ZMK Config

ZMK firmware configuration for Corne and Urchin keyboards, optimized for English/French/Programming.

My Urchin 34 keys keyboard

Since the Corne (36 keys) and Urchin (34 keys) have similar layouts, both keyboards share the same configuration. The only exception is the combos using thumb keys, which are in their own files (combos_34 and combos_36). Keyboards also have their own keymap files, but in pratice they use the same mappings. Both firmwares are generated simultaneously with Github Actions.

Behaviors

The keymap uses a few behaviors in order to make everything work:

Layouts

The three alpha layers (QWERTY, Colemak-DH and Ergo-L) are mapped to the Canadian Multilingual Standard (CSA), but it can easily be adapted to other layout by copying canadian-multilingual-standard.dtsi and changing the macros accordingly. I've always used this layout, it's just more convenient for me to base my layout on it. This way I don't have to change whenever I switch keyboards.
