#Infinity Ergodox layout

This repo hosts my Infinity Ergodox layout so I can recall it when needed.

#Requirements

• An Infinity Ergodox keyboard
• The kiibohd-configurator tool
• One of the layout files from layouts/
• Install dfu-util from package manager

#Software setup

Install dfu-util with:

$ emerge app-mobilephone/dfu-util

Then create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/98-kiibohd.rules

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/98-kiibohd.rules

Finally, unzip the configurator tool to a location and

#To flash

Start the configurator with:

$ ./kiibohd-configurator

It should open the GUI from where you can select the Infinity Ergodox as the keyboard to work with. There should be an "Import Keymap" button that open a text box in which you can paste a JSON of your keyboard layout.

Each side is flashed individually, there's a button on the bottom of each half. The configurator tool has a "FLASH" button that really only compiles the firmware, the keyboard halves must be put in flash mode before any changes can be applied.

You can basically follow the steps here.

#How I use it

The keyboard is basically setup as your standard (US) QWERTY layout with some minor differences when it comes to keys used a lot in programming.

I use the Dvorak layout and typically run:

$ setxkbmap dvorak
$ setxbkmap -option compose:caps

to have (US) Dvorak as the interpreted layout and use CAPS LOCK as the Compose key.

#Alternatives

I've considered just hard-coding the keyboard to Dvorak. Then I wouldn't need to run the setxkbmap dvorak line every time I plug in the keyboard.
