QMK

Install QMK

Install the QMK CLI

brew tap qmk/qmk
brew install qmk/qmk/qmk
qmk setup

Config QMK for development:

# Clone qmk_firmware into ~/
git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:lwkz/qmk_firmware.git

Compile the QMK framework for your keyboard(s):

ZMK

Using ZMK

My Cornish-Zen v2 (Group Buy 3) uses ZMK for Bluetooth support.

Bluetooth Operations

  • Reference key code: &bt
  • Clear paired host: BT_CLR
  • Switch Bluetooth Profiles: BT_SEL <n> - n is the 0-indexed profile by number

With the standard Miryoku Colemak layout, you need the bottom row of your right-half keyboard on the media layer for switching the Bluetooth device. There are profiles 1 to 4 (starts with the h key for profile 1, not the k key). You press Shift plus the corresponding profile key to clear the profile.
