ZMK firmware for nice!nano — implemented by LittlePlanlessFool, with a default keymap available in the LittlePlanlessFool/kapl-module repository. And a separate gaming keymap (used with only one half of the keyboard) can be found in their LittlePlanlessFool/zmk-config repo.
A great reference for adapting Kapl to work with ZMK and nice!nano.
