# Kaleidoscope-FingerPainter

The `FingerPainter` plugin provides an elaborate `LED` mode, in which one's able
to paint with their fingers: when edit mode is toggled on, keys will - instead
of performing their normal function - cycle through the global palette - as
provided by the [LED-Palette-Theme][plugin:l-p-t] plugin -, one by one for each tap.

This allows us to edit the theme with the keyboard only, without any special
software (except to toggle edit mode on and off).
