🎓 Dr. Freemo 🇳🇱 @freemo@social.cleverlibre.org

@freepeoplesfreepress I never took it that way, but thank you.

@FluentInFinance That part you will get a lot of I am sure. As I said feel free to reach out if you need anything too.

@FluentInFinance Well we are a friendly bunch. Though a glance at your profile and I hate to tell you there is a strong anti-capitalist lean here. That said if you need any help just let me know, always happy to help a new comer.

Best of luck to you.

For transparency only reason I am not following is I generally avoid commercial or advertising profiles. In addition your following to follower count is going to raise some huge red flags to folks here. Some servers may even ban you for "follow spam", so be careful there.

Otherwise I really do wish you the best here.

@freepeoplesfreepress To each their own. I myself have no problem openly discussing sexually explicit material. There are some courtesies one might provide where an image (which can be glanced at accidentally) should of course be obstructed. But nonsexist sexualized language I have absolutely no problem with.

Be warned at some point you will hear something more graphic out of my mouth for sure.

That said of course, I respect whatever limits you wish to put on your own language, or what language you decide to read

@freepeoplesfreepress I agree with that.

@futurebird Ok no worries... well I know my keyboard, yours, and all QMK keyboards do support this, but the feature needs to be turned on in your firmware and I am only uncertain about if via will accept the command (but im pretty sure it will)... so if you want it as a seperate device you may want to still get a qmk based keyboard... I am about 3 minutes away from having it working here on my computer just to make sure im not lying to you.

Let me know if i can be of any more help.

@FluentInFinance

@futurebird Its because you dont have those special options enabled int he firmware then, because your keyboard can support it in theory it just needs an updated firmware then with the options turned on.

I can compile a firmware for you, or make a branch for you so you can see the code and download it yourself, if you'd like.

@futurebird Yes that will wipe the EEPROM... not suggesting you use it, i am ppointing out one of the special codes that wont be in the drop down but does show confirm.

If you did use it it would just mean you'd have to restore from via.

I am sorry I should have been more clear and told you it is an example of a special keycode but not one I was suggesting you use.

@futurebird

FYI the following example is from the docs so should be valid

UC(0x40B)

@futurebird I dont use the unicode feature myself, but like i said i am happy to enable it and try to figure it out with you. When i said earlier that you can confirm codes not in the dropdown i mean non-unicode keycodes that via doesnt know about but the keyboard accepts (there are quite a few I can give some examples).

As a non-unicode example I use QK_CLEAR_EEPROM which only works if you have an eeprom but if you do then when you type it in it wont be in the drop down but it will accept it and allow you to confirm...

Give me about 5 or 10 minutes to recode, compile, and flash a firmware with via and unicode on (i turn via off on my keyboard) and i can test it for you a bit on my end to give you better answers.

@futurebird if you enter a code the keyboard accepts but is not in via it wont be in the drop down but will let you hit confirm. If the code is not accepted by the keyboard or int he drop down then confirm will not highlight.

So either you entered it in in the wrong format, or yout unicode support isnt enabled in your firmware, or maybe via doesnt support unicode despite the firmware supporting it...one of the three.

Depending on how much time you want to invest i am sure we can get unicode support going for you if your willing to flash a new firmware (while I'd be happy to compile it for you for security reasons i do recommend you compile your own since I wouldnt expect you to trust me and I could do a lot of harm)

@futurebird I just added something not in the drop down, but its not unicode... so I know you can do that much...

But give me a minute ill compile a new firmware, flash it, and see if i can do it via via... if via doesnt support it you can always hard code your keymap and that for sure works. and even if you hard code it you can still use via to override later.

@futurebird

Give me a minute. I can compile a new firmware and flash it into my keyboard to add uniboard support and see if it works...

But yea it wont be in the drop down, that is expected (I have used via to add codes that arent in the drop down). You just want to type it in as UC(<codepoint>) the link I sent shows the format (hex decimal I think) then the confirm button should show up even if it wasnt in the drop down.

@rlamacraft

@futurebird

The info is here, but it isnt specific to via (but I use via and know it can transfer over if the firmware supports it):

@rlamacraft

@FluentInFinance Hi there, got your follow, thank you. Do you intend to interact with comments and people from this account, or will it be post-only?

Best of luck to you

@futurebird

You dont add the code directly, The format is UC(<codepoint>) you dont put in the codepoint direct.

@rlamacraft

@futurebird
I am somewhat certain you can use via, it jsut doesnt offer the unicode keys on the graphical side.. you would have to select the "any" key on via and then add the unicode keycode directly.. but yea you should be able to do it with via directly.

The caveat is if your keyboard has unicode turned on by default. If it doesnt then you will need to compile one once and then can use VIA.

If you do need to compile your own firmware it is **very** easy and id be happy to help you.

@rlamacraft

@futurebird

To clarify you have layers and they support unicode. You can reconfigure individual keys to be any unicode you want quickly and easily via a web app that talks to your keyboard. It works as-is on linux with no drivers. Being open source if you want to get the unicode in there through some unusual means then you have the ability to do that with a little custom coding.

But yea you can pretty much get any unicode on any key you want, ir natively supports unicode characters with a single tap.
