I'm also a programmer (as are probably a lot of people using these) - there's a couple ways i've heard of. e.g. a common one is Function + ASDW. My preferred method is to map F to go to the 2nd layer, where I've then mapped the vim movement keys (HJKL). e.g. hold down F and press J to move down. It's actually a shorter movement than using arrow keys. Takes a little getting used to, but I already use VIM key bindings in any editors that let me, so I like it.
While I'm mentioning customizations (which is why QMK is so awesome), some others that are handy for programming:
map what is traditionally the Caps Lock key to: when held, Control. when tapped, Escape.
map the Shift keys to Shift when held, Parens when tapped.
Yes. www.caniusevia.com shows the rev 1 version of this PCB is supported. You can download the .hex file there and flashi it via QMK once and then VIA for life after that.
SamL214Yeah. It would require Drop to work with QMK to get a working hex file. They said they were going to release a GUI for these few boards but then, never did so, it looks like they aren’t interested in VIA support. I also read something awhile back that indicates the microcontrollers used may also be the issue even though VIA is built on top of QMK. It’s been awhile and don’t hold your breath on this board. I don’t want to get into all of the issues with it like the terrible, rattling, plate mounted stabilizers but, there are better options out there that fully support VIA by smaller retailers that deserve the support.
I just received and assembled my tokyo60 with Halo True switches and SA keycaps. The ping is so loud and awful. I tried using the padding included in shipping to dampen but it doesn't fit in the case. Any ideas?
I assembled my Tokyo60 v3 board and tried connecting it to two different MacBook Pros with two different cables. The keyboard isn't detected at all. I even tried with the original PCB that I received initially. Anyone have any suggestions?
