# ANSI_QWERTZ |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This keymap was specifically designed to support keycaps with ANSI layout and legends, while retaining the possibility of inputting characters |
||||||
|
with diacritics that are normally not used in the english language. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It currently relies on the US-International keyboard layout, which can be installed in any current operating system without the use of third party hardware. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##Features |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Input of letters with diacritics on familiar QWERTZ layout |
||||||
|
* Support for ANSI-legend keycaps |
||||||
|
* Option to "revive" all dead keys |
||||||
|
* SpaceFN for easy access to Function keys and diacritic input |
||||||
|
* Locking "Gaming Mode" that disables SpaceFN and allows to bind GUI key in Games |
||||||
|
* Reset key binding, no need to press hardware reset button to program |
||||||
|
* Microphone Mute key (requires 3rd-party software, see below) |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
###Languages |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The US-International Layout is currently required for the support of non-english languages. This keymap swaps Y and Z to provide the familiar QWERTZ position for characters. |
||||||
|
All diacritic characters are input by either holding the Spacebar or the Fn key and pressing the corresponding key. For languages that aren't yet supported explicitly, |
||||||
|
one can also use AltGr to input the characters as intended by the US-Intl layout or the dead keys, if they're kept from being [revived](#Revive-Dead-Keys). |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The illustration below shows the "US International" layout available in the Language settings of Windows, Linux and Mac OS. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Not all languages are supported by this layout. Linux also offers the "US International Alternative" layout, |
||||||
|
which contains more dead keys to input pretty much every diacritic character in a language using latin letters. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
####Explicitly Supported Languages |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* German |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
####Implicitly Supported Languages |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This list only applys to Windows. Linux systems support all languages, see above. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This list might be incomplete! Please add your language if you find it's supported. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* French |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
###SpaceFN |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
SpaceFN basically means that Space acts as a normal spacebar when tapped, but acts as a layer-key when held down. |
||||||
|
This means that you can't hold space to output multiple spaces consecutively and that space only registers once released. |
||||||
|
The advantage is that the spacebar is easier to reach than any other Fn-key could be. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
###"Gaming Mode" |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To alleviate the problems SpaceFN would cause when gaming, the Gaming Mode is pretty much a layer that can be turned on by pressing Fn+RShift. |
||||||
|
This will turn the double-role Spacebar into a normal one, so the Fn-layer (and thus function and media keys) can only be accessed with the Fn-key. |
||||||
|
It also turns the GUI-key (aka Win-key aka Super-key) into Right Shift, so it can be bound in Games. This is especially useful when playing with ESDF instead of WASD. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
###Mute Microphone |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The function layer has a "Mute Microphone"-key. As this is not an existing media key and you can't normally set a shortcut to this function, |
||||||
|
you need to set this up in software before using it, see below. This key is bound to `Right Control` + `Left Control`, a keycombination that |
||||||
|
no other program in existence uses for anything, at least to my knowledge. It also can't be pressed with this keymap in any other way. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
####Linux |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Follow [these instructions](http://askubuntu.com/a/13364). |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#####Windows (Requires 3rd Party Software) |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility for any potential harm caused by third party applications!* |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You'll need a utility called "MicMute". It is available on [Sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/micmute/). |
||||||
|
After installing and running the tool, you only need to use the "Setup Shortcut" option to bind the key to muting the microphone |
||||||
|
and check whether your microphone is selected under "Devices". |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
###Revive Dead Keys |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some diacritics that are commonly used are dead keys on the international layouts, for example `` ` ``, `'`, or `"`. |
||||||
|
The dead keys on the regular international layout (shown in red [here](#Languages)) are revived with this keymap by automatically inserting a space if one of those characters is typed. |
||||||
|
If you don't want this to be the case, uncomment the following line in `keymap.c` prior to compiling: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
//#define DONT_REVIVE_DEADKEYS 1 |
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##Layers |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
###Base Layer |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The base layer is shown here for ANSI keys and an HHKB-style right shift. |
||||||
|
Again, the Y and Z keys are swapped, so you get the QWERTZ-positions of Y and Z when using the US-International layout. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
###Gaming layer |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To turn this layer on, please use the combination Fn+RShift, not Space+Rshift. If you do the latter, the Function layer |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
###Function Layer |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is the function layer for German diacritics. It can be accessed via the Fn-key or by holding space on the base layer. |
||||||

# A non-US ANSI QWERTZ keymap |

Currently, it explicitly supports the following languages, though other languages are readily useable using the AltGr modifier. |
