ZMK Editor

The tool enables ZMK keymap and layout design by collecting board model, layout geometry, and keycode mappings, then generating a schema-compliant configuration. It validates against known keycodes and layer rules, producing a stable JSON structure and export-ready artifacts. Audience includes keyboard developers, enthusiasts, and small makers.

Conceptually, inputs are combined via a layer stack, overlays resolve in priority order, and the final output is a machine-readable config suitable for integration into the ZMK build workflow. The system supports multiple layers, custom keycodes, and per-layer properties, with clear diagnostics when definitions collide or reference undefined keys.

Unique value comes from integrated validation, conflict detection, and export formats aligned with ZMK requirements. Typical use cases include designing a new board, revising a keymap, or reproducing a layout for multiple revisions. Core features include schema validation, layer merging, layout-to-keymap translation, and artifact export. Users benefit from reproducible configurations, faster iteration, and reduced manual error. Use cases span enthusiast projects, small-batch keyboards, and production pilots where consistent keymaps are essential.
