A keymap editor for the HHKB Professional on Linux — what PFU's Windows/Mac-only
|
|
tool does, in a browser. It reads and rewrites the keyboard over the keyboard's
|
|
own USB-HID protocol; no firmware patching.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Requires
|
|
|
|
- **Go** 1.20+ to build — standard library only (no cgo, no Node).
|
|
- A **browser**.
|
|
- `doas` (or `sudo`) **once**, to let your user open `/dev/hidraw*`.
|
|
|
|
## Run
|
|
|
|
./run.sh
|
|
|
|
Builds, grants device access the first time (one `doas` prompt), serves
|
|
<http://127.0.0.1:8080>, and opens it. Later runs need no password.
|
|
|
|
Change the port with `-port` (e.g. `./run.sh -port 9000`).
|
|
|
|
By hand, if you prefer: `go build -o hhkb-web ./cmd/hhkb-web && ./hhkb-web`.
|
|
|
|
## Device access
|
|
|
|
The vendor interface is root-only by default; `run.sh` installs this rule for you
|
|
(use `sudo` if you have no `doas`):
|
|
|
|
doas mkdir -p /etc/udev/rules.d
|
|
echo 'KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04fe", MODE="0660", GROUP="input"' | doas tee /etc/udev/rules.d/70-hhkb.rules
|
|
doas udevadm control --reload-rules && doas udevadm trigger
|
|
|
|
You must be in the `input` group. Then `ls -l /dev/hidraw3` reads `root input`.
|
|
|
|
## Use
|
|
|
|
It auto-detects the model and reads your keymap on connect. Click a key, pick a
|
|
keycode, then **Write**. The **Fn** tab edits the Fn layer (`Fn + [` → Up).
|
|
**Read** reloads, **Reset** restores defaults, **Save/Load** are JSON, **Key
|
|
test** highlights presses while the page is focused. Bottom-row Alt/GUI follow
|
|
the keyboard's HHK/Mac mode and come from the live read.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
internal/hhkb/ protocol + data, no UI, no cgo
|
|
cmd/hhkb-web/ web server + embedded UI
|
|
doc/protocol.md the wire protocol
