VIA, Vial & ReMap Support

There are currently three open-source applications that support QMK’s VIA implementation. Note that none of these are made, or even influenced, by IDOBAO. Changes to these tools remain at the discretion of their authors.

All of them should work as Chromium apps, so it’s a personal choice, and VIA and Vial also run on Windows, macOS or Linux as downloadable native apps.

Be sure to check back with their sites to make sure you have the latest builds.

ReMap is an online app requiring Google Chrome or other Chromium-based web browsers.

Warning: Please note that recent changes (Feb 2023) to VIA & QMK has created new internal key code structures/values, that do not match current/as-sold firmware. There are also issues with keyboards built with the RGB Matrix library.

This means that firmware built before November 26, 2022 will cause issues with the new VIA app.

There is nothing we can do about this since the authors of VIA did not account for backward compatibility. If your Keyboard does not work in the new VIA, please try one of the other two key mapping tools listed above.
