Qmk_firmware: Can't find a JSON default layout file to import for Massdrop ctrl keyboard

Created on 19 Oct 2018  Â·  9Comments  Â·  Source: qmk/qmk_firmware

I'm trying to use QMK Configurator to change my keyboard configuration but Im at a loss since it doesn't have a default layout to load and I can't find a JSON default layout file to import either. Anyone know how I can do this?

@just-another-jxliu That file is for a different purpose; it's not for keymaps.

@jamesalmeida I can file a PR to the Configurator repo (it's not in qmk/qmk_firmware) that adds a default for the CTRL. Give me a bit.

To clarify, the default keymap in the Configurator isn't handled by QMK Firmware. It's actually files added to the Configurator repo. So there is a bit of a disconnect there.

This one? https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/massdrop/ctrl/info.json

At first I thought this was it too but it's not the right file.

Thank you!

@jamesalmeida Specifically, you'd need to add a layout here: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_configurator/tree/master/keymaps

Once that's done, then the "load default" button will work.

PR is up. :arrow_up:

PR is merged.

  1. https://config.qmk.fm/#/massdrop/ctrl/LAYOUT
  2. Click "Load Default"
  3. Edit as needed. Compile, Download, whatever.

Awesome.

Closing this issue since it should be resolved.
