cbbrowne custom keyboard
==============================
Due to cbbrowne@acm.org
Christopher Browne
This was originally based on the default keyboard map, but I have been
doing sundry experimentation:
* To figure things out about the toolset
* I'm an Emacs guy, so will be needing a fair bit of tuning
* It made sense to mess around some with keyboard maps.
- I tried added Workman alongside Dvorak and Colemak
- Boy, oh boy, these don't help!!!
- I have done 30 years of learning of Emacs key mappings, and
these alternative keyboards massively mess me up
- I added a keypad, originally based on keymaps/numpad.c, but
mighty substantially revised, as that one seems to be rotated 90
degrees from usual conventions for number pads
* The keypad layer also includes some sample "hacks" of cool things,
all using actions attached in using the function action_get_macro()
- Key [1][2] aka "q" types out my name, cbbrowne, as a fun example
of a key generating a bunch of keystrokes. The keystroke is
sufficiently inconvenient that it isn't terribly practical for me
to use it, but hey, it shows how others might use this facility
in a more useful context.
- Key [2][2] aka "a" uses a random number generator to select a digit 0-9 at random
- Key [3][2] aka "z" uses a random number generator to select a letter a-z at random
