Hello there, and welcome to this much-overdue UHK replace!
Agent and the UHK firmware have been getting more and more highly effective, however we have not executed an excellent job showcasing these capabilities. Fortunately, John got here to the rescue and created a superb YouTube tutorial that includes the next factors:
- 00:00 What are good macros?
- 01:02 Twin perform backtick
- 02:58 Particular macros for initialization and keymap modifications
- 03:55 OS-specific settings by keymap
- 04:47 Capslock shift
- 05:38 Document macro and playback to keep away from tedious repetition
- 06:31 Reassign keymap throughout alt-tab to shut apps with one hand
- 07:52 Operate keys EVERYWHERE
- 09:04 Delete line and easy-to-use macro wizard type
- 09:24 Mouse jiggler to keep away from display timeouts
- 10:48 Gaming macro shift stroll faucet or maintain
- 11:25 One shot modifier for fluid typing
- 11:58 Creating your macros, group assist, and GPT4
John has additionally made these macros out there on a devoted GitHub web page, so you possibly can simply copy-paste them into Agent.
Talking of Agent, we have been including some new options value mentioning, particularly within the context of good macros. See the next screenshot.
As you possibly can see, we have added syntax highlighting and autocomplete. Autocomplete is totally applied, utilizing the precise grammar and a generic parser. As such, its completions must be near 100% contextually correct. It is also value mentioning that Agent pulls the grammar of the precise firmware revision truly used.
Agent additionally shows the error of a macro I deliberately made when saving the configuration. Clicking on the error makes the cursor leap to the related place of the affected macro. Thanks to those enhancements, writing your macros is simpler than ever.
Sensible macros are a giant deal as a result of they allow options historically solely doable with QMK and ZMK in a extremely built-in method with out putting in a toolchain. If you wish to study extra about good macros, the next sources must be helpful:
- good macro consumer information – a light-weight introduction to primary ideas, together with many examples
- good macro reference handbook – an exhaustive (though dry and formal) listing of all instructions
- The discussion board’s “my configuration” and “configuration query” classes include many examples and are the place to share your concepts and get assist with their implementation.
- Agent has an built-in, interactive good macro reference that largely describes configuration instructions. See the “good macro reference” tab on the best facet of the earlier screenshot. This facet pane will ultimately embody all of the good macro documentation.
Lastly, I wish to share two latest UHK critiques. The primary was made by John, and in his true model, he is executed a deep dive that includes Riser, the palm rests, the modules, the keycaps and switches, and plenty of layout-related and good macro-related matters, even gaming.
Evan has additionally made a UHK evaluate, largely that includes the ergonomic advantages and equipment of the UHK, particularly the modules.
That is it for now! I hope you discovered this replace helpful. Discuss to you later!
