Remapping/Reprogramming your Keyboard

If you'd like to change what each key on your keyboard does, this process is called remapping, as you're changing what's called a keymap on your board. There are a few ways this can be done, each with its pros and cons and also varying degree of of difficulty.

What is QMK? ​

First of all, every board at Keebio is compatible with QMK Firmware and are all pre-flashed with a default QMK Firmware and keymap . QMK Firmware is an open-source keyboard firmware, and most keyboards within the mechanical keyboard community use QMK. QMK also encompasses a suite of other tools, such as QMK Configurator and QMK Toolbox .

QMK Firmware has a lots of features, like supporting multiple layers, macros, Mod-Tap, mouse keys, split keyboards, backlighting, RGB, etc., which makes is a popular choice for hobbyists. There are alternative keyboard firmwares out there, but these are not officially supported by Keebio.

Remapping Options ​

There are 3 main options for changing your board's keymap, ordered from least difficult to most difficult to use:

  • VIA Configurator
  • QMK Configurator
  • QMK Firmware build environment

Here are some pros and cons of each method:

  • Pros: Easist to use, instant keymap updates, no flashing firmware required, live lighting controls, layout option controls, macro editor, can remap encoders for some boards
  • Cons: Does not support every board, limit of 4 layers
  • Pros: Stays up to date with QMK firmware, all boards in QMK repository are supported
  • Cons: Need to reflash board to update keymap, can't remap encoders
  • Pros: Can reconfigure encoders, access to more features like tap dance
  • Cons: Can be complex to setup, involves editing code and using Git

VIA Configurator ​

For some older Keebio boards, the VIA firmware pre-flashed to the board does not have encoder remapping enabled, as that feature didn't originally exist. However, new VIA firmware is available now, so check here to see if an update is available for your board: VIA Firmware Upgrades .

For VIA usage instructions, see VIA Usage Guide .

QMK Configurator ​

QMK Firmware Build Environment ​

Setting up a QMK build environment and compiling your own firmware provides the most flexibility in terms of features and control, but it is also the most complicated of the options out there.

Note that not all features of QMK are supported by the VIA Configurator, so if you want to use more advanced features of QMK like Tap Dance, then you'll need to setup a QMK build environment . By default on most VIA-supported keyboards, there is a limit of 4 layers. This can sometimes be increased, but once again, this requires setting up a QMK build environment.

Flashing Your Keyboard ​

If using either QMK Configurator or a QMK Firmware build environment, you'll need to flash the generated .hex/.bin file to your keyboard. See Flashing Firmware for details about doing this.

How to configure QMK keyboards using VIA

VIA and QMK streamline keyboard customization, enabling easy remapping, macro setups, and layer management for a tailored typing experience.

Keyboard enthusiasts have always preferred their own bespoke layout, leading to the development of remapping software and custom keyboards. However, there were some limitations with how you can configure these keyboards and save those settings. QMK and VIA are a great solution for this, offering the ability to remap keys, create macros, and adjust settings for different operating systems with ease, even featuring onboard memory in some cases. This article will guide you through configuring a QMK-supported keyboard using VIA, ensuring you can tailor your typing experience without diving too deep into coding.

How analog optical switches differ from mechanical switches

What are qmk and via.

QMK (Quantum Mechanical Keyboard) Firmware is an open-source software that allows you to customize every aspect of your keyboard, from key bindings to macros. However, QMK requires you to flash your keyboard's controller with new firmware every time you make a change, which can be daunting for some and extremely impractical.

Enter VIA, a user-friendly interface that works as a configurator for the QMK firmware, allowing you to make real-time changes to your keyboard without the need to flash firmware constantly. This combination offers a greater level of customization, from backlight effects and macros to custom keycodes and mouse commands across different keymap layers.

Preparing your keyboard

First things first, you need to ensure your keyboard is compatible with QMK and VIA. VIA supports around 1400 keyboards now. Check the VIA website to see if your model is listed. If it's not, you are probably out of luck, but there is always a probability that you might find the correct JSON file in communities and forums. In this guide, I have used a MonsGeek M1 Wired board. I downloaded the JSON file for this keyboard directly from the manufacturer’s website.

There are two types of JSON files available for download. They are V2 and V3 files. V2 JSON files are simpler to code and modify, but depending on the keyboard, it might miss some features like controls for the rotary encoders and OLED panels. On the other hand, V3 JSON files are more advanced and support these newer features, but they are a bit more complex to code and modify. The availability, variant (V2 or V3), and features of the JSON files depend on the source of the file, which is almost always the manufacturer. Note the version you have downloaded (defined by the source or evident from the file name) before moving on to the next steps.

Ensure that the JSON file you are downloading is free from viruses or other malicious software.

How to access VIA

Now, let's get VIA up and running on your computer. VIA is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and even as a web app, making it accessible to most users. In this guide, I have used the website, but you can choose to go with the apps for your respective platforms. The steps remain the same, irrespective of the method you choose to access VIA.

  • You should now be able to customize your keyboard from the main screen of VIA.

Configuring keybindings using VIA

Now that the setup is complete, you can finally use VIA to change anything about your keyboard, whether keybindings, macros, or lighting.

How to set up and bind Macros using VIA

One of the primary uses of VIA is to design and map Macros. To do so, you have two options. You can record the key strikes to set the macro or code it yourself. If you choose the latter route, you can refer to the QMK website to find out about the key codes. For this guide, I chose to record my keystrokes.

How to manage layers in VIA

Configuring layers in VIA is a clever way to multiply the functionality of your keyboard without adding extra keys. Layers allow a single key to perform multiple functions, depending on the active layer. It's especially useful for compact keyboards that might lack physical space for all desired keys.

Customize lighting using VIA

You can customize the lighting pattern, brightness, and speed from the lighting section.

Saving and loading of customized JSON files

Once you are done with all the customizations, you can also export the settings as a customized JSON file to transfer or backup them. This feature can come in handy if you are working on many mechanical keyboards and prefer having custom settings for all of them. To export the settings, click on the floppy disk-like save button and click on Save. To import a previously saved JSON file, click on the Load button.

Test your configuration

The VIA keyboard tester is an integrated tool that allows users to test each key press in real-time, ensuring all custom configurations are correctly applied and functional. After configuring your keyboard, it's important to test all changes. Type, switch layers, activate macros, and ensure everything works as intended. If something isn't right, VIA makes it easy to adjust settings on the fly.

Final thoughts

With QMK and VIA, customizing your keyboard goes from a daunting task to an intuitive, straightforward process. Whether it's remapping keys, setting up macros, managing layers, or adjusting lighting, VIA equips you with the tools to tailor your keyboard exactly to your needs, without the hassle of constant firmware flashes. The flexibility and real-time customization that VIA offers, combined with QMK's powerful backend, make for a robust setup that caters to both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts alike. As more people pick up interest in customized keyboards , tools like VIA and QMK stand out for their ability to make personalization accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Remember, the key to a fully optimized typing experience lies in exploring, experimenting, and fine-tuning your setup until it's just right.

QMK certified! How to remap keys on M1/M5 using QMK?

Step 1:  Select Your Keyboard : Open the QMK Configurator website at  https://config.qmk.fm/#/monsgeek/m1/LAYOUT_ansi .You can find M5 in the list too.

Step 2:  Select Your Keyboard Layout :  If there is only one layout available, you don’t need to change anything. You could choose ANSI or ISO depending on your keyboard’s layout.

Step 3:  Name Your Keymap :  Give your keymap a name. If you encounter issues during compilation, consider changing the name to avoid conflicts with existing keymaps in the QMK Firmware repository.

Step 4:  Define Your Keymap :

You can enter keycodes in one of three ways:

  • Drag and drop the keycodes onto the layout.
  • Click on an empty spot on the layout, then select the desired keycode.
  • Click on an empty spot on the layout, then press the physical key on your keyboard to assign a keycode.

Hover your mouse over a key to see a short description of the key code. For more detailed information, refer to the Basic Keycode Reference and Advanced Keycode Reference.

If your selected layout doesn’t match your physical build, leave the unused keys blank. If you’re unsure which key is in use, for example, if you have a single backspace key but the LAYOUT_all has 2 keys for backspace, put the same keycode in both locations.

Step 5:  Save Your Keymap for Future Changes:  Once you’re satisfied with your keymap or want to work on it later, press the “Download this QMK Keymap JSON File” button. This will save your keymap to your computer. You can load this .json file in the future by pressing the “Upload a QMK Keymap JSON File” button.

CAUTION: Note that the .json file used here is not the same as the one used for other tools like kbfirmware.com. Using this file with other tools or vice versa may cause issues.

Step 6:  Compile Your Firmware File Press the green “Compile” button.  Once the compilation is complete, you can download the firmware file by clicking the green “Download Firmware” button.

Next Steps:  Flashing Your Keyboard After downloading the firmware file , you’ll need to flash it onto your keyboard. For detailed instructions on flashing your keyboard with the new firmware, refer to the article provided in the  link .

How To Use VIA To Program Your Keyboard

remap keys qmk

Please follow the instructions below to program a Keychron keyboard that supports VIA.

How to Remap a Key on VIA?

1. Connect your keyboard with our cable and click here to open the VIA. (Online VIA can only be opened by browsers based on Chromium currently.)

2. Please download the correct keymap JSON file if the VIA fail to authorize your keyboard. Since it takes time for Github to approve our VIA code submission, some keymap JSON files may not be automatically recognized at the moment.   You can download the keymap JSON file by searching “keymap working on VIA” on the keyboard product page. Or you can go to this link to locate the JSON file for your keyboard. It can be found in the latter portion of the firmware page.

4. Once you have downloaded the keymap JSON file, please go to the VIA, and turn on the "Show Design tab" in the "Settings" tab. (If it's already on, skip this step.)

5. Drag the JSON file into the “Design” tab on the VIA.

6. On the Configure tab, select the KEYMAP section, and click on the key that you want to program, and the key will then flash slowly. Click on a key you want to remap in the BASIC/MEDIA/MACRO/LAYERS/SPECIAL/QMK LIGHTING/CUSTOM section. And it's done. Here is a video example. 

How to create a macro on VIA?

A macro is a series of keys pressed together to perform an action, now, you can program to just use one key to perform the same action, for example, holding Shift+Command+4 (screenshot on macOS) can be done with just one key. Here is how:

1. Go to MACROS on the top left corner of the Configure tab.

2. Search the keycodes that represent the key you want at https://docs.qmk.fm/#/keycodes_basic , then, copy and paste the Aliases on the page onto the VIA.

3. For example, enter {KC_LSFT,KC_LGUI,KC_4} in the Macro 0 box area, and press Save. The M0 key will become Shift+Command+4 (screenshot on macOS).

4. Select the KEYMAP section, click on the key that you want to replace, and the key will then flash slowly on VIA. Go to the MACRO section on the lower-left corner, click the M0 key, and it’s done. Here is a video tutorial:

How to Use Different Layers to Set the Combination Keys

You can customize each key on each layer of your keyboard with VIA, there are two layers for Mac, and two layers for Windows. For example, the Q1 keyboard comes with 81 keys, so you can remap up to 324 keys (81 x 4) you want.

remap keys qmk

The default layer for the keyboard is layer 0. The button M0(1) = layer 1 The button M0(3) = layer 3

Example: Use the layer function in VIA to set power button = fn + INS on macOS.

1. We have the "fn" key (aka MO(1) on VIA). Now we need to set the power button = "fn" + "upper right corner key".

remap keys qmk

2. Click LAYER 1. 3. Click the "ins" key on the upper right corner (the key will then flash slowly). Then, find the "power" key on the SPECIAL section, click it.

remap keys qmk

4. Hold fn and the upper right key to power off your computer.

PS: The shutdown option will normally pop up and let you choose "Shut Down", "Sleep", or "Restart". However, please check if the system has the pop up option on just in case the system shuts down directly and the file is not saved.

How to remap the Bixby Key on your Samsung Galaxy phone

While AI assistants like Google Gemini are gaining popularity, digital assistants like Bixby and Siri are still the most popular options for smartphone users. While these assistants may have different features that set them apart, they also do plenty of routine tasks. These can include launching apps or actions using your voice, asking questions, or identifying objects with your camera. On the Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets, Bixby is baked in. Most other Android phones ship with Google Assistant . And while Samsung continues to enhance Bixby each year, it has yet to persuade many to use it as their default assistant.

Samsung could draw more of a crowd to their Bixby digital assistant one day, but you can turn it off if you don't use it. Once Bixby is turned off, you can remap the dedicated button that comes on some Galaxy phones, or tweak the power button. From the built-in settings menu to third-party apps, there's a method of remapping the Bixby key that will appeal to everyone.

How to totally disable Bixby on your Samsung Galaxy phone

Samsung galaxy phones that have a dedicated bixby button.

Samsung stopped adding a dedicated Bixby key in 2020 with the release of the Galaxy S20 series. If you have a newer Galaxy, Samsung's virtual assistant is integrated into the power button. If you own one of the phones below, please follow the directions listed under the How to remap Bixby's function on phones with a dedicated Bixby key

Phones with a dedicated Bixby key

How to remap bixby's function on samsung galaxy phones without a dedicated bixby key.

Samsung removed the dedicated Bixby key on newer devices and merged its functionality with the power button, including on the latest Samsung Galaxy S24 and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra . To change how Bixby works while using the power button, do the following:

  • Go to Settings > Advanced features > Side key . Close
  • Tap the Double press switch on the right to enable the option.
  • Tap the settings icon next to Open app .
  • Select an app you want to launch when double-pressing the power button.
  • Choose the Power off menu option under the Press and hold section. Now the power button no longer has anything to do with Bixby, reducing your chances of triggering the digital assistant. Close

How to remap Bixby's function with a dedicated Bixby key

The Samsung Galaxy S10 was the last Samsung phone series with a dedicated Bixby key. Similar to the Samsung Galaxy 20 series and beyond, you can still change how the Bixby key works from your system settings menu. However, you'll have fewer options and functionality here than on the newer devices.

Before changing these Bixby key settings on your device, sign in to your Samsung account. If you don't have or want a Samsung account, you can't remap the Bixby key using this method. However, you still can tap into third-party options as a suitable replacement, such as Tasker.

To check out the few Bixby key settings, do the following:

  • Go to Settings > Advanced features > Bixby key .
  • Tap the Get started button to log in with your Samsung account as needed.
  • Choose the Single press to open Bixby option.
  • Select an app to replace the default Bixby key action.
  • Choose the Double press to open Bixby option
  • Select the app you wish to assign to it.

Once you're finished here, you have successfully replaced your Bixby key's default action for single and double-press gestures. If you weren't using it before, you've now made your Bixby key more helpful by adding new features.

Use Tasker to remap the Bixby key for more options

Many third-party apps on the Google Play Store are designed to tweak your Bixby experience. Some are free, and others need to be purchased. They can help you do more than what the stock settings provide, especially on older Samsung Galaxy phones. In this case, we cover how to tweak your Bixby functionality using Tasker, which requires you to purchase the app. However, Tasker is a powerful tool that allows you to create unique custom Bixby key-press actions, making it more than worth the price.

How to install and set up the Tasker app

  • Download the Tasker app from the Google Play Store.
  • Tap the Get started button to log in with your Samsung account.
  • Tap Double press to open Bixby , then choose Use single press .
  • Select Open app , then tap the Settings icon on the right.
  • Choose the Tasker Secondary app.
  • Open the main Tasker app, then select Tasky to make the process easier. Close
  • Accept all the terms and system permissions by checking the boxes.
  • Tap the Proceed button at the bottom to continue with Tasker. Close

You can also use Tasker on newer Samsung Galaxy phones that don't have a dedicated Bixby key to customize your Bixby actions. Since Tasker allows you to create unlimited possibilities, you have more flexibility here than relying only on the built-in system settings. All you need to do is set your Open app side key option to the Tasker Secondary app.

How to install the Bixby Remap routine

  • Run through the quick tutorial or tap the Skip All button to continue.
  • Tap X on the Basics filter at the top to remove it.
  • Search for the term bixby , then tap the Enter key.
  • From the Bixby Remap entry on the list, tap the Download icon on the right.
  • Sign in with the Google account you want to use with Tasker. Close
  • Tap Yes to continue the installation for Bixby Remap.
  • Bixby Remap is enabled and ready to go for the next part. Close

How to change your Bixby key action with Bixby Remap

  • Tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner, then choose Switch To Tasker .
  • Dismiss the tip that popups up by tapping No .
  • Tap the Bixby Remap tab in the lower-left corner, then select the Bixby Remap profile. Close
  • Tap Voice Command , then tap the + button in the lower-right corner. Close
  • The Select Action Category screen allows you to replace the default Bixby key function with any desired action. For example, if the Google Assistant app is installed, go to App > Launch App > Assistant . This makes it easy to summon Google Assistant on your Samsung phone.
  • On the Task Edit page, long-press the Voice Command entry and tap the scissors icon to remove it. This was simply an empty task meant to be replaced with your custom action. Close
  • Tap the back arrow , then tap the checkmark to save and activate your profile.
  • Pressing the Bixby key now launches your selected custom action. Close

Swapping out Bixby opens up a new world of possibilities

Newer Samsung Galaxy phones rely on the power button to help you customize and extend your Bixby actions. However, the older devices with a dedicated Bixby key have fewer options, which is where Tasker comes into play. If you don't typically use the Bixby digital assistant on your Samsung phone, you can always find a different purpose for its key. Instead, you can quickly launch one of your favorite apps, create custom actions, or summon other digital assistants. No matter the method used, there are multiple options to tweak your Bixby experience.

Samsung Galaxy phones typically come with some unwanted apps you'll likely never use, but learning how to delete Samsung apps from your phone can be beneficial. We cover all the methods you can use to eliminate as many preinstalled apps from your device as possible.
