⌨️ ZMK Config

I've been using this Ferris Sweep keyboard since Summer 2024. I love it!

Local Builds

To build the firmware and draw the keymap, there's a small shell script that uses a Docker image.

usage: build [-I] firmware [-k <keyboard>]
       build [-I] keymap [-k <keyboard>]
       build [-I] shell

  global options:
    -I             build docker image

  commands:
    firmware       build keyboard firmware (default)
    keymap         draw keyboard keymap
    shell          start an interactive shell in the docker container

  options:
    -k <keyboard>  select keyboard

  keyboards:
    ferris_sweep (default)
    corne_min

Keymap

This layout is mostly Miryoku, which I started off tweaking in place, then moved here.

I've switched from Colemak-DH to Focal, which I found in Pascal Getreuer's guide, and I'm liking it so far.

I've also added some horizontal combos inspired by urob's zmk-config. These give me left-handed copy-paste while I'm mousing, and, as a vim user, escape on the home row. They also make all the bracket pairs much easier to remember!

Parts

This is really my first foray into weird keyboards, and it was a little hard to get oriented at first, so here are some links in case you're curious yourself.

• The board and case are from Boardsource.
• The switches are Ambients nocturnals.
• The keycaps are Chicago Stenographer (via this fork), 3D-printed at jlc3dp.
