As soon as you let go of the key, the layer is deactivated and you pop back out to the previous layer. When you apply this to a key, that same key must be set as `KC_TRNS` on the destination layer. Otherwise, you won't make it back to the original layer when you release the key (and you'll get a keycode sent). You can only switch to layers *above* your current layer. If you're on layer 0 and you use `MO(1)`, that will switch to layer 1 just fine. But if you include `MO(3)` on layer 5, that won't do anything for you -- because layer 3 is lower than layer 5 on the stack. -See README of [tmk_keyboard] for more. +`LT(layer, kc)` - momentary switch to *layer* when held, and *kc* when tapped.

This may damage your HHKB. -And my English writing is poor, I'm not sure I can convey my notions accurately. +We've added shortcuts to make common modifier/tap (mod-tap) mappings more compact: + * `CTL_T(kc)` - is LCTL when held and *kc* when tapped + * `SFT_T(kc)` - is LSFT when held and *kc* when tapped + * `ALT_T(kc)` - is LALT when held and *kc* when tapped + * `GUI_T(kc)` - is LGUI when held and *kc* when tapped + * `ALL_T(kc)` - is Hyper (all mods) when held and *kc* when tapped. To read more about what you can do with a Hyper key, see [this blog post by Brett Terpstra](http://brettterpstra.com/2012/12/08/a-useful-caps-lock-key/) -##Documents -See [doc/HHKB.txt](doc/HHKB.txt) and files under [doc/](doc/) for internal of HHKB and this controller. +### Temporarily setting the default layer +`DF(layer)` - sets default layer to *layer*. The default layer is the one at the "bottom" of the layer stack - the ultimate fallback layer. This currently does not persist over power loss. When you plug the keyboard back in, layer 0 will always be the default. It is theoretically possible to work around that, but that's not what `DF` does. -##Build Firmware & Program -See [this document](../../doc/build.md) first. +### Remember: These are just aliases -### Configuration -If your target is **HHKB JP** you need to set `HHKB_JP` build option in `Makefile` or use `Makefile.jp` instead of `Makefile`. +These functions work the same way that their `ACTION_*` functions do - they're just quick aliases. To dig into all of the tmk ACTION_* functions, please see the [TMK documentation](https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware/blob/master/tmk_core/doc/keymap.md#2-action). -If you use other than **TMK Alt Controller Board** set proper `MCU`, `BOOTLOADER_SIZE` and other build options in `Makefile` and `config.h`. At least PJRC Teensy requires changing `BOOTLOADER_SIZE` to 512. +Instead of using `FNx` when defining `ACTION_*` functions, you can use `F(x)` - the benefit here is being able to use more than 32 function actions (up to 4096), if you happen to need them. -### Build -Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to define your favorite layout yourself. Just `make` with `KEYMAP` option like: +## Macro shortcuts: Send a whole string when pressing just one key - $ make -f Makefile.<jp|pjrc|rn42> KEYMAP=(hasu|hhkb|spacefn|<name>) +Instead of using the `ACTION_MACRO` function, you can simply use `M(n)` to access macro *n* - *n* will get passed into the `action_get_macro` as the `id`, and you can use a switch statement to trigger it. This gets called on the keydown and keyup, so you'll need to use an if statement testing `record->event.pressed` (see keymap_default.c). -You can omit `-f` option when you use `Makefile`. `Makefile` is used for **Pro2 and Pro**, `Makefile.jp` fits for **JP** model and `Makefile.rn42` supports Bluetooth module **RN-42**. `Makefile.pjrc` uses **PJRC** as output protocol instead of **LUFA**. +```c +const macro_t *action_get_macro(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt) // this is the function signature -- just copy/paste it into your keymap file as it is. +{ + switch(id) { + case 0: // this would trigger when you hit a key mapped as M(0) + if (record->event.pressed) { + return MACRO( I(255), T(H), T(E), T(L), T(L), W(255), T(O), END ); // this sends the string 'hello' when the macro executes + } + break; + } + return MACRO_NONE; +}; +``` +A macro can include the following commands: + +* I() change interval of stroke in milliseconds. +* D() press key. +* U() release key. +* T() type key(press and release). +* W() wait (milliseconds). +* END end mark. + +So above you can see the stroke interval changed to 255ms between each keystroke, then a bunch of keys being typed, waits a while, then the macro ends. + +Note: Using macros to have your keyboard send passwords for you is a bad idea. + +### Additional keycode aliases for software-implemented layouts (Colemak, Dvorak, etc) + +Everything is assuming you're in Qwerty (in software) by default, but there is built-in support for using a Colemak or Dvorak layout by including this at the top of your keymap: + + #include "keymap_<layout>.h" + +Where <layout> is "colemak" or "dvorak". After including this line, you will get access to: + + * `CM_*` for all of the Colemak-equivalent characters + * `DV_*` for all of the Dvorak-equivalent characters + +These implementations assume you're using Colemak or Dvorak on your OS, not on your keyboard - this is referred to as a software-implemented layout. If your computer is in Qwerty and your keymap is in Colemak or Dvorak, this is referred to as a firmware-implemented layout, and you won't need these features. +To give an example, if you're using software-implemented Colemak, and want to get an `F`, you would use `CM_F` - `KC_F` under these same circumstances would result in `T`. -### Program -First, push reset button on board to start bootloader. +## Additional language support -This command programs the controller with [dfu-programmer] if the tool is installed and configured properly. +In `quantum/keymap_extras/`, you'll see various language files - these work the same way as the alternative layout ones do. Most are defined by their two letter country/language code followed by an underscore and a 4-letter abbreviation of its name. `FR_UGRV` which will result in a `รน` when using a software-implemented AZERTY layout. It's currently difficult to send such characters in just the firmware (but it's being worked on - see Unicode support). - $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name> dfu +## Unicode support -Or you can also use [FLIP] command to program. Also the tool should be installed and configured properly. FLIP GUI application is also available. +You can currently send 4 hex digits with your OS-specific modifier key (RALT for OSX with the "Unicode Hex Input" layout) - this is currently limited to supporting one OS at a time, and requires a recompile for switching. 8 digit hex codes are being worked on. The keycode function is `UC(n)`, where *n* is a 4 digit hexidecimal. Enable from the Makefile. - $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name> flip +## Other firmware shortcut keycodes -Use [Teensy Loader] if your controller is Teensy/Teensy++. +* `RESET` - puts the MCU in DFU mode for flashing new firmware (with `make dfu`) +* `DEBUG` - the firmware into debug mode - you'll need hid_listen to see things +* `BL_ON` - turns the backlight on +* `BL_OFF` - turns the backlight off +* `BL_<n>` - sets the backlight to level *n* +* `BL_INC` - increments the backlight level by one +* `BL_DEC` - decrements the backlight level by one +* `BL_TOGG` - toggles the backlight +* `BL_STEP` - steps through the backlight levels +Enable the backlight from the Makefile. -##Keymap -To define your own keymap create a file in the keymaps folder named `<name>.c` and see keymap document (you can find in top README.md) and existent keymap files. +## MIDI functionalty +This is still a WIP, but check out `quantum/keymap_midi.c` to see what's happening. Enable from the Makefile. -##Hardware -You have some options for hardware. Development boards with USB AVR family(ATMega32U4, AT90USB1286) like Teensy will work while MegaAVR with [V-USB] library is also cheaper option for DIY. +## Bluetooth functionality -###1. TMK Alt Controller Board -Design files are available at [Keyboard Controller Board for HHKB(KiCad project)](https://github.com/tmk/HHKB_controller) and see [Controller Distribution thread](http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=56494.0) if you get an assembled one. +This requires [some hardware changes](https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3psx0q/the_planck_keyboard_with_bluetooth_guide_and/?ref=search_posts), but can be enabled via the Makefile. The firmware will still output characters via USB, so be aware of this when charging via a computer. It would make sense to have a switch on the Bluefruit to turn it off at will. +## Building -###2. PJRC Teensy -See [this thread](http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57008.0). +Download or clone the whole firmware and navigate to the keyboard/planck folder. Once your dev env is setup, you'll be able to type `make` to generate your .hex - you can then use `make dfu` to program your PCB once you hit the reset button. +Depending on which keymap you would like to use, you will have to compile slightly differently. -###3. V-USB version -See [V-USB controller for HHKB](doc/V-USB.md). +### Default +To build with the default keymap, simply run `make`. +### Other Keymaps +Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to define your favorite layout yourself.
