Replace the Win/Mac default-layer switch with an RGB effect toggle:
- Win side → solid white backlight
- Mac side → typing heatmap
Add a weak dip_switch_update_keymap() hook in q5_max.c to work around
factory_test.c already owning dip_switch_update_user().
Define TAPPING_TERM (200ms default) and TAPPING_TERM_PER_KEY in config.h,
then implement get_tapping_term() to set a tight 50ms window for TD_HOME_END
so a single Home tap never accidentally resolves as End.
CK_CTRL_K_C and CK_CTRL_K_D were leftover from an earlier failed
attempt using ACTION_TAP_DANCE_DOUBLE with custom keycodes. Now that
TD_CHORDS uses ACTION_TAP_DANCE_FN with SEND_STRING, they are unused.
Two build errors:
1. RAW_EPSIZE undeclared — usb_descriptor.h is not in scope when
keymap.c is compiled through Keychron's build path. Replace all
uses with HID_PACKET_SIZE (= 32), now defined in hid_protocol.h.
2. via_command_kb duplicate symbol — keychron_raw_hid.c already defines
via_command_kb (non-weak) so we cannot redefine it in keymap.c.
Fix by adding a weak kc_raw_hid_rx_kb() extension hook to
keychron_raw_hid.c (following the same pattern as kc_rgb_matrix_rx).
kc_raw_hid_rx() now calls this hook from its default case instead of
returning false directly. The keymap overrides kc_raw_hid_rx_kb() to
handle our custom HID command range (0x40-0x7E).
Add hid_protocol.h defining a shared 32-byte packet structure for the
qmk-host bridge application (command IDs 0x40-0x7E, clear of VIA's
range). Implement via_command_kb() in keymap.c to intercept incoming
packets: LAYER_SYNC applies a new active layer, VOLUME and BRIGHTNESS
store host-reported values for future RGB indicators, and ACTIVE_APP
is stubbed for a later commit. Layer state changes are broadcast to the
host via raw_hid_send() from layer_state_set_user(), guarded by
g_hid_recv_active to prevent echo loops when the change itself
originated from HID.
Introduces LCK_FN1–LCK_FN4, LCK_CTL, and LCK_BASE custom keycodes that
toggle a layer into a locked state so it stays active after momentary keys
are released. A second press on the same lock key or pressing LCK_BASE
clears all locks and returns to BASE.
Implements rgb_matrix_indicators_advanced_user to colour the ESC key
(LED 0) based on the current layer: dark on BASE, blue on FN1, green
on FN2, orange on FN3, purple on FN4, and red on KEEB_CTL.
Adds a three-key combo (, . /) that fires TO(BASE), providing an
emergency escape hatch when stuck on an unknown layer. COMBO_ONLY_FROM_LAYER
is set to 0 in the keymap config.h so keycodes are always resolved from
BASE, making the combo reliable regardless of the active layer.
Document build commands, code style, and development workflow for the
Q5 Max via keymap. Emphasize that all qmk commands must be run inside
the project Python venv (.venv/bin/activate) rather than the system qmk.
Implement a chord-mode unicode entry system activated by Fn1+LeftAlt
(CHORD_KEY). Supports two activation styles: tap CHORD_KEY then type
the sequence within a 2-second window, or hold CHORD_KEY, type the
sequence, and release to commit.
- Add chord_unicode.c/h with a ~110-entry table covering math symbols
(°²³√≈≠≤≥±÷×∞π), Greek letters, currency, fractions, arrows,
typography, and a broad emoji set
- Prefix-aware matching with a 300ms disambiguation timer handles
same-prefix alias pairs (e.g. lte/lteq→≤, inf/infty→∞) cleanly
- Backspace deletes, Enter confirms, Escape cancels while in chord mode
- Modifier and layer key-up events pass through so TT(FN1) release
correctly deactivates the layer while chord mode is active
- Enable UNICODE_ENABLE and wire chord_unicode.c into the build
Add additional functionality and more intuitive use of existing keys:
- Add a Sleep key (FN1+Esc)
- Add a Power key (FN2+Esc)
- Keep old End key behavior alongside tap-dance (FN1+Home - End)
- Add Home key (FN1+LeftArrow)
- Add End key (FN1+RightArrow)
