<p>The <code>layouts/</code> folder contains different physical key layouts that can apply to different keyboards.</p>
|
|
<pre><code>layouts/
|
|
+ default/
|
|
| + 60_ansi/
|
|
| | + readme.md
|
|
| | + layout.json
|
|
| | + a_good_keymap/
|
|
| | | + keymap.c
|
|
| | | + readme.md
|
|
| | | + config.h
|
|
| | | + rules.mk
|
|
| | + <keymap folder>/
|
|
| | + ...
|
|
| + <layout folder>/
|
|
+ community/
|
|
| + <layout folder>/
|
|
| + ...
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The <code>layouts/default/</code> and <code>layouts/community/</code> are two examples of layout "repositories" - currently <code>default</code> will contain all of the information concerning the layout, and one default keymap named <code>default_<layout></code>, for users to use as a reference. <code>community</code> contains all of the community keymaps, with the eventual goal of being split-off into a separate repo for users to clone into <code>layouts/</code>. QMK searches through all folders in <code>layouts/</code>, so it's possible to have multiple repositories here.</p>
|
|
<p>Each layout folder is named (<code>[a-z0-9_]</code>) after the physical aspects of the layout, in the most generic way possible, and contains a <code>readme.md</code> with the layout to be defined by the keyboard:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-md"># 60_ansi
|
|
|
|
LAYOUT_60_ansi
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>New names should try to stick to the standards set by existing layouts, and can be discussed in the PR/Issue.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="page_Supporting-a-Layout">Supporting a Layout</h2>
|
|
<p>For a keyboard to support a layout, the variable must be defined in it's <code><keyboard>.h</code>, and match the number of arguments/keys (and preferably the physical layout):</p>
|
|
<pre><code>#define LAYOUT_60_ansi KEYMAP_ANSI
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The name of the layout must match this regex: <code>[a-z0-9_]+</code></p>
|
|
<p>The folder name must be added to the keyboard's <code>rules.mk</code>:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>LAYOUTS = 60_ansi
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p><code>LAYOUTS</code> can be set in any keyboard folder level's <code>rules.mk</code>:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>LAYOUTS = 60_iso
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>but the <code>LAYOUT_<layout></code> variable must be defined in <code><folder>.h</code> as well.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="page_Tips-for-Making-Layouts-Keyboard-Agnostic">Tips for Making Layouts Keyboard-Agnostic</h2>
|
|
<p>Instead of using <code>#include "planck.h"</code>, you can use this line to include whatever <code><keyboard>.h</code> (<code><folder>.h</code> should not be included here) file that is being compiled:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>#include QMK_KEYBOARD_H
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>If you want to keep some keyboard-specific code, you can use these variables to escape it with an <code>#ifdef</code> statement:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>KEYBOARD_<folder1>_<folder2></code>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>For example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-c">#ifdef KEYBOARD_planck
|
|
#ifdef KEYBOARD_planck_rev4
|
|
planck_rev4_function();
|
|
#endif
|
|
#endif
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Note that the names are lowercase and match the folder/file names for the keyboard/revision exactly.</p>
