Planning my Piantor - Lemmy.world

So I should be getting a Piantor from Beekeeb in a number of weeks and I thought I would get a head start and plan my layout - or at least one version of it, influenced heavily by Ben Vallack’s video about avoiding press-and-hold mechanics. Still plenty of fiddling to do. I want to move the WASD-style cursor keys in L3 onto my first three fingers for sure. In fact I’ve already changed it and made room for insert and added shift as a home key mod on the right. God this is addictive.

What software are you using to plan it out?
Google Sheets with lots of cell merges. I’ll share the template doc when I’m at my computer later. 👍
I’ve used QMK configurator to sketch out keymaps before. You can download your keymap as JSON file and later upload it again to make more changes, or save a few different versions. It can even compile your firmware, but I’ve not used that feature. No programming required if you only use basic QMK features. It supports Piantor with a 3x5 layout: config.qmk.fm/#/beekeeb/piantor/LAYOUT_split_3x5_…
