 ## New features
 
+### New OneShot features
+
+#### Auto-OneShot modifiers & layers
+
+OneShot can now treat modifiers and layer-shift keys as automatic OneShot
+keys. This includes modifiers with other modifier flags applied, so it is now
+very simple to turn `Key_Meh` or `Key_Hyper` into a OneShot key. The feature is
+controlled by the following new functions:
+
+- `OneShot.toggleAutoModifiers()`: Turn auto-OneShot modifiers on or off.
+- `OneShot.toggleAutoLayers()`: Turn auto-OneShot layer shifts on or off.
+- `OneShot.toggleAutoOneShot()`: Both of the above.
+
+There are also `enable` and `disable` versions of these functions.
+
+Note, it is still possible to define a modifier key in the keymap that will not
+automatically become a OneShot key when pressed, by applying modifier flags to
+`Key_NoKey` (e.g. `LSHIFT(Key_NoKey)`).
+
+#### Two new special OneShot keys
+
+OneShot can now also turn _any_ key into a sticky key, using either of two
+special `Key` values that can be inserted in the keymap.
+
+##### `OneShot_MetaStickyKey`
+
+This is a special OneShot key (it behaves like other OneShot keys), but its
+effect is to make any key pressed while it is active sticky. Press
+`OneShot_MetaStickyKey`, then press `X`, and `X` will become sticky. Sticky
+keys can be deactivated just like other OneShot keys, by pressing them
+again. This works for any key value, so use it with caution.
+
+##### `OneShot_ActiveStickyKey`
+
+Like `OneShot_ActiveStickyKey`, this key makes other keys sticky, but rather than
+affecting a subsequent key, it affects any keys already held when it is
+pressed. Press `X`, press `OneShot_ActiveStickyKey`, and release `X`, and `X`
+will be sticky until it is pressed again to deactivate it. Again, it works on
+any key value, so use with caution.
+
+#### LED-ActiveModColor highlighting
+
+With the updates to OneShot, LED-ActiveModColor now recognizes and highlights
+OneShot keys in three different states (along with normal modifiers):
+
+- one-shot (a key that's active after release, but will time out)
+- sticky (a key that will stay active indefinitely after release)
+- normal (a key that will stay active only while physically held; also applies
+  to normal modifier keys)
+
+The colors of theses three highlights are controlled by the properties
+`ActiveModColorEffect.oneshot_color`, `ActiveModColorEffect.sticky_color`, and
+`ActiveModColorEffect.highlight_color`, respectively.
+

+### OneShot
+
+Older versions of the plugin were based on `Key` values; OneShot is now based on
+`KeyAddr` coordinates instead, in order to improve reliability and
+functionality.
+
+The following deprecated functions and variables will be removed after
+**2021-04-31**.
+
+#### Deprecated functions
+
+- `OneShot.inject(key, key_state)`: This `Key`-based function still works, but
+  because OneShot keys are now required to have a valid `KeyAddr`, it will now
+  look for an idle key, and use that, masking whatever value was mapped to that
+  key. Most of the reasons for using this function are better addressed by using
+  the newer features of the plugin, such as automatic one-shot modifiers. Use is
+  very strongly discouraged.
+- `OneShot.isActive(key)`: This `Key`-based function no longer makes sense now
+  that OneShot is `KeyAddr`-based. There is a `OneShot.isActive(key_addr)`
+  function that should be used instead. The deprecated function still works, but
+  its use is discouraged.
+- `OneShot.isSticky(key)`: This `Key`-based function no longer makes sense now
+  that OneShot is `KeyAddr`-based. There is a `OneShot.isSticky(key_addr)`
+  function that should be used instead. The deprecated function still works, but
+  its use is discouraged.
+- `OneShot.isPressed()`: This function no longer has any reason for existing. In
+  older versions, the Escape-OneShot companion plugin used it to solve a problem
+  that no longer exists. It now always returns `false`.
+- `OneShot.isModifierActive(key)`: This function still works, but is not
+  perfectly reliable, because it now returns positive results for keys other
+  than OneShot modifiers. It should not be used.
+
+#### Deprecated variables
+
+- `OneShot.time_out`: Use `OneShot.setTimeout()` instead.
+- `OneShot.hold_time_out`: Use `OneShot.setHoldTimeout()` instead.
+- `OneShot.double_tap_time_out`: Use `OneShot.setDoubleTapTimeout()` instead.

 ## Plugin methods
 
 The plugin provides one object, `OneShot`, which implements both one-shot
 modifiers and one-shot layer keys. It has the following methods:
 
-### `.isActive()`
+### Configuration methods: Timeouts
 
-> Returns if any one-shot key is in flight. This makes it possible to
+#### `.setTimeout(timeout)`
-> differentiate between having a modifier or layer active, versus having them
-> active only until after the next key getting pressed. And this, in turn, is
-> useful for macros that need to fiddle with either modifier or layer state: if
-> one-shots are not active, they need not restore the original state.
 
-### `.isPressed()`
+> OneShot keys will remain active after they're pressed for `timeout`
+> milliseconds (or until a subsequent non-oneshot key is pressed). The
+> default value is 2500 (2.5 seconds).
 
-> Returns true if any one-shot key is still held.
+#### `.setHoldTimeout(timeout)`
 
-### `.isSticky(key)`
+> If a one-shot key is held for longer than `timeout` milliseconds, it
+> will behave like a normal key, and won't remain active after it is
+> released. The default value is 250 (1/4 seconds).
 
-> Returns if the key is currently sticky.
+#### `.setDoubleTapTimeout(timeout)`
 
-### `.isModifierActive(key)`
+> If a one-shot key is double-tapped (pressed twice in a row) in less
+> than `timeout` milliseconds, it wil become sticky, and will remain
+> active until it is pressed a third time. The default value is -1,
+> which indicates that it should use the same timeout as
+> `.setTimeout()`.

+### Test methods
+
+#### `.isActive(key_addr)`
+
+> Returns `true` if the key at `key_addr` is in an active one-shot
+> state. Note that if a key is still being held, but will be not
+> remain active after it is released, it is not considered to be in a
+> one-shot state, even if it had been earlier.
+
+#### `.isTemporary(key_addr)`
+
+> Returns `true` if the key at `key_addr` is in a temporary one-shot
+> state. Such a key will eventually time out or get deactivated by a
+> subsequent key press.
+
+#### `.isSticky(key_addr)`
+
+> Returns `true` if the key at `key_addr` is in a permanent one-shot
+> state. Such a key will not be deactivated by subsequent keypresses,
+> nor will it time out. It will only be deactivated by pressing it one
+> more time, or by being cancelled by the `cancel()` method (see
+> below).
+
+#### `.isActive()`
+
+> Returns `true` if there are any active one-shot keys. Note: it
+> returns `false` if there are no currently active one-shot keys, but
+> there are keys that were at one time in a one-shot state, but are
+> still being held after that state has been cancelled.
+
+#### `.isSticky()`
+
+> Returns `true` if there are any sticky one-shot keys.
+
+#### `.isStickable(key)`
+
+> Returns `true` if a key of the specified value can be made sticky by
+> double-tapping.
+
+#### `.isModifier(key)`
+
+> Returns `true` if the specified key is a modifier key. This does not
+> include OneShot modifiers (e.g. `OSM(LeftShift)`), but it does
+> include modifiers with additional modifier flags (e.g. `Key_Meh`,
+> `LCTRL(Key_RightGui)`).
+
+#### `.isLayerShift(key)`
+
+> Returns `true` if the specified key is a layer-shift key
+> (e.g. `ShiftToLayer(2)`). OneShot layer keys (e.g. `OSL(5)` are not
+> included).
+
+#### `.isOneShotKey(key)`
+
+> Returns `true` if the specified key is a OneShot modifier or
+> layer-shift key (e.g. `OSM(LeftAlt)`, `OSL(3)`).
+
+### Other methods
+
+#### `.cancel([with_stickies])`
+
+> Immediately deactivates the one-shot status of any _temporary_
+> one-shot keys. Any keys still being physically held will continue to
+> function as normal modifier/layer-shift keys.
+> 
+> If `with_stickies` is `true` (the default is `false`), _sticky_
+> one-shot keys will also be deactivated, in the same way.
+
+### Deprecated methods
+
+The following methods have been deprecated, and should no longer be
+used, if possible. These functions made more sense when OneShot was
+based on `Key` values; it has since be rewritten to be based on
+`KeyAddr` values.

+> of this method was to enable the triggering of multiple one-shot
+> modifiers with a single key, it is much better to use automatic
+> one-shot modifiers, if possible, because then it's not necessary to
+> use a Macro to configure.
+
+#### `.isModifierActive(key)`
+
+> Returns `true` if a keymap cache entry with the current value of
+> `key` is active (one-shot, sticky, or held). This should be a
+> function that is not specific to OneShot.
+
+#### `.isActive(key)`
