Qmk Compatability
Thinking of getting the Corne Choc with Nano but concerned with compatibility of my keymap.c file I have built with QMK. Is there any way to create an emulator to test out whether my config will be compatible?
I am using:
One Shot Layers / Modifiers
Layer and Mod Tap
Custom Tapping Terms
Tap Dance (for keys to do copy/paste when held)
Chained Modifiers
Ignore Mod Tap Interrupt (specifically for a dual Shift-Space key)

The Corne Wireless uses ZMK firmware, which is different from QMK. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct way to run a QMK keymap in ZMK, as they have different architectures and features. However, you can manually translate your QMK configurations to ZMK.
Here are some steps to help you with the transition:
1. Review ZMK Documentation: Familiarize yourself with ZMK's features and how they compare to QMK. You can find the ZMK documentation here.
2. Keymap Translation: You'll need to manually convert your QMK
keymap.c file to ZMK's format. ZMK uses a different syntax and structure, so you'll have to adapt your key definitions and layers accordingly.
3. Feature Compatibility:
- One Shot Layers/Modifiers: ZMK supports one-shot modifiers, but you may need to define them differently.
- Layer and Mod Tap: ZMK has similar functionality, but the implementation may vary.
- Custom Tapping Terms: You can define custom tapping terms in ZMK, but you'll need to check the syntax.
- Tap Dance: ZMK has a tap dance feature, but it may require a different setup.
- Chained Modifiers: This feature is supported in ZMK, but again, the implementation will differ.
- Ignore Mod Tap Interrupt: You can achieve similar functionality in ZMK, but you'll need to adapt the logic.
4. Testing Your Configuration: Once you've translated your keymap, you can use ZMK Studio to test and customize your keymap layers without flashing new firmware. This allows you to see how your keymap behaves in real-time.
If you need further assistance with specific features or translating your keymap, feel free to ask!
