Firmware works after using builder tool
Device shows up
When I try to connect I get NotAllowedError: Failed to open the device.
I went to chrome privacy settings and made sure HID, USB, and port permissions are not blocked as per google FAQ.
Chrome dev console doesn't have any other errors.
Title. I know the online firmware builder exists, but I'd prefer to build the firmware myself locally.

When I'm not writing with steno, I use the Workman keyboard layout. But Javelin doesn't support this layout, which means I have to switch my computer's input method back to QWERTY every time I want to return to my steno machine. I'd appreciate it if Javelin could save me this step :)
Hello, can you please help me or let me know where else I should ask about this? I am a new Javelin Steno user and am having a hard time with the Keyboard Layout options.
The Javelin keyboard works unlike any other keyboard I've used in regards to the Keyboard Layout options. With QMK or ZMK for example, selecting a Dvorak layout means the keyboard's QWERTY layer will be replaced with a Dvorak layer. This enables the user to type in their preferred layout without having to change the OS default. This does not seem to be the case with Javelin. Below is what I've observed.
Situation No. 1 - If Javelin's Keyboard Layout is Dvorak & OS Dvorak keymap is not activated:
Situation No. 2 - If Javelin's Keyboard Layout is Dvorak & the OS Dvorak keymap is activated:
Situation No. 3 - If Javelin's Keyboard Layout is not Dvorak & OS Dvorak keymap is activated:
I think I understand what's going on here. It looks like the Keyboard Layout options do not provide "hardware" implementations of those layouts, but instead, those options are so the Javelin firmware will be able to output the correct keys whenever those layers are activated.
The Javelin firmware would be a lot more useful to me if it worked more seamlessly with my preferred Keyboard Layout. Are either of these feasible?
I'm running into the limits of what Plover is able to support (x11's slow death will probably drag Plover's linux client with it,) but I already bought a TinyMod, which has no onboard memory.
However, I do use a Planck EZ, which has... admittedly very limited memory. ZSA told me direct in an email that it has 256kb of memory.
It doesn't sound good, but with an extremely minimal dictionary, I did see someone build a 400kb image. Is it possible to cut that down further, so it fits? What would have to be done?

Expected: Δ
Note, using emily's symbols in plover does output the Δ
as expected.
Also, not sure if this is related but chording SKWHEUFB
for the ∞
symbol in Visual Code, the Edit menu opens and no symbol is added. Using plover does output the symbol as expected.
Hi Jeffrey, love your work on Javelin and looking forward to using it when I get my Polyglot. 🙂
I've been using Colemak-DH alongside steno for almost a year now and was hoping to add Colemak-DH support to Javelin. If you're not familiar, it's a variant on Colemak that's frequently recommended for being more ergonomic, especially the D and H keys.
It's only a few keys different from Colemak, but I took the liberty of putting together a layout table to save you some time (though of course it's not the only change needed to add a layout).
I did see the discussion on #3, so didn't put together a pull request, but if you're busy or otherwise accepting PRs now I can try to do that instead.
Please let me know if this would be possible to add! Zero rush, of course, and thanks for all your work.
const KeyboardLayoutTable COLEMAK_DH_LAYOUT_TABLE = {
.values = {
0, 1, 2, 3,
KeyCode::A, KeyCode::T, KeyCode::C, KeyCode::V, // A-D
KeyCode::K, KeyCode::E, KeyCode::G, KeyCode::M, // E-H
KeyCode::L, KeyCode::Y, KeyCode::N, KeyCode::U, // I-L
KeyCode::H, KeyCode::J, KeyCode::SEMICOLON, KeyCode::R, // M-P
KeyCode::Q, KeyCode::S, KeyCode::D, KeyCode::F, // Q-T
KeyCode::I, KeyCode::B, KeyCode::W, KeyCode::X, // U-X
KeyCode::O, KeyCode::Z, 30, 31, // Y-Z, 1-2
32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39,
40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47,

Using the online firmware builder tool, apologies if this is not the correct repo to report this issue.
Expected behavior (happens correctly using jeff-numbers.py on Plover):
19/59EUR
-> MCMXCV
Actual behavior using javelin-steno firmware:
19/59EUR
-> 19 XCV
A similar thing happens with the -G suffix to convert to words and the -W suffix for ordinals: only the second stroke is converted.
Dollar amount conversion appears to work correctly however.
Even with all other dictionaries disabled the issue persists.
I was just exploring the key select options in visual editor and noticed unless I'm mistaken there's no parentheses keys
