When I use ZMK_UNICODE_SINGLE(euro_sign, N2, N0, A, C), the output of the keyboard is u20ac instead of €.

My chip is Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 Sense, my computer is a Mac mini with macOS 14.

Any help is appreciated.

My profile.

So after long while I could refrence the files, but I can not get them to work, every time i try to build with them I get this error
devicetree error: /tmp/zmk-config/config/german.dtsi:6 (column 1): parse error: expected '/' or label reference (&foo)
When I remove the unicode, there is no problem building it and my repo: https://github.com/haShinui/zmk_test
Any idea how to fix this?

I have setup zmk-nodefree-config to work with HOST_OS 2 / macOS and I'm using the Unicode Hex Input. The keyboard is connected via bluetooth, I have CONFIG_ZMK_BLE_PASSKEY_ENTRY enabled.

Now every once in a while, when typing my ZMK_UNICODE_PAIR the connection suddenly closes. The Mac shows that the keyboard is disconnected and the computer does not take any inputs from either halve.

I then have to remove the connection on the Mac "Forget...", remove the profile on the keyboard and connect again. It then works again.

This only happens sometime and cannot be reproduced consistently, however, it often occurs when I press another letter immediately after the ZMK_UNICODE_PAIR. It seems to me, that while sending the unicode sequence, inbetween it tries to send the other letter I pressed and then is stuck.

Does anyone else have this problem and is there a solution to it?

Thanks.

It would be useful the be able to have a windows and linux version of a unicode macro at the same time, so you can toggle depending on what system the keyboard is connected to

Thank you for these macros, they looks great. Would you mind adding a LICENSE like MIT?

Hello urob,

i have created a custom shield for my 3d printed handwired corne keyboard. That works until I would like to integrate the nodefree submodule and build it via github actions. Build error when building it tries to find "3dpcorne" shield from the official keyboards. It does not recognize the shield within the repository for building the firmware. How can i build the firmware with the custom shield?

The shifted version of behaviors created with ZMK_UNICODE_PAIR for Linux does not work correctly.

As a workaround, one can replace helper.h from the main branch with helper.h from the unicode_linux branch. Caveat: One must use LEFT_SHIFT to trigger the shifted version of behaviors created with the unicode_linux version of ZMK_UNICODE_PAIR. Using RIGHT_SHIFT will result in garbled unicode sequences.

Thanks a lot for sharing your setup, it is extremely helpful! One thing I noticed is that if you use an OLED widget, it pulls the name of the current layer from the zmk layer label. I know adding this would be a breaking change, so I could see adding this as either:

1. a new param to ZMK_LAYER
2. a copy of ZMK_LAYER w/ the new param but named ZMK_LAYER_LABELED instead like this

If you want this added, I'm happy to put up a PR for whichever fits better with your direction.

I have a tried a few things, but nothing work for now.
I am on Windows 11, using a nice!nanov2 Corne 42 keys.

First try: macros are printed on screen but not the char.
Second try: I use WinCompose but it does not solves the problem.
Third try: I set the HOST_OS variable to 2. Now macros are not printed, but nothing is at all. When not on an input field, I have a typical Windows sound, but I don't really know which shortcut it is trying to do.

Here is a snippet with relevant code from my config:

#include <behaviors.dtsi>
#include <dt-bindings/zmk/keys.h>
#include <dt-bindings/zmk/bt.h>

#define HOST_OS 2 // To use "press LALT"

#include "../zmk-nodefree-config/helper.h"
#include "../zmk-nodefree-config/keypos_def/keypos_42keys.h"              // keyposition helpers
#include "../zmk-nodefree-config/international_chars/french.dtsi"

...

/ {
   keymap {
      compatible = "zmk,keymap";
         
         ...
         
         accents {
            bindings = <
___ ___              ___             &fr_ae          &fr_oe        ___              /**/ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
___ &fr_a_circumflex &fr_a_grave     &fr_e_grave     &fr_e_acute   &fr_e_circumflex /**/ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
___ &fr_o_circumflex &fr_i_diaeresis &fr_e_diaeresis &fr_c_cedilla ___              /**/ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
                                                                        ___ ___ ___ /**/ ___ ___ ___
            >;
         };
   };
};

Link to my config in case it helps : https://github.com/lou-bi/zmk-config/blob/8130b7838f5ea5f3f71ea4a0fea252d06ca8b821/config/corne.keymap#L82

Sorry if its just a huge nooby problem, already solved, and that i just didn't try hard enough.

trying to build using Github workflows, I get the following error:

 devicetree error: /__w/zmk-config/zmk-config/config/kyria_rev3.keymap:85 (column 132): parse error: expected number or parenthesized expression

I was able to successfully build using a default keymap

Working from this repo (https://github.com/urob/zmk-config) and trying to use unicode pair functions through my Glove80, I followed the instructions and set the correct OS in base.keymap as such:

#include <behaviors.dtsi>
#include <dt-bindings/zmk/keys.h>
#include <dt-bindings/zmk/bt.h>

#define HOST_OS 1 // Linux
#include "../zmk-nodefree-config/helper.h"
#include "../zmk-nodefree-config/international_chars/greek.dtsi"

But upon pressing one of the keys with the greek letters, this is what gets inputted by my keyboard (as recorded by xev):

108 Alt_R
30  u
19  0
12  3
54  c
16  7
36  Return

This looks like the correct way to input unicode using Alt-codes, so perhaps the OS setting isn't being read?

When I try to write unicode macros, I get this error during the update: macro "ZMK_UNICODE_PAIR" requires 9 arguments, but ...

what's wrong here? I can't figure it out ... thx

On my Corne 42, for french accents, I've notice that when using dead key, it works intermittently.
Xudongz on Discord did help me tracking the issue, and it works well when using the &kp APOS + &kp x code, but sometimes works, sometimes not with &kp APOS + &hmr x x.
Is there some kind of setting to adjust to be able to use both your timeless HRM and the dead key ?
I can give more details if needed, but I don't think the debug process was relevant

I tried to implement the unicode function for german umlaute and just can't get the build done. It always fails with the following message:
devicetree error: /__w/zmk-config/zmk-config/config/german.dtsi:2 (column 84): parse error: malformed value

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I would like to use the german umlauts with Windows 10.

To achive this, I added with #include the files helper.h and german.dtsi to the keymap-file.
I would then expect &de_ae to be recognized as an ä, but I get u00e4 instead. So basicly the Unicode, but not the character for it.

Any idea what I have misconfigured?

Depending on the application, CTRL and SHIFT might need to be pressed for the whole sequence (except for the terminating SPACE). Here's the script I'm using right now,

ZMK_BEHAVIOR(iris_sep, macro,
    wait-ms = <5>;
    tap-ms = <5>;
    bindings = <&macro_press &kp LCTRL &kp LSHFT> ,
               <&macro_tap &kp U &kp N2 &kp N2 &kp N1 &kp N7 &kp SPACE> ,
               <&macro_release &kp LSHFT &kp LCTRL>;
)

For my limited test (well, Firefox, thunderbird, and Emacs), "pressing throughout" style works for all of them, but the current macro doesn't work in Emacs.

I tried gcc -E corne.keymap but nothing happened

ZMK_BEHAVIOR(tmux_left, macro,
    wait-ms = <0>;
    tap-ms = <5>;
    bindings = <&kp LC(A) &kp H>;
)

I noticed that the macro only register the first keypress.

I'm trying to create a full layout of Ukrainian characters, creating ukrainian.dtsi similar to the ones in this repo (should be available https://github.com/vlnn/samoklava-zmk-config/blob/test-zmk-nodefree-config/zmk-nodefree-config/international_chars/ukrainian.dtsi). It mostly works -- except several, well, exceptions:

ZMK_UNICODE_PAIR(ua_a, N0, N4, N3, N0, N0, N4, N1, N0) // а/А
and
ZMK_UNICODE_PAIR(ua_r, N0, N4, N4, N0, N0, N4, N2, N0) // р/Р

They are just ignored on my MacBook. Any hints/ideas/proposals on how to work this through/around?

I'm trying to use your amazing timeless homerow mod on my Kinesis 360 by using your adv360-demo-config repository as a base and as a first step trying to add zmk-nodefree-config.

I've added the zmk-nodefree-config repository as a submodule to the adv360-demo-config root but builds fail with:
/__w/adv360-demo-config/adv360-demo-config/config/adv360pro.keymap:8:10: fatal error: ../zmk-nodefree-config/helper.h: No such file or directory

Here is the build: https://github.com/tymm/adv360-demo-config/actions/runs/5708421380/job/15466158281
And here is the underlying commit: urob/adv360-demo-config@e2182fe

Thank you for your great work.
