Hey guys I'm kinda hoping there's at least one turbo nerd engineer at wooting that recognizes the strength of modern (Dvorak and Colemak are outdated at this point) alternative keyboard layouts (https://old.reddit.com/r/KeyboardLayouts/) because otherwise I don't think I have many chances to get this implemented. Anyway the focus here is on a potential firmware implementation for something that the folks at keyboard layouts call magic key and repeat key. Essentially what it does is it dynamically changes its key output depending on what key preceeded it. For a more in-depth explanation https://github.com/Ikcelaks/keyboard_layouts/blob/main/magic_sturdy/magic_sturdy.md but essentially for example if your last key you pressed was P the magic key would rebind itself to be Y. Repeat key would simply repeat whatever key you previously typed.
I know this is super nerdy territory and probably not all that useful for the general public (unless someone can think of more broad usage cases for said functionality?) but right now everyone that wishes to use one has to rely on third party OS implementations which become unusable if you have to use someone elses computer even if you bring your keyboard. Having it within the firmware would go a long way.
If anyone reading cares about learning about how absolutely atrocious qwerty is compared to literally any recent machine learning generated layout this is a good resource: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_a5Nzbkwyk1o0bvTctZrtgsee9jSP-6I0q3A0_9Mzm0/edit
Sorry for the long winded message but I'm basically praying there's even just ONE wooting guy that may even remotely care about taking time for this haha
