical reasons, and has resulted in the godawful mess that we have to deal with today. The real fix isn’t me…

[image] jesse: As I understand it, that’s actually part of what @algernon is volunteering on with the QMK and InputClub folks on the hid-io project. I’m hopeful that it turns out useful, but getting something that will work well across multiple platforms and for apps that listen for key events i…

[image] merlin: I want to configure my keyboard so that pressing a key without modifiers will send one keycode (let’s call it alpha), and pressing the same key with shift held down will produce another keycode (beta). In general, alpha and beta might be modified by a (virtual) shift. This would …

You make that sound easy but what is tweaking and reflashing? I learned how to reprogram my Ergodox, so I’m sure I can manage this once i figure it out but i need a left space key. I just need to know where to start I guess

Okay, a bit more work than the Erogodox but I see how it works, I don’t see the Model 01 there though in Examples. I love the feel of this keyboard.

Okay, I think I see. I have a bit more to do here.
