# LayerNames
|
||
|
|
||
|
This plugin provides a [Focus][plugin:focus]-based interface for storing custom
|
||
|
layer names, to be used by software such as [Chrysalis][chrysalis]. The firmware
|
||
|
itself does nothing with the layer names, it is purely for use by applications
|
||
|
on the host side.
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
## Using the plugin
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use the plugin, we need to include the header, initialize the plugin with
|
||
|
`KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS()`, and reserve storage space for the names. This is
|
||
|
best illustrated with an example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```c++
|
||
|
#include <Kaleidoscope.h>
|
||
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-EEPROMSettings.h>
|
||
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-FocusSerial.h>
|
||
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-LayerNames.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS(
|
||
|
EEPROMSettings,
|
||
|
Focus,
|
||
|
LayerNames
|
||
|
);
|
||
|
|
||
|
void setup() {
|
||
|
Kaleidoscope.setup();
|
||
|
|
||
|
LayerNames.reserve_storage(128);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Plugin methods
|
||
|
|
||
|
The plugin provides a `LayerNames` object, with the following method available:
|
||
|
|
||
|
### `.reserve_storage(size)`
|
||
|
|
||
|
> Reserves `size` bytes of storage for layer names. This must be called from the
|
||
|
> `setup()` method of your sketch.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Focus commands
|
||
|
|
||
|
The plugin provides a single Focus command: `keymap.layerNames`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### `keymap.layerNames [name_length name]...`
|
||
|
|
||
|
> Without arguments, displays all the stored layer names. Each layer is printed
|
||
|
> on its own line, preceded by its length. At the end, the plugin will also
|
||
|
> print an extra line with a name length of zero, followed by the string
|
||
|
> "size=", and then the total size of the storage reserved for layer names.
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
> To set custom names, a list of length & name pairs must be given. The plugin
|
||
|
> stops processing arguments when it encounters a name length of 0.
|
||

#### Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
> keymap.layerNames
|
||
|
< 6 Qwerty
|
||
|
< 6 Numpad
|
||
|
< 8 Function
|
||
|
< 0 size=128
|
||
|
< .
|
||
|
|
||
|
> keymap.layerNames 6 Dvorak 6 Numpad 8 Function 0
|
||
|
< .
|
