QMK tap dancing and one-shot layers quick demo

Walkerstop · February 13, 2019, 10:37am

I use QMK firmware on my custom keyboards.
I recently started using tap dancing and one-shot layers. This is a quick demo to show how cool those features can be for common keyboarding tasks on smaller layouts.

If you want to see how I have configured my left alt key for tap dancing and one-shot layer functionality, here is my keymap:

github.com

walkerstop/qmk_firmware/blob/fanoe/keyboards/wheatfield/blocked65/keymaps/walker/keymap.c

#include QMK_KEYBOARD_H

typedef struct {
  bool is_press_action;
  int state;
} tap;

enum {
  SINGLE_TAP = 1,
  SINGLE_HOLD = 2,
  DOUBLE_TAP = 3,
  DOUBLE_HOLD = 4,
  TRIPLE_TAP = 5,
  TRIPLE_HOLD = 6
};

//Tap dance enums
enum {
  ALT_OSL1 = 0
};

Cool stuff! I always shied away from anything less than a 75%, because I feel like I couldn’t live without my F-row, but this makes me wanna reconsider trying a 65% keyboard now

Very informative stuff and thanks for the video demonstration!

Great stuff! Thanks for posting - we need more discussions on the power and programming of QMK, especially with the growing numbers of this hobby.

Great demo, thanks for sharing the code too. Now I can understand exactly how the code behaves without having to guess and read the qmk manual to figure out and still have occasional doubts.
