plattfot's keymap for Kyria
Designed to be ease of use when programming, typing in both English and Swedish and navigating around in a tiling window manager, in my case sway. Uses the two rotary encoders (lower left/right thumb row) as two palm buttons.
This keymap avoids Mod-tap as they do not work for me. Kyria has enough thumb keys to make it work without them.

Setup for typing in both English and Swedish (hence the Å in the top right corner, which is just [ on an US layout).
Modifiers are mostly on the left hand, to make it comfortable when require keyboard and mouse. For example working in a DCC (Digital Content Creation tool) like Houdini and Maya.
Notable features on this layer
Left rotary encoder
- Press: play/pause
- Rotate: Volume control
Right rotary encoder
- Press: Call keybinding that toggles between two recent workspaces.
For sway that is
workspace back_and_forth - Rotate: Page up/Page down. Used mouse scrolling at first. But scrolling only works in the window where the mouse pointer is. Which kind of defeated the purpose of having the scroll on the keyboard, as I still needed to move my hand to the mouse and then I could just use the scroll on the mouse.
Leader key is mainly used for jumping between workspaces. Otherwise I would need to use both hands everytime I need to switch. With the leader key I can jump between 1-5 with just the left hand. The right rotary encoder also helps jumping back and forth between two workspaces by just pressing down my right palm.
The double tap key, which I based on a code snippet from a
reddit post.
When pressed, it will repeat the next key twice. Reason for this is
that I found it a bit awkward to hold down the lower key when I need
to type a symbol twice. Which happens a lot when programming or
running commands on the command line. Does not save me any key presses
but more comfortable to type double keys, for example -- and &&.
Lower Layer: Symbols

Contains most of the symbols, only exceptions are those that are already on the default US base layer i.e. quotes, punctuation and forward slash.
Notable features on this layer
Left rotary encoder
- Press: mute
- Rotate: Skip next/previous song
The left letter bottom row contains macros to quickly type the
different types of brackets and move the cursor to be inside. For
example lower+c will type ()←, where ← is pressing the left arrow.
Same principle for the '' macro. Really nice to have when
programming, and it is editor agnostic.
Raise Layer: Function keys

// | | | | | | | | | | RAlt | |
// | | | | | | | | | | | |
// `----------------------------------' `----------------------------------'
Access to the functional keys, which I mostly use to run emacs
compilation mode.
This layer also includes key that changes the state, like insert and caps lock.
Scroll Lock is used to toggle between English and Swedish.
Notable features on this layer
Right rotary encoder
- Press: Right Alt, rarely use this, but it is needed for the Swedish layout to type some symbols. But I find I mostly switch back to the English layout if I need to type symbols. Might change this in the future.
- Rotate: Moving between tabs in the browser, as described in this blog post.
Navigation Layer: Number keys, navigation
// ,-------------------------------------------. ,-------------------------------------------.
// | | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 | |
// |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------|

// | | | | | | | | | | RCtrl| |
// | | | | | | | | | | | |
// `----------------------------------' `----------------------------------'
Access to the number as well as the arrow keys. Got use to the number row after using ErgoDox keyboards for a few years. Do not feel I need a numpad layer, which seems to be quite common with small keyboards like this.
Esc and Delete is also on this layer as they are easy to reach and they only need to be chord with the modifiers.

Right now it only contains adjustment to the underglow.
