Firmware and hardware for a 15-key chorded computer keyboard

NaN-15 -- a 15-key chorded computer keyboard ============================================

The firmware is based on TMK; see ./firmware/.

In addition to its main (chorded) input mode, a few special layers are available:

- a number pad, - a set of navigation keys, - a mouse emulation layer, - a macro pad. (Macro recording is done in chorded mode.)

On these layers, keycodes are registered in the usual way, i.e. once a key is pressed.
