Unable to map new labels with QMK

[JeffDess]

Hi,
I've used keymap-drawer for a couple of ZMK boards but I am trying it for a QMK board and I am having an issue with relabeling keys. I must be doing something wrong, the qmk_keycode_map and raw_binding_map are not having any effect.

I am trying to change the labels of macros, standard and international keycodes. In ZMK, I'd put the macros in raw_binding_map and keycodes in zmk_keycode_map and everything would work just fine. But with this QMK keymap, the qmk_keycode_map and raw_binding_map are not having any effect.

A few details about my setup and what I am trying to do:

• My keymap.c includes keycodes like KC_Q, when I test this in my config, nothing changes in the drawing:

  qmk_remove_keycode_prefix:
    - KC_
  qmk_keycode_map:
    Q: "NOT Q"

• My keymap.c includes keycodes like CA_SLSH, when I test this in my config, I still see CA SLSH in the drawing:

  qmk_remove_keycode_prefix:
    - CA_
  qmk_keycode_map:
    SLSH: "NOT SLSH"

• My keymap.c includes macros named like A_GR, when adding something like this nothing happens:

    raw_binding_map:
      A_GR: 'À'

• I am parsing my keymap with this command:

  qmk c2json -kb fingerpunch/ximi/v2 -km jeffdess --no-cpp | \
  keymap parse -c 10 -q - -o keymap-drawer/ximi_keymap.yaml -l "my layer names..."

• I am sure my config is being used, as changing settings like draw_key_sides changes the drawing.
• I am using QMK user space (does it matter?)

I'd appreciate if I could get any help?
Thanks!

Hey, can you share the output of qmk c2json -kb fingerpunch/ximi/v2 -km jeffdess --no-cpp?

Hi, sure here's the output:

I also have the output file and keymap.c if that can be useful.

Thanks @caksoylar!

Dumb question, but how are you specifying the config file? It doesn't automatically pick up the config from file name etc. so if you are literally running below command it doesn't get used:

qmk c2json -kb fingerpunch/ximi/v2 -km jeffdess --no-cpp | \
keymap parse -c 10 -q - -o keymap-drawer/ximi_keymap.yaml -l "my layer names..."

You'll want to pass it via keymap -c config.yaml:

> cat config.yaml
parse_config:
  qmk_remove_keycode_prefix:
    - KC_
  qmk_keycode_map:
    Q: "NOT Q"
> qmk c2json -kb fingerpunch/ximi/v2 -km jeffdess --no-cpp | \
> keymap -c config.yaml parse -c 10 -q -
layout: {qmk_keyboard: fingerpunch/ximi/v2, layout_name: LAYOUT_5col}
layers:
  L0:
  - [NOT Q, W, F, P, B, J, L, U, Y, SCLN]
# ...

Not dumb at all... I am. 😕
I did an error porting my script from ZMK, the config arg was indeed missing from the keymap command, but not from the draw command. I guess I just copied the first QMK parse command in the readme, then while debugging it afterwards, I was a bit confused the config file was called only while generating the image.

So keymap -c ... parse -c ... instead of keymap parse -c ... does the trick!

Sorry about that, I knew I was doing something wrong here, thanks for pinpointing it!

No worries, glad we got it figured out :)
