Numrow version

Hi, I really like this keyboard design (especially the ultra-thin double pcb idea) but I would LOVE a numrow version.

Do you plan to do one ?

Thanks in advance

question: Power switch if using ZMK/nice!nano

First of all, thank you for your amazing work! I have been daily driving morizon and it's an endgame board for me (ortho, 5x12, Pro-Micro, lower profile than contra. Open-sourced Preonic in a nutshell).

I would like to ask a question regarding ZMK/nice!nano. I saw that you provided ZMK config for horizon/morizon, which implies you have used them with nice!nano. As I couldn't see any Power switch pad on the board, are the boards will always turned on if I decided to use nice!nano? Although ZMK does have sleep features..

Python plugin doesn't work in KiCad 7

Hi!

I'm making an attempt to reduce the size of your fantastic design to 10 columns. However, the board producer plugin throws the following error in KiCad 7:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/Users/pe8er/Documents/KiCad/7.0/3rdparty/plugins/horizon-board-producer-plugin.py", line 20, in Run
HorizonBoardProducerPlugin.produce()

File "/Users/pe8er/Documents/KiCad/7.0/3rdparty/plugins/horizon-board-producer-plugin.py", line 248, in produce
HorizonBoardProducerPlugin.__create_gerbers(pcb, gerber_output_path)

File "/Users/pe8er/Documents/KiCad/7.0/3rdparty/plugins/horizon-board-producer-plugin.py", line 41, in __create_gerbers
plot_options.SetExcludeEdgeLayer(True)

AttributeError: 'PCB_PLOT_PARAMS' object has no attribute 'SetExcludeEdgeLayer'

Any chance you could fix it please? Thanks a ton!

How to generate cutout graphics for custom components?

Hi,

I really like your approach with the bottom plate as a "case" and I'm trying to implement the same for my custom keyboard. As far as I understand you have custom footprints for the components you use which already have graphics on Adhes layers. I'm building a regular keyboard so I can't just use your footprints as I need 1.5U, 2U keys, stabilizers, etc. How did you add the graphics? Is it totally manual or is there some way to automate it?
