## Building the firmware
|
|
|
|
### Charybdis (4x6)
|
|
|
|
The `default` keymap is inspired from the original [Dactyl Manuform](../../handwired/dactyl_manuform) layout.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
qmk compile -kb bastardkb/charybdis/4x6 -km default
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check out the `via` layout if you're looking for VIA support:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
qmk compile -kb bastardkb/charybdis/4x6 -km via
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Charybdis (3x5)
|
|
|
|
The `default` keymap is inspired from the original [Dactyl Manuform](../../handwired/dactyl_manuform) layout.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
qmk compile -kb bastardkb/charybdis/3x5 -km default
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check out the `via` layout if you're looking for VIA support:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
qmk compile -kb bastardkb/charybdis/3x5 -km via
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Customizing the firmware
|
|
|
|
### Dynamic DPI scaling
|
|
|
|
The pointer's DPI can be changed at runtime.
|
|
|
|
By default, the DPI is set to `400`. The Charybdis supports up to 16 different DPI values. By default, it cycles between `400` and `3400`, with a step of `200` (_ie._ `400`, `600`, `800`, …, `3400`).
|
|
|
|
Calling `charybdis_cycle_pointer_default_dpi(bool forward)` will cycle forward or backward the possible values.
|
|
|
|
Use `charybdis_cycle_pointer_default_dpi_noeeprom(bool forward)` to change the DPI value without persisting the change to EEPROM (_ie._ resetting the board will revert to the last saved value).
|
|
|
|
`charybdis_get_pointer_default_dpi()` returns the current DPI value.
|
|
|
|
This behavior can be further customized with the following defines:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#define CHARYBDIS_MINIMUM_DEFAULT_DPI 400
|
|
#define CHARYBDIS_DEFAULT_DPI_CONFIG_STEP 200
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Drag-scroll
|
|
|
|
Drag-scroll enables scrolling with the trackball. When drag-scroll is enabled, the trackball's `x` and `y` movements are converted into `h` (horizontal) and `v` (vertical) movement, effectively sending scroll instructions to the host system.
|
|
|
|
Call `charybdis_set_pointer_dragscroll_enabled(bool enable)` to enable/disable drag-scroll.
|
|
|
|
`charybdis_get_pointer_dragscroll_enabled()` returns whether sniping mode is currently enabled.
|
|
|
|
To invert the horizontal scrolling direction, define `CHARYBDIS_DRAGSCROLL_REVERSE_X`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#define CHARYBDIS_DRAGSCROLL_REVERSE_X
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To invert the vertical scrolling direction (_ie._ mimic macOS "natural" scroll direction), define `CHARYBDIS_DRAGSCROLL_REVERSE_Y`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#define CHARYBDIS_DRAGSCROLL_REVERSE_Y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This only affects the vertical scroll direction.
|
|
|
|
### Sniping mode
|
|
|
|
Sniping mode slows down the pointer for more precise gestures. It is useful when combined with a higher default DPI.
|
|
|
|
Call `charybdis_set_pointer_sniping_enabled(bool enable)` to enable/disable sniping mode.
|
|
|
|
`charybdis_get_pointer_sniping_enabled()` returns whether sniping mode is currently enabled.
|
|
|
|
Like the default pointer's DPI, the sniper mode DPI can be changed at runtime.
|
|
|
|
By default, sniping mode lowers the DPI to `200`. This can be changed at runtime: the Charybdis supports up to 4 different DPI values for sniping mode. By default, it cycles between `200`, `300`, `400` and `500`.
|
|
|
|
Calling `charybdis_cycle_pointer_sniping_dpi(bool forward)` will cycle forward or backward the possible values.
|
|
|
|
Use `charybdis_cycle_pointer_sniping_dpi_noeeprom(bool forward)` to change the sniping mode DPI value without persisting the change to EEPROM (_ie._ resetting the board will revert to the last saved value).
|
|
|
|
`charybdis_get_pointer_sniping_dpi()` returns the current sniping mode DPI value.
|
|
|
|
This behavior can be further customized with the following defines:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#define CHARYBDIS_MINIMUM_SNIPING_DPI 200
|
|
#define CHARYBDIS_SNIPING_DPI_CONFIG_STEP 100
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Acceleration
|
|
|
|
By default, the pointer's movements are linear. To enable acceleration, add the following define:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#define CHARYBDIS_POINTER_ACCELERATION_ENABLE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The acceleration factor can be further tune _via_ the `CHARYBDIS_POINTER_ACCELERATION_FACTOR`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#define CHARYBDIS_POINTER_ACCELERATION_FACTOR 24
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Custom keycodes
|
|
|
|
The Charybdis firmware defines a number of keycodes to leverage its features, namely:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#ifndef NO_CHARYBDIS_KEYCODES
|
|
enum charybdis_keycodes {
|
|
POINTER_DEFAULT_DPI_FORWARD = SAFE_RANGE,
|
|
POINTER_DEFAULT_DPI_REVERSE,
|
|
POINTER_SNIPING_DPI_FORWARD,
|
|
POINTER_SNIPING_DPI_REVERSE,
|
|
SNIPING_MODE,
|
|
SNIPING_MODE_TOGGLE,
|
|
DRAGSCROLL_MODE,
|
|
DRAGSCROLL_MODE_TOGGLE,
|
|
CHARYBDIS_SAFE_RANGE,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
#define DPI_MOD POINTER_DEFAULT_DPI_FORWARD
|
|
#define DPI_RMOD POINTER_DEFAULT_DPI_REVERSE
|
|
#define S_D_MOD POINTER_SNIPING_DPI_FORWARD
|
|
#define S_D_RMOD POINTER_SNIPING_DPI_REVERSE
|
|
#define SNIPING SNIPING_MODE
|
|
#define SNP_TOG SNIPING_MODE_TOGGLE
|
|
#define DRGSCRL DRAGSCROLL_MODE
|
|
#define DRG_TOG DRAGSCROLL_MODE_TOGGLE
|
|
#endif // !NO_CHARYBDIS_KEYCODES
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Users extending the keycode set themselves (either in their keymap, or in their userspace) must start at `CHARYBDIS_SAFE_RANGE` to avoid conflicts, _eg._:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
enum userspace_keycodes {
|
|
#ifndef NO_CHARYBDIS_KEYCODES
|
|
MY_FIRST_KEYCODE = CHARYBDIS_SAFE_RANGE,
|
|
#else
|
|
MY_FIRST_KEYCODE = SAFE_RANGE,
|
|
#endif // !NO_CHARYBDIS_KEYCODES
|
|
MY_SECOND_KEYCODE,
|
|
…
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To disable the custom keycodes, and reduce binary size, simply add a definition in `config.h`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#define NO_CHARYBDIS_KEYCODES
|
|
```
