Billiam's Space65 layout (with split backspace)

This layout is optimized for vim users on MacOS with a split backspace.

Settings:

• The CAPS LOCK key is a function key.
• The ALT and CMD keys are swapped to replicate the Mac layout.
• RESET is available as Fn+ Right Ctrl + ESC
• Underglow toggle is available as Fn + Q.
• Backlighting toggle is available as Fn + Z
• vim-style arrow key bindings H J K L in layer 1

Initial Installation

I found the instructions to be longer than they had to be, and I ended up having to Google some steps anyway. These are the steps I took to get my keyboard setup, in case you are new to the process.

1. Fork and Clone the qmk_firmware repo locally

# Choose one:
git clone git@github.com:qmk/qmk_firmware.git # OR
git clone https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git

2. Customize your layout by starting with a keymap. I copied the default and changed it to my liking.
3. Before plugging in your keyboard into your computer, hold SPACE and B keys down
4. Holding those keys down, plug the keyboard into your computer, which will put the keyboard in bootlegger mode. Note that if you've done this before, it could be that you need to simply press ESC prior to plugging in the board to put it in Bootlegger mode.
5. Build your hex file and flash your keyboard

make gray_studio/space65:billiams:flash # be in the qmk_firmware directory to do this

Notes:

• If you are using QMK Toolbox, use make gray_studio/space65:<keymap> in the base qmk_firmware directory instead of step 5 above which will create a hex file like space65_billiams.hex which you can then choose in the toolbox and hit flash
• If you accidentally loaded the default keymap, then to RESET the keyboard and kick it into bootloader mode again, hold the ESC key and plug the board in.

Hope this helps!
