I actually made something similar using a small program called "luamacros" to intercept keys from a Planck ortholinear keyboard, then I printed out labels to put on the blank keycaps.
I think I've finally settled on a good layout, so I'll be printing up some custom keycaps to permanently print the legends on the keys.
It's surprisingly useful! I've got some buttons to open websites, some to do git-things, some to open terminals to various places on my PC, some to open folders, and a few to open programs.
- robinhartley94 10y agoThat sounds like an awesome setup. Can't deny that programming up your own layout to your exact needs definitely gives you the best results.
- Klathmon 10y agoYeah, I really wanted something easier to work with as it's a bit of a pain to maintain, and I might see if I can pick one of these up for my office machine!
- robinhartley94 10y agoHmm yeah that's the thing with a highly customised setup. Well if you do get one I've no doubt it'll do the job for you well :)
- stcredzero 10y agoLuamacros was used by the video editor of Linus Tech Tips to make an entire spare keyboard into a macro pad. He even used up every single key! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn8ExQ2Gjg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn8ExQ2Gjg
- Klathmon 10y agoYeah that was where I got the idea. I was actually able to remap the keys of the Planck with some customizable firmware to remove the layer key and Ctrl/alt/etc... keys which made it easier to work with.
