brandonschlack's TKL ANSI layout

A mostly typical Mac setup, with some personal QMK touches.

Base Layer

The base layer has a standard macOS modifier layout, with F13-F15 in the F row, in place of Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause/Break.

Mod-Taps

• Hyper Caps Lock
  • Hold Caps Lock for 'Hyper' (Shift+Control+Option+Command). I use it for mapping global shortcuts for apps.
  • Tapping Caps Lock functions normally
• Media controls mapped to Right Modifiers
  • Right Command for Prev Track
  • Right Option for Next Track
  • Fn for Play/Pause

Function Layer

The Function layer is a mix of Apple's Fn shortcuts, WASD Keyboard's Media shortcuts, and some QMK functionality.

Apple's Fn shortcuts

• Home/Page Down/Page Up/End as Fn+Left/Down/Up/Right
• Foward Delete as Fn+Backspace
• Display Brightness Down/Up as Fn+F1/F2
• Misson Control (KC_FIND, but use Karabiner-Elements as find -> mission_control) as Fn+F3
• Launchpad (KC_MENU, but use Karabiner-Elements as menu -> launchpad) as Fn+F4
• Keyboard Illumination Down/Up used as RGB Underglow Value Decrease/Increase on Fn+F5/F6

WASD Keyboard's Media shortcuts

• Play/Pause as Fn+Insert
• Prev/Next Track as Fn+Delete/End
• Volume Up/Down as Fn+Page Up/Page Down
• Volume Mute as Fn+F15

Personal & QMK shortcuts

• Sleep Display (Shift+Control+Power) as Fn+Home.
• QMK Make as Fn+Esc. Sends make command to command line. Holding Shift will also append :flash target and put keyboard into bootloader.
• Reset as Fn+B

RGB Controls

• RGB Hue Increase/Decrease as Fn+Q/A
• RGB Saturation Increase/Decrease as Fn+W/S
