I’m attempting a different approach and was hoping you might have some advice for me. I think I’m close to getting this to work, maybe, but I’m don’t think I’m using the optimal approach from a memory usage perspective. (Perhaps this approach is actually a wholly bad idea aside from that). But I ha…

That’s not possible the way you attempt it. An array can either exist at compiletime (constexpr) or at runtime (somewhere in memory PROGMEM/RAM). You define it constexpr and then try lookup at runtime. Even if it wasn’t constexpr this approach would have two drawbacks. Firstly, your code’s runtime …

Yeah, so basically there’s no way to do this as constexpr and have an array that can be iterated through… I can’t think of a way to do this that would be anywhere near as efficient as the macro that generates the switch statement. I could make it work, but then it’d take a ton of memory. Hmm… The…

Note to self: Based on a request, I’m considering implementing user-customizable groupings. I’ll think about how this can be done.

What was wrong with the original approach and a default-clause? struct groupColors { static constexpr cRGB alpha = dim(warmwhite, 100); static constexpr cRGB number = dim(white, 200); static constexpr cRGB punctuation = dim(orange, 190); //... }; FC_START_COLOR_LIST(myRGBColorList…

What about using a function macro for the group coloring default. #define FC_DEFAULT_GROUP_COLORING(COLOR_MAP) \ default: \ return kaleidoscope::LEDFunctionalColorRGB:: groupColorLookup<COLOR_MAP>(k); \ break; By this means it is even more user friendly.

This is exactly what I’m looking for and pretty much what I figured out after thinking about it for a while last night. One thing I could not figure out is how to remove a color… because I have to return some kind of color, right? How would you propose doing that? Is “none“ just a specific color…

[image] jdlien: Is “none“ just a specific color that I choose to ignore? Just skip coloring it if I see that? constexpr cRGB none = CRGB(0, 0, 0);

0,0,0 is black, which perhaps may want to used by someone… I was thinking that maybe I’d use some arbitrary but unlikely to be used color like CRGB(1, 2, 1) (which would render as black anyways) and then instead of being black, I could have the code “skip” it and then go onto the defaults or not col…

With the colorlist-with-default approach you can easily override single keys’ group colors or even remove any color by using

FC_COLOR(Key_RightShift, none)
