Please revert changes to this file. The Vial keymap submission is not an appropriate place to modify pin definitions for boards that were submitted to and still exist in upstream QMK.

To summarize comments I left on a previous PR:

• if the encoders are wrong for everyone, you should fix them for everyone (i.e.: in QMK)
• if your particular encoder is backwards because you sourced it yourself vs using the included/intended hardware, add #define ENCODER_DIRECTION_FLIP to your keymap's config.h
• if the manufacturer couldn't be bothered to source consistent hardware so different runs of the keyboard use incompatible encoders...I'd probably just shrug my shoulders and let people fend for themselves. But you could consider adding additional layouts that allow end-users to flip the encoder directions in the GUI.

I agree -- that was a late modification made to this PR once I discovered that you could tweak the pin definitions between left/right hand halves. But this really should go upstream.

I can revert that part for now. Is it alright if I leave the vial.json as I have it currently (wrt encoders)? Or how would you like that handled? Once (/if) the info.json fix goes upstream, the CCW/CC orientation in the UI will be as one would expect.

I think this is more a matter of the keyboard reusing the same PCB for left- and right-hand halves. The encoder is seated into the same through-holes, but on opposite sides. With the way the rest of the PCB laid out, this results in the encoder pins being mirrored between the two halves.

At any rate, I'll see if I can get the pin definitions merged upstream, and also ping the designer of the keyboard.

I'm not particularly fussed about the precise accuracy of the vial.json, as someone who does not own this board and is unlikely to investigate it thoroughly. Reverse the directions now and make a follow-up PR to Vial later, or don't. In either case the keymap is more functional than before, so it gets my nod.

Funnily enough, BenRoe is actually submitting Kimiko rev2 to QMK right now and that submission requires changes to rev1—so your timing really couldn't be better.
