Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

I also own the Cheapino and made myself a keymap which is fully working. You can have a look at it here. Hooe that helps at least some bit.
Regarding the qmk toolbox: You can take the json file from one of the keymaps in tompis qmk_firmware repository and upload it in qmk toolbox. Then you can have the correct layout and you can configure it to your liking.
Ah! I just recompiled, used your encoder config and the Henrik keymap, it is almost perfect.
Many thanks, the keyboard works really well now and I'll be modifying the keymap to my needs, it's already so close to what I need!
I'll move the NUM layer key to the left so I can enter numbers without lifting my mouse hand. :D
Cool! I'm happy it actually helped you :)
