Support for Alternative Layouts
This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others. Sculpted-profile The majority of custom keycap sets are sculpted-profile (Cherry, SA, MT3, KAT, etc. - more on profiles generally here) so let’s start there. Because each row has a unique keycap shape, alt layouts require a unique keycap for each legend that moves off its QWERTY row. At first there were two The Dvorak layout was patented in 1936 by August Dvorak & William L....

Can't get it to flash over, though. Knops app comes up, and just sits there saying "put your device in DFU"
Not sure how to do this, there's not any documentation on it.
You can put your device in dfu mode by: - remove the usb cable from the device - hold down the top right keycap plug in your knops mini while holding down that top right keyswitch - the led of the top right keyswitch should start blinking - release the top right keyswitch - you put your device successfully in dfu mode :)
The idea is that the tool will soon not require you anymore to put it in dfu mode, so that macro switching will go automatically in the future :). This would open up a lot of possibilities like automatic layer switching depending on which windows application you focus. For instance, go to layer 1 when you are working in photoshop and go to layer 2 when you are in notepad/netbrains stuff. Unfortunately that is currently just a dream/vision for where this tool should be going.
Being able to process multi-key macros is the second most important thing I need to fix on the new tool. coming soon (tm)
So I got this kbflasher_installer_win.exe (from http://knops.io/configurator.html) and windows-setup.exe which showed up via notification from https://app.knop.io
Which one is recommended to use configure? Also, when I try to install windows-setup.exe, Win10 won't let me install.
What does win10 do to stop you from installing it? for me it works flawless on win10.
If anyone else reading this has a similar problem, please let me know here or elsewhere
Just sits there saying "check errors and warnings", tells me the macropad is missing binds for every key, and won't save. Previously, it would still save, but now it seems that KBFlasher is a brick to me as well. I'll need to wait until the new flasher is done.
The application sure isn't providing any information.
Edit: Fixed this by creating another new profile and starting over. Strange that it wouldn't save the old profiled anymore.
May I know your username on the kbflasher tool? Then I can look into what's causing this issue.
