VIAL config for my Corne (foostan/crkbd) RGB keyboard. The keyboard config is in keymap.vil.

These are the specs for my keyboard:

• Keyboard: Corne (foostan/crkbd) (v4.1)
• Total keys: 46 (3 × 6 + 5)
• Switches: Kailh Choc v1 Brown
• Keycaps: MBK Legend‡ Glow R2
• Firmware: VIAL (QMK fork)
• Vendor: Keebart (keyboard reference)
• RGB Lighting: yes
• QMK keyboard id: crkbd/rev4_1

To better understand how I use my keyboard, I have split the layout in two parts:

• Hardware layout: How the keys are mapped via the keyboard firmware itself.
• Software layout: OS emulation layer that remaps some keys (ex: qwerty, azerty, dvorak, colemack, etc.)

I primarily use two layers (layer 0 and 1) for most of my daily work. I have two additional layers for extra keys I might need at times.

Default Layer: Letters and common symbols

Layer 1 (NavNum): Numbers, navigation keys and media keys

Layer 2: Function Keys (F1 - F20)

Layer 3: Mouse actions and RGB control

I have recently moved from QWERTY over to Ergo-L. Similarly to Dvorak or Colemack, Ergo-L is an ergonomic keyboard layout.

Ergo-L is well thought out and optimized for typing in French, English, and offering an easy access to programming symbols. The layout comes with four main "layers":

• Default layer for letters and other characters
• Shift modifier for uppercase letters and other alternate characters
• Alt Graph (Right Alt) modifier for symbols (with easy to reach programming symbols)
• Dead Key for diacritical marks (accents)

It's a really cool project and it fits my use case perfectly!

I recommend taking a look at their website. It is full of useful information and has some excellent advice when it comes to learning a new keyboard layout.
