Cord Example: if jkl; are all keydown at the same time then send the space keypress.

Background: Got my first ergomech board recently, still learning QMK (I code but, haven’t manually flashed anything yet).

AFAIK it looks like Via and QMK Configurator don’t have direct support for cords, so I’d love to know of existing techniques for corded keys. I’d be happy to hear any interesting key-mapping methods you have in general (ex: a numberpad layer).

Personally I’m not looking to go full asetniop I think I just want a handful of chords to go along with layers.

    Oh! Yet another thing I didn’t think of. I’ll start trying that.

    While I don’t have choc (I wanted choc switches) I did take the time to print choc-like keycaps for MX switches, because apparently 3d printing and Etsy are the only way to get those (for some reason).

    I don’t know how people tolerate keycap profiles like DSA

      I like DES for mx and it works well for combos as well. You can buy a set from Asymplex if you have the cash. Or order them from JLCPCB in MJF which is also pretty nice. You can find pre spued files for that on GitHub if you search around

        I’ve considered getting Chicago steno but they’re so darn expensive lol. You think they’re worthwhile?

          I got mine used and in the bag of shame raffle 😅 AUD to USD makes them pretty expensive. They are really nice though. If you’re on the fence I’d get some printed in MJF and use those for a bit. )Then you’ll fall in love with the profile and be forced to buy the real deal hahaha )
