I can no longer use this as my code won't compile:
chosen { zmk,matrix_transform = &five_column_transform; };
I've seen this, and it compiles, but it screws up my layout:
chosen { zmk,physical-layout = &foostan_corne_5col_layout;};
I've had a look at some info around dtsi, but am not sure if that is the right way to proceed.
Is there a simple correct way of updating my code, or is there a more involved method now?
Is this on account of the Corne v4 release?

Setting a chosen physical layout should work. Can you link your repository?
Corne v4 IIRC is wired only and doesn't support ZMK (or ZMK doesn't support it, depending on your perspective)

sure, I'm still learning so be gentle 😉

Do you have a link to the version where you tried setting chosen matrix transform but it failed to compile? It should build if you don't have ZMK Studio enabled.
ZMK Studio needs physical layout.
No need to dig for it if you can't easily find it.
Can you try removing the include on line 10 and replacing the chosen node with
/ {
chosen {
zmk,physical-layout = &foostan_corne_5col_layout;
};
};
I've got all 3 in the corne.keymap with some commented out
chosen {
//zmk,physical-layout = &foostan_corne_5col_layout; // from the new version from tyeractive, tho seems to be for corne v4?
zmk,matrix_transform = &corne_v2_5col_transform;
//zmk,matrix_transform = &five_column_transform; // old style, doesn't compile anymore
};

If I'm being honest config/corne_v2_5col_transform.dtsi feels like a guess made by AI/LLM, sorry if it's not.
That definitely wouldn't work

the zmk,physical-layout = &foostan_corne_5col_layout; compiles, but when I open it in https://nickcoutsos.github.io/keymap-editor/ I get a 6-column layout with no thumb keys

Ah I'm not sure how keymap editor interacts with physical layouts
Probably best to ask the author
lucid quiver
100% correct on the dtsi content, stopped pursuing that one, but can pick it up again if that's going to be the way forward.
So you're suggesting that regardless of the keymap editor is showing the board it should work on the actual board?
hoary snow
If you don't use ZMK Studio, setting /chosen/zmk,matrix-transform to &five_column_transform should still build
Yes, it should behave correctly on the actual board. Just keymap editor not taking account the keys (or it's showing the full keyboard but at runtime it'll only use the 5 columns??)

By this I mean literally just one line. No need to define matrix transform yourself. It's defined in ZMK, five_column_transform is the name.
What's the error message?
lucid quiver
let me run the compile now, back in 3

I think you can just ignore the most outer columns in keymap editor and the rest should work as expected if you set zmk,physical-layout = &foostan_corne_5col_layout;.
Just an assumption, not 100% sure.

ok, thanks, I'll give that a try
I've got my old firmware I can flash to it if it doesn't work, so worth a shot
