- In this video we'll explore how to set up homerow modifications using the usevia app. There are some keycodes to explore, but this simple web can get you quite far in a few minutes.

HRM to me suits better on split ortholinear keyboards but cool to know that you figured it out a way to use it on a regular keyboard, keep going bro!
Hadn’t realized you could program in home row mods via Via. Really cool
Yeah, it's pretty neat! There are some downsides though, mainly that there does not seem to be a way to configure the delay/timeout for detecting when it is a tap vs. a full press down. Other boards/software packages offer more support but I am hoping that VIA will support some of this some more in the future.
Very nice, I didn’t know VIA supports MT
It does!
Thanks for the key codes, I am giving the home row mods a go but typing "as" is slower. I Think I am holding down the a as I start typing the s. Assuming there is a setting to adjust the delay before the hold is active?
Great video!
Suggest exporting your config file to github. Keyboards are not equal and I have frozen mine and had to restore from backup.
PS building your own keyboard is very satisfying
If you check the shownotes you will see my file. You can also download it yourself if you want to replicate it.
And yeah, mine also totally got bricked for no clear reason at some point. So backups can make a bunch of sense.
Holding down keys to press another restrict one hand. I've always preferred one shot keys and sticky layers.
It remains a balance, but something about holding it down did feel more natural to me. Part of this is that I do tend to use the mouse layer a fair bit and this can't be done nicely with a one-shot.
U would love vim lol
I use caps keys for esc because i use vim
Yeah, that also works. This one in particular is configurable in Macs operating system as well as it allows you to reassign the caps key to ESC or a modifier of you choise.
Double tap is available in QMK, which you should definitely get into to customize your board. If you’re already looking at keycodes, then QMK is a small additional step. Not available on Nuphy I think because it’s Bluetooth, but looks like you got some other boards laying around that might be wired.
Is there a simple guide where I could read more about this? Every time I look around I keep missing the obvious quickstart it feels like. j
Note that the nuphy board can also be wired, so that should work I think.
Hello, you already find a better solution for the hrm? I have a lot of accidental activation of the hrm on my keychron. Qmk web also seems like have no option to adjust the timeout.
Afraid not. You could consider learning QMK to see if there something custom there. But alternatively you may want to investigate other boards on ebay. In particular the devices from ZSA all have amazing software.
Great video! Is it possible to increase the number of possible macros? That and double tap are the things that would benefit me most.
Not that I am aware of. I also miss the double-tapping.
@@calmcode-io it's called tap dance, and it should be somewhere in VIA (can't really check, because my keyboard doesnt support via lol), but if it's not, then you could try VIAL, its very cool and has this feature in it, as well as everything VIA features as far as i know.
Thank you! Is Home Row Mods available for Mac too?
It's installed on the keyboard not the OS so will work with anything that takes a keyboard input.
You just need a programmable keyboard.
Downside is if you have a laptop and need to switch between the inbuilt keyboard and your programmable one.
Precisely this. These mods are keyboard dependant and OS independant.
@@TheRich107 thanks!!
