A tweaked keymap for Redox

I copied fculpo's layout and made a few modifcations more suited for my own needs. In general it seems to be a fairly straight foward adaptation of a standard QWERTY full size keyboard. At least for me.

Changes to the default keymap

Keymap changes from the default keymap are:

  • Move GUI (SUPER) key to where default left CTRL is
  • Move /? into usual location next to right SHIFT - the default flash from Falbatech put \| here (might not be the Redox default?), which felt unintuitive
  • Put \| into bottom-left spot where GUI (SUPER) was - had to go somewhere and this bottom-left placement sort of balances with the almost bottom-right /?
  • Change default ESC into ESC on tap, CTRL on hold - for the love of the UNIX-ey CTRL key location and to keep ESC in the original position
  • Add F11 and F12 keys to two layers - needed on macOS if you want to control volume up and down from your keyboard (not shown, on a different layer)S
  • Access ADJUST layer by holding either END or PAGEUP off default layer.

Changes by KL1RL are:

  • Remove the right hand CTRL combo key, it was bugging me.
  • Add Brightness Up and Brightness Down on the right hand thumb cluster on the ADJUST layer.
  • Add Mute, Vol Down and Vol Up on LH thumb cluster also on the ADJUST layer.
