Message when opening the board with the keymap editor

[RightOpp]

When plugging in the corne and trying open it from the drop down menu Getting the message - Is this a zmk-config repo?
Hi there! The repository you're trying to load from doesn't have a defined config directory. Right now this application is expecting to look at that directory to discover keymaps and other metadata.

The keymap editor opens the Glove80 fine so looking for a solution. The same corne opens just fine in ZMK Studio so does not seem to be an issue with Corne. Thanks

Could you link me to the corne repo you're trying to load in the editor?

[RightOpp]

Hi Nick, trying to work out how do do that. Is there a share option?

[RightOpp]

Could you also perhaps clarify what I need to do once it's forked in case I am missing a step. ... thanks

[nickcoutsos]

If the repo is public you can just paste the URL here. If it's private you could alternatively link me to the repo you'd forked it from (assuming you haven't changed too much yet).

Once you've forked the repo you can add it similarly to how you would've added your Glove80. In the app, open the Repo dropdown and there should be a button to add/remove repositories, that should take you through the process.

Hi Nick, here it is - https://github.com/RightOpp/keymap-editor

So I now need to add it/ create a new repository? I can't recall what I did for the Glove80 as stumbled around a bit!

[nickcoutsos]

Ooh, ok, that repo is for for the app. You don't need to bother with that, instead you'll want a repo for a corne keyboard.

I see this one in your public repositories, is that not working for you?

[RightOpp]

Thanks Nick. I'm stuck at how I open it in a GUI interface so I get something like ZMK Studio etc?

[RightOpp]

I think the issue is that that corne is not from typeractive and he has set a keycombo to access things?

[RightOpp]

and I should have said that I am looking to use this you put together. https://nickcoutsos.github.io/keymap-editor/ Coming from using VIA and VIAL, ZMK is a steep learning curve!

I thought I needed to fork your repo and then somehow load that in a GUI like yours above. I'm a bit lost...

[nickcoutsos]

Sorry, trying to follow each point... are you saying your corne is from Typeractive? If so you can fork from their zmk-config repo here: https://github.com/typeractivexyz/corne-wireless-view-zmk-config

It sounds like you'd have an easier time with ZMK Studio, though. This app has the complexity of managing your repo on GitHub and expects you to understand more of the ins and outs of ZMK.

[RightOpp]

Yes but good news is I found a doc from another guy that has used your repo and got it working after some trial and error. I just wasn't sure how to take what was on Github to the stage of bringing up a GUI.
Thanks for your all your help Nick!
