So I should be getting a PiantorFerris Sweep* from Beekeeb in a number of weeks and I thought I would get a head start and plan my layout - or at least one version of it, influenced heavily by Ben Vallack’s video about avoiding press-and-hold mechanics.

Still plenty of fiddling to do. I want to move the WASD-style cursor keys in L3 onto my first three fingers for sure. In fact I’ve already changed it and made room for insert and added shift as a home key mod on the right. God this is addictive.

*ETA: I am, of course, talking about a Ferris Sweep with two thumb keys as depicted in the drawings not a Piantor, which I was also considering. I guess I was swayed by the alliteration.

      Google Sheets with lots of cell merges. I’ll share the template doc when I’m at my computer later. 👍

        Perhaps not exactly what you’re looking for, but I’d check out keymap-drawer. I’ve been using this to draw out my keymaps and it’s been great!

            This is not my tool by the way. Just one I’ve found. Wanted to make sure I wasn’t being given credit when all I did was stumble upon it 😉

        I’ve used QMK configurator to sketch out keymaps before. You can download your keymap as JSON file and later upload it again to make more changes, or save a few different versions. It can even compile your firmware, but I’ve not used that feature. No programming required if you only use basic QMK features. It supports Piantor with a 3x5 layout: https://config.qmk.fm/#/beekeeb/piantor/LAYOUT_split_3x5_3
