Hello everyone, I recently bought a piantor keyboard and I am having trouble with qmk. I have configured two layer keys(num, nav) each of them switches to different layer and I want to be able to hold both of them to access fourth layer(CzechLayer), but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
Here is my keymap.c file:
It's much easier as you imagine. It always one key and in any layout it works the same. If I need to switch to nums layout I always tap twice. If I hold I switch to chars layout. This is much more intuitive than any key combination
This doesn't work perfectly, IIRC if OP presses MO(1), then MO(2), then releases MO(1) it'll stay on layer 3. The better way to do it is defining the layer_state_set_user function and calling update_tri_layer_state as documented here
In your num and nav layers you have to change the codes of the opposite layer tap keys. So in your num layer change MO(nav) to MO(chez) and for your num layer change MO(num) to MO(chez). So once you are in either layer hitting to other tap key takes you to your chez layer.
It's QMK with support for Vial, so you can use the AppImage to define key mappings, layers and many other stuff without having to code and compile QMK. https://get.vial.today
So far that was enough flexibility for me, dodging a compile.
Ideally you want to use QMK's tri_layer feature as I outlined in this comment.
Also you can just use the _______ keycode instead of restating MO(...) on every layer as that is the an alias for KC_TRANSPARENT meaning it maintains the function of the layer below.
