add quick-tap-ms and require-prior-idle-ms · WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block@cb2cda4 Contribute to WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com [1] Even after switching to my hm and ht behaviors I am running into some issues where sometimes I am still accidentally hitting mods(&hm) and layers(&ht) while typing and it’s been getting frustrating. My main issue has been on &ht, they are configured the same so I suspect that my pinkies just move a bit slower over the keys than my pointer/middle finger. I just added quick-tap-ms and require-prior-idle-ms to my &hm and &ht behaviors, and a few intentionally sloppy passes through monkeytype seem to show that its working well. A few days of trying this will tell whether it was a good fix or if I have maybe gone too far the other way. The end goal here is to be able to roll over keys faster without worrying about hitting other layers or mods. Note This post is a thought [2].

Tickle My Keys Keyboards so good your fingers will be begging to tickle these keys. ticklemykeys.com [1] I’ve been working on something, I’m gong to combine my mechanical engineering skills with my love of great keyboards and start a custom keyboard shop for building custom keyboards for exactly what people need with an emphasis on portability.

- Damn Prime covers this so well from all angles. Can’t overstate the importance of that last step. Look at the issues, and raise an issue if there is not one before putting in a bunch of hard work.

There’s a TUI for that with Nick Janetakis (Changelog & Friends #53) Nick Janetakis is back and this time we're talking about TUIs (text-based user interfaces) — some we've tried and some we plan to try. All are collected from Justin Garrison's Awesome TUIs repo o... Changelog · changelog.com [1] 50 minutes into this episode they start a discussion on seo, and naming posts. They give Jerod the task of googling for tmux and see how high up the ranking they find Nick, expecting a number one post, and he cant even get to Nick. The problem? Jerod is such a beginner he doesn’t even know what to search, he starts with a long query about getting started with tmux, but all of Nick’s videos are why you should use advanced features of tmux, but Jerod has yet to discover that these exist. As experts we often come up wtih a post title for the exact thing that we are trying to teach someone how to do, but yet, they haven’t discussed that they need that feature yet, they just want the getting started guide, or tell me why I should start using tmux. Not why sessions are better than windows, and tabs suck all together. Definitely an eye opening conversation listening to two experts sit in...

The Verge (@verge) on X Stress testing a snack-proof keyboard https://t.co/AsRdv6O0e8 X (formerly Twitter) · x.com [1] This is a wild keyboard test. This is exactly what I want to see from ticklemykeys.com. I want to make ergomechanical boards that you can use and abuse. I want you to not be afraid to take them with you or to eat a nutrigrain bar in the same room (cough 2015 mac). And If something does go out, I want users to be able to repair it themsleves, key caps, switches, batteries, and microcontrollers should be replacible parts they can get at a good cost from the shop if they have paid for a board.

all lt keys to hl · WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block@ce25356 Contribute to WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com [1] Today I swapped out all of my keys that are used dual purpose for letters and layers to homerow layers. This prevents goofy things happening when rolling, and prefers-tap makes it so that keys that are rolled over get hit as letters instead of as layers. This was one of my biggest hurdles jumping into zmk, lt as a homerow key just does not behave the same as the ht/hm behaviors with tap-preferred set. Seealso See previous commit where I added the hl https://github.com/WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block/commit/9522c859cdf024a2c2b73931c130ddc907c09ffc hl: homerow_layer { compatible = "zmk,behavior-hold-tap"; label = "HOMEROW_LAYER"; bindings = <&mo>, <&kp>; #binding-cells = <2>; tapping-term-ms = <150>; flavor = "tap-preferred"; }; Note This post is a thought [2].

- This keyboard layout looks weird af the mix of column staggar and row stagger is wild. Not sure if its genius or an abomination. That solenoid though is absolutely wild though, I kinda want one TBH. and the clear plate with the diodes laid out on it in a herringbone pattern is a very nice touch.

FastHX - FastHX volfpeter.github.io [1] Very interesting approach to htmx [2] and fast api. It uses separate decorators for returning template partials and json that can be stacked to include both options on a single route. The templates are explicitly set in the decorator. Separate decorators are used for full page and partial pages. I don’t see an example of full and partial pages being combined. I think the demo app must be behaving in a spa like fashion where it does not get all of the data when it calls index and index will ask for user-list.
