How to use defsrc for multiple keyboards?

[timfenney]

It looks like defsrc defines the source keyboard, also with the layout.

My issue is that I use multiple keyboards, from split to 60% standard, to my builtin laptop keyboard. How can I make one defsrc that will work for other keyboards also?

I would prefer to provide a config with no spatial information whatsoever (I build prototype keyboards, one key, anything can be a keyboard if you put your heart into it :)

I also use a single defsrc myself across multiple keyboards and devices, across split, laptop, etc., though I don't use any single key or other prototype keyboards.

For the spatial aspect, I mostly use the shape of a standard QWERTY keyboard since it's easy enough to visually understand even if on a different keyboard. Some keys that I have remapped on some keyboards that don't belong on a QWERTY keyboard, like f13-f24, etc. go in arbitrary order in a separate row.

(defsrc
  ;; insert ~60%-ish QWERTY layout here
  f13 f14 f15 ;; etc.
)

If you don't want any spatial information, you could do something like:

(defsrc
  a
  b
  c
  1
  2
  3
)

(deflayer base
  #| a |# _
  #| b |# _
  #| c |# _
  #| 1 |# _
  #| 2 |# _
  #| 3 |# _
)

(deflayer layer-2
  #| a |# _
  #| b |# _
  #| c |# _
  #| 1 |# _
  #| 2 |# _
  #| 3 |# _
)

Is there a way to have different mappings on different keyboards? Like the right-control and option-key are in different places on my bigger keyboard, so I'd like to swap their usage as a thumb key.
