Currently, when I hold down the right fn key, my home row becomes my number keys. I removed the number keys and placed fn keys there. I would l like to light up the home row when I hold that fn key. What is the best way to make this happen? Is there something like the stacked layout for LEDs?

Thanks guys. I looked into FunctionalColors but I could not grasp very well how I would achieve my desired results using It. Plus, loong thread with lots of c++ I dont’ understand. Also, my scheme is not so cluster oriented nor does it help knowing what each key does. I don’t expect to type lookin…

Okay, and now a little defence of my code, because critical thinking must also be used when discussing code. I think my approach makes it a piece of cake to remap a color to a different key. You go from changing the keycode to changing the color mapping and that is going to take you seconds. Hence…

[image] jordihs: Plus, loong thread with lots of c++ I dont’ understand Yeah, it kind of got a bit out of control. I don’t understand it completely either and it took an entire week of seriously straining my brain to get as far as I have. Blame @noseglasses for that :smiley: In all seriousne…

You might want to look at my layout to better grasp the way a spanish keyboard is laid out (although I have a number of odd mappings and it is still a working progress): http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/150d746e66ce08c6f4deea8e77a8620f (The blue sybols are the function layer, and the …

Well, I decided to implement an easier to use version of my code. Now all the code changes required are to adjust the number of layers (LAYER_SIZE const), if you have added or removed from the default. And then there is an array that maps the color schemes to each of the layers. I also implemented …

Also, one question: is there an easy way to figure out the number of layers that have been defined in the keymaps const?

You can figure it out from the sketch itself with sizeof(keymaps)/ROWS/COLS/sizeof(uint16_t), but this won’t work anywhere outside of it.

If you use the KEYMAPS() macro instead of defining the keymap array directly, there is a layer_count variable defined (see layers.h), which stores that info. If not, it defaults to the maximum allowed (32). There’s a PR for Model01-Firmware to make this change, but I don’t know if it’s ever going to…

[image] jordihs: Easy to customize key clusters (add, replace, remove keys) This is an interesting idea… currently I have a bunch of functions like isNumber() that tell if a key passed to it is a Number. But I don’t (yet?) have the ability to have user-customizable functions of this nature. I…

Maybe I put you in a position where you feel a need to add functionality to your plugin that is really not a core feature and might be difficult to implement (I’ve seen that in the FunctionalColors thread you posted about it). What I mean by not core is that your initial idea was to predefine clust…

Yes, you can. See my reply to the other thread.
