## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
Follow the [getting started](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs_getting_started) docs to install [QMK Firmware](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/)
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Clone the keymaps
|
||||
# Clone the userspace
|
||||
git clone https://git.sajenim.dev/jasmine/qmk_userspace.git
|
||||
|
||||
# Setup external userspace
|
||||
|
||||
# Configure QMK to use external userspace
|
||||
qmk config user.overlay_dir="$(realpath qmk_userspace)"
|
||||
|
||||
# Compile the firmware
|
||||
qmk compile -kb <keyboard> -km <keymap>
|
||||
# Compile for Ferris Sweep
|
||||
qmk compile -kb ferris/sweep -km sajenim
|
||||
|
||||
# Flash to keyboard (enter bootloader mode first)
|
||||
qmk flash -kb ferris/sweep -km sajenim
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## About
|
||||
|
||||
This is a custom QMK userspace for the Ferris Sweep keyboard, featuring the **[Canary layout](https://github.com/Apsu/Canary)** - a collaborative design by the Alternate Keyboard Layout (AKL) community with over 55% rolling trigrams for a flowy typing feel. The keymap includes extensive customizations for improved typing efficiency, emphasizing minimal finger movement through home row mods, combos, and intelligent repeat keys.
|
||||
|
||||
### Design Philosophy
|
||||
- **Comfort first**: All frequently used keys accessible without leaving home position
|
||||
- **Smart automation**: Let the keyboard handle common patterns (repeat key, magic completions, autocorrect)
|
||||
- **Minimal layers**: 5 carefully designed layers (CANARY, NAV, NUM, SYM, FUN) with logical access patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
### Autocorrect
|
||||
Automatically fixes common typing mistakes in real-time. Maintains a dictionary of frequently mistyped words and corrects them as you type, reducing the need for manual backspacing and retyping.
|
||||
|
||||
### Combos
|
||||
Press multiple keys simultaneously to output different characters or trigger actions. Enables access to numbers, symbols, and commands without leaving the home position, reducing finger travel and improving typing efficiency.
|
||||
|
||||
### Home Row Mods
|
||||
Modifier keys (Alt, Shift, GUI, Ctrl) placed on the home row as dual-function keys. Tap for the letter, hold for the modifier. Eliminates the need to reach for traditional modifier positions, reducing hand movement and strain.
|
||||
|
||||
### Repeat / Magic Keys
|
||||
Two intelligent repeat mechanisms on the thumb keys:
|
||||
- **Repeat Key** - Repeats the last keystroke with context-aware enhancements for common trigrams and word briefs
|
||||
- **Magic Key** - Context-aware completions based on the previous key. Reduces same-finger bigrams and enables common word completions
|
||||
|
||||
See [**magic sturdy**](https://github.com/Ikcelaks/keyboard_layouts/blob/main/magic_sturdy/magic_sturdy.md) for the inspiration behind the magic key implementation.

|
||||
### Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
**Combos for Numbers:**
|
||||
Press home row + upper row simultaneously for vertical number access:
|
||||
- `L + R` → 2
|
||||
- `Y + S` → 3
|
||||
- `P + T` → 4
|
||||
|
||||
**Magic Key Completions:**
|
||||
Type a letter, then press the Magic key (right thumb):
|
||||
- `w` + Magic → `which`
|
||||
- `b` + Magic → `efore`
|
||||
- `+` + Magic → `=` (creates `+=`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Repeat Key Enhancements:**
|
||||
Tap a key twice using the Repeat key (left thumb):
|
||||
- `a` + Repeat → `nd` (completes "and")
|
||||
- `i` + Repeat → `ng` (completes "ing")
|
||||
- `.` + Repeat → `./` (first repeat), `../` (second repeat)
|
||||
|
||||
