Quickstart

Graphical Layout Intent Definition Editor (GLIDE), a visual keymap editor for MoErgo's ZMK-based keyboards or just GLove + IDE = GLIDE

Effortlessly simple

GLIDE works alongside the fabulous MoErgo Layout Editor to give you a simpler experience without the need to create complex ZMK behaviors. Define your intent, apply powerful layout Flows automations, and export a layout that’s ready to use in the Layout Editor.

1. Export Layout from MoErgo

We start by downloading your current layout as a JSON file from the MoErgo Layout Editor. Your keyboard settings remain completely safe until you choose to import your changes back.

• Open the MoErgo Layout Editor.

• Click Export to download your layout as a .json file.
  
  

2. Define your intent in GLIDE

Open GLIDE in your web browser and load your downloaded JSON file.

• Move & Swap: Click and drag any key onto another to swap their key bindings instantly.

• Apply Automations: Open the Flows Catalog to apply complete Home-Row Mod suites, symbol layers, or gaming layouts with a single click.

• Edit Behaviors: Click any key to set up hold-taps, sticky keys, tap-dances, or mod-morphs without writing raw code.

• Configure Combos: Use the Graphical Combo Editor to visually map key combinations with real-time conflict checking.

• Trackpad Controls (Go60): Map Cirque trackpad gestures, scroll speeds, and click modes visually.
  
  

3. Bring it back to MoErgo

When your intent definition is complete, export your modified JSON file:

• Click Export in the top navigation bar to download your updated .json file.

• Return to the MoErgo Layout Editor.

• Click Restore (Import JSON) and choose your updated file.

• Click Build to compile your layout into official firmware.
