plattfot's keymap for Kyria
Designed to be ease of use when programming, typing in both English and Swedish and navigating around in a tiling window manager, in my case sway. Uses the two rotary encoders (lower left/right thumb row) as two palm buttons.
This keymap avoids Mod-tap as they do not work for me. Kyria has enough thumb keys to make it work without them.
The symbols are split into two layers, one for each hand. Then the layers are activated by the opposite thumb. Found that having all symbols on one layer then have one thumb activate them made it awkward to press keys with the index finger on the same hand.
Custom feature I call the close tap (Clotap) key, I based on a code
snippet from a
reddit post.
When pressed, it will insert the closing equivivalent key and press
← (left arrow). For example tapping Clotap then press ( will
result in the keypresses ()←, if pressing " will result in ""←,
if pressing ) will result in )←(. Really nice to have when
programming, it is editor agnostic and saves me two keypresses (need
to press NAV+j for ←). It also removes the need for having specific
macros for these as I had before.

Setup for using the EurKey layout. As it's annoying to have to toggle us and swedish layout which shifts symbols around.
AltGr is used to access the extra keys in the EurKey layout.
Notable features on this layer
Left rotary encoder
- Press: play/pause
- Rotate: Volume control
Right rotary encoder
- Press: Scroll lock
- Rotate: Page up/Page down. Used mouse scrolling at first. But scrolling only works in the window where the mouse pointer is. Which kind of defeated the purpose of having the scroll on the keyboard, as I still needed to move my hand to the mouse and then I could just use the scroll on the mouse.
Leader key is mainly used for jumping between workspaces. Otherwise I would need to use both hands everytime I need to switch. With the leader key I can jump between 1-5 with just the left hand.

Symbols for the left hand, function keys for the right hand.
I had the function keys at the bottom on the navigation layer. But it was annoying when typing version strings. Hitting f1-5+f11 involved both hands. And it turned out that my keybinding for closing a window (Super+Shift+c) and rebooting my machine (Super+Shift+f3) ended up on the same physical keys.
Splitting them up like this allows me to hit all the function keys with just one hand and I wont accidentally reboot my machine when trying to close a window.

Access to the number and the arrow keys. Got use to the number row after using ErgoDox keyboards for a few years. Do not feel I need a numpad layer, which seems to be quite common with small keyboards like this.

Right now it only contains adjustment to the underglow. Activated by
holding down RAISE and LOWER at the same time.
