Setting up ARTSEY on your Keyboard

From the Firmware Files folder in this repository, pick your flavor of artsey and download the files in that folder. Each folder contains combos.c which is the main file you will need to add ARTSEY to your keyboard. Each folder also contains a keymaps subfolder with a sample keymap for that flavor. Finally, each folder contains combos.txt, key.txt, and processor.R which will allow you to modify or extend ARTSEY.

Put `combos.c` and `aliases.c` in `\qmk_firmware\keyboards\your_board` folder.

combos.c and aliases.c are the only files you will need from this repository unless you want to extend ARTSEY.

Enable Combos

Ensure the following line appears somehwere in rules.mk: COMBO_ENABLE = yes

Note that if you are adding artey to another keyboard, add these seven layers to the other layers you have enumerated.

Create keymap.

Use the keymap.c file in the \Firmware Files\ folder to create your keymap. Note, you will need to update LAYOUT_ortho_2x4 to whatever your layout name is for your keyboard. If you are making a dedicated 2x4 artsey board, you can simply duplicate the keymap below. If you are using an larger board, or adding ARTSEY to another board, make sure you have at least the keys outlined below in each respective layer.

Always make sure you have #include "combos.c" and #include alases.c and have enumerated at least the 7 artsey layers _ART_BASE,_ART_NUM,_ART_CUS,_ART_PUNC,_ART_MOU,_ART_NAV,_ART_SYM, as below. If you are adding ARTSEY to another board, you can simply add these 7 layers and their respective keys to the keymap. Here is what a standard ARTSEY keymap looks like.

enum layers {
  _ART_BASE,
  _ART_NUM,
  _ART_CUS,
  _ART_PUNC,
  _ART_MOU,
  _ART_NAV,
  _ART_SYM,
};

#include "aliases.c"
#include "combos.c"

const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {

[_ART_BASE] = LAYOUT_ortho_2x4(
LT(_ART_SYM,KC_A),KC_R,KC_T,LT(_ART_NUM,KC_S),
LT(_ART_PUNC,KC_E),KC_Y,KC_I,LT(_ART_CUS,KC_O)
),

[_ART_NUM] = LAYOUT_ortho_2x4(
KC_1,KC_2,KC_3,KC_TRNS,
KC_4,KC_5,KC_6,KC_TRNS
),


[_ART_PUNC] = LAYOUT_ortho_2x4(
KC_EXLM,KC_BSLS,KC_SCLN,KC_GRV,
KC_TRNS,KC_QUES,KC_MINS,KC_EQL
),

[_ART_CUS] = LAYOUT_ortho_2x4(
KC_MPLY,KC_MUTE,KC_KB_VOLUME_UP,KC_TRNS,
KC_MPRV,KC_MNXT,KC_KB_VOLUME_DOWN,KC_TRNS
),

[_ART_SYM] = LAYOUT_ortho_2x4(
KC_TRNS,KC_LPRN,KC_RPRN,KC_LCBR,
KC_TRNS,KC_LBRC,KC_RBRC,KC_RCBR
),

[_ART_MOU] = LAYOUT_ortho_2x4(
KC_BTN1,KC_MS_U,KC_BTN2,KC_WH_U,
KC_MS_L,KC_MS_D,KC_MS_R,KC_WH_D
),

[_ART_NAV] = LAYOUT_ortho_2x4(
KC_HOME,KC_UP,KC_END,KC_PGUP,
KC_LEFT,KC_DOWN,KC_RIGHT,KC_PGDN
),
};

Done

You are ready to build your firmware`!

Extend or edit ARTSEY

If you want to extend or edit artsey, modify key.txt and combos.txt. key.txt determines what each key does. combos.txt determines what each combo does. The entries in this file look like this:

artsey_v||SEND_STRING("v")||BASE_1_2,BASE_1_4

Note the line has e entries separated by double pipes ||. Here is the description of each entry.

The name of the combo for readability.
The action for qmk to take when the combo is pressed. Here: sending the "v" key.
What keys make up the combo. Here it is the first row second column button on the base layer and the first row fourth column key from the base layer.

They key.txt file has entries that look like this:

BASE_1_1||LT(_ART_SYM,KC_A)

Note the line has 2 entries separated by double pipes ||. Here is the description of each entry.

The name of the key in the keymap and key.txt. Here it is the first row and first column key on the base layer.
What the key should do in terms of a QMK key code. Here it is a layer-tap key that sends "a" when tapped and moves to the ARTSEY symbol layer when held.

Once you are done editing combos.txt, and key.txt head over to the ARTSEY Processor APP and upload your key.txt and combos.txt to get updaded combos.c and aliases.c.
