That's cool. I've got my fkeys on a layer along with numpad.

Do you have a key map by any chance, since we have similar layouts.

My keymap is a little bit all over the place. I started reorganizing around some ideas from Miryoku, though it's still a bit of a work-in-progress.

This is cool to see. I struggled with how to set the layers on my Waka since it's my first QMK/VIA compatible board, and I was really wishing I could see what other people came up with.

I learned a lot/got plenty of ideas by browsing user keymaps in the QMK repo as some users commit them to the central repo. For example, you might find some user mappings at keyboards/mechwild/waka60/keymaps/. Folks will sometimes include a nice readme with images of their keymap.

Another fun resource to browse is https://keymapdb.com/

Hey our layouts are not so different! I mean they are different, but there are some similarities.

Mere months ago, I thought the idea of having separate layer for numbers & "symbols" was craziness. And yet, here we are. I'm not sure if it'll be worth it but it's certainly fun to fiddle with!

I’ll take some screenshots from Vial later & share them.

The other boards that are in regular rotation are 40%. For those boards, F keys & the other things I mentioned above are all in layers.
