Kinesis keyboard

QMK firmware for kinT + Teensy 4.1 controller

QMK Configurator: https://config.qmk.fm/#/kinesis/kint41

Import keymap configuration JSON file from URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DanSchoppe/dotfiles/main/kinesis-kint41-layout.json

Make any adjustments, then download JSON file. Unfortunately the QMK Configurator doesn't support kinT 4.1 out of the box: qmk/qmk_firmware#16440

With qmk set up locally:

$ qmk compile -c kinesis-kint41-layout.json
...
Creating load file for flashing: .build/kinesis_kint41_dan-2022-06-30.hex                           [OK]
Copying kinesis_kint41_dan-2022-06-30.hex to qmk_firmware folder                                    [OK]
(Firmware size check does not yet support cortex-m4; skipping)

Flash .hex to Teensy. Reboot keyboard to run new firmware.

Audible tones

Toggle: Progrm + hyphen The keyboard includes change-of-state tones for Caps Lock (A), Num Lock (1), Keypad, Scroll Lock (9) and Insert. When the keyboard is used with a PC, tones sound twice when a tonelinked action (e.g. Caps Lock) is turned on, and once when it is turned off.

Key click

Toggle: Progrm + backslash
By default, the keyboard includes an audible key click for all keys, including the function keys. To turn off the key click, hold down Progrm and press the Backslash key (“\”) located just below the hyphen key). If you wish to turn on the key click again, simply repeat the process
