@piggz #VIAL is great to try and find new things. I took my time with it, experienced tap dance, then ultimately went to one shot mods.
And when you feel you have your ideal layout, you rebuild it with pure #QMK and forget VIAL for good.

My new keeb arrived yesterday. I've had to fiddle around with the key layout a bit (it wanted backspace to be on the right hand under M key) and a few others, but I'll get it working.
Vial.rocks doesn't seem to want to work, but the app does. Its less intuitive than ZSA's Oryx, but I'm sure I'll work it out. Need to get used to no tenting though 😬

I have a shiny new QMK/VIAL configurable macro pad and thanks to some magic with the compose key to work around the fact that it can't directly output Unicode, I now have the dedicated interrobang key I've wanted for years.
Cool, huh‽
OK, that's not the real reason I wanted it, but it's a huge bonus.

I managed to ESD-fry one of the pins on the #rp2040 handling my #diy split #keyboard. I touched a key, heard a pop, and the row stopped working.
Electrically the row is fine, but the pin just wasn't registering. Fortunately there are enough spare pins, so a quick resolder, config edit, #vial #qmk FW build and upload and it's good as new.
"Use QMK!" they said.
"No, use VIA! You will have a way to configure keyboard via web browser!" said others.
"Forget QMK or VIA, use VIAL!" said yet another group.
You know what I say? Forget VIAL - it is interesting fork with even worse docs than QMK (which has awful docs).
Go QMK + VIA_ENABLE=yes.
Looks like I need to do some JSON wrangling to tell #QMK/ #Vial the physical layout of my keyboards, rather than just a logical grid (which sufficed for my 36 key layout). I’ve done it for #ZMK Studio and #KeymapDrawer - so I have all the key positions, angles, and sizes…
@clementd Je vois super bien l’intérêt d’une reconfiguration sans flash (j’ai ça sur mes keyboardio), même si je regrette que ça ne soit pas faisable via Firefox. Pour le #Quacken, le plan c’est de mettre un serveur #ZMKStudio en place.
C’est juste Vial que je n’aime pas. Ma compréhension du sujet c’est que #Vial est basé sur un vieux fork de #QMK, et qu’il n’y a aucun plan pour se rebaser sur la branche principale, donc on renonce à certaines fonctionnalités que je considère indispensables.
