Error when installing additional SpaceCadet modifier keys [kaliedoscope does not name a type]

#1

Hi there,

Been trying to expand my SpaceCadet install to include {} and [], and it is not working as per the documentation. I added:

   //Set the keymap with a 250ms timeout per-key
  //Setting is {KeyThatWasPressed, AlternativeKeyToSend, TimeoutInMS}
  //Note: must end with the SPACECADET_MAP_END delimiter
  static kaleidoscope::SpaceCadet::KeyBinding spacecadetmap[] = {
    {Key_LeftShift, Key_LeftParen, 250}
    , {Key_RightShift, Key_RightParen, 250}
    , {Key_LeftGui, Key_LeftCurlyBracket, 250}
    , {Key_RightAlt, Key_RightCurlyBracket, 250}
    , {Key_LeftAlt, Key_RightCurlyBracket, 250}
    , {Key_LeftControl, Key_LeftBracket, 250}
    , {Key_RightControl, Key_RightBracket, 250}
    , SPACECADET_MAP_END
  };
  //Set the map.
  SpaceCadet.map = spacecadetmap;

to my void setup() but I get the following error when building:

/Users/rami/Documents/Arduino/Model01-Firmware/Model01-Firmware.ino: In function 'void setup()':

   SpaceCadet.map = spacecadetmap;
                    ^
exit status 1
'SpaceCadet' in namespace 'kaleidoscope' does not name a type

Any help would be appreciated.

We moved the plugins to a different namespace a while ago, so if you updated Kaleidoscope since you first made your sketch, a few things will need to be adapted, SpaceCadet included. In this case, replace static kaleidoscope::SpaceCadet::KeyBinding spacecadetmap[] with static kaleidoscope::plugin::KeyBinding spacecadetmap[], and that should do the trick.

Thank you algernon, I changed that line to what you recommended…but I am still getting the error.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Ooops, my bad, sorry! static kaleidoscope::plugin::SpaceCadet::KeyBinding spacecadetmap[] is the correct one.

#5

Thanks that worked. Why is this not in the docs? Has SpaceCadet fallen out of favor for some other plugin? I see it’s archived.

#6

It’s been merged to the Kaleidoscope repo, and the docs there are up to date. We should probably have left comments in the separate plugin repos README files…
