You were singlehandedly the most helpful and informative source of information on this subject I had the pleasure of finding! And now I can finally try some different layouts, thank you thank you thank you!
This is really useful, thank you. The wild thing to me is that you created a github account just to do this. I'm a developer. I'm on github all day. I still don't want to deal with this hassle lol. I just want to map some keys using something like VIA lol.
Hahah, my love of keyboards is eventually going to force me to learn C. I spent all of last Sunday trying to set up a QMK keyboard, I pretty much got everything going on it running with Vial, except for the damn OLED screens. I love the idea of picking up coding as a hobby though. Also, check out ZMK studio, I think it's supposed to be essentially VIA/VIAL but for ZMK. I'm not familiar with it just yet but I plan on messing around with it.
Do you know if it's possible to speed up the GitHub Actions build process for pruducing ZMK firmware, maybe by caching some of the stuff that's being pulled and built? It currently takes about 3 minutes to complete.
Sorry for the delay, on my default layer the keys next to layer keys on the left are plus and equals, holding on for plus and tapping for equals, on the right it's tap for hyphen, hold for underscore. Hope this helps!
How do you edit the code within ZMK? I have the same case that I just built and the Bluetooth sucks on it for me. Ive seen a lot of people saying to add "CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_PLUS_8=y" into the .config folder but I can't seem to find that. (I just flashed with the "out of the box" firmware that they have.)
Haha initially I thought I read that you were having horrible battery life. I'm an idiot, but I have the flu right now so that's my excuse. The .config isn't located on the board but on Github. Here are some screenshots from my repo. Hope this helps! imgur.com/a/BfHD5gG
Mmm...Press and hold is not safe and I can argue that is a very bad practice to hi-jack OS behavior. E.g. English keyboard + Mac the only safe keys are Q, P, F, J, X, V, B & M the rest of the key needs to be preserved in order to access special characters.
Ah, I see what you mean, I guess it really depends if you need access to those special characters, homerow mods on boards like these are pretty popular so I wouldn't be surprised is those who would need those special characters have setup other ways to access them. I personally don't use them so it's never been an issue for me.

Check out ZMK studio, I have yet but it may have simplified things even further!
Thank you for the video! I just bought a Softle and didn't know how to update the firmware, and you also mentioned a convenient editor!
Thank you! Definitely going to use it when building mine!
Look into ZMK studio, they just released and I hear you don't have to flash like you do this way. Immediately outdated my video 😂
@@heyitspete9890 Yes I saw it too, typeractive team is updating their repo to support it now ;) But the video is still helpful for the layout tips

@@heyitspete9890 omg, that's soooo much easier!! thanks!

Hi there at 9:01 what are the binds for the left and right side of the thumb keys that look like periods? (I'm copying everything :))

@@heyitspete9890 Thanks!
Great stuff! How are you liking the tenting solution?
I love it, I'd like to experiment with more tenting solutions but I'm at the point prefer tented over nontented when using my corne.

I'll check my configs tomorrow and let to know!

Do you know, how to change/edit the displays?
Not yet, but I'll look into it. Had a really hard time recently on a qmk board, hoping it's a bit easier with ZMK.
Hi bro, maybe u can help me: in my case I tried to enable mouse movement in zmk firmware, but in didn't compiled, can u suggest good tutorial?
