This is a major rewrite of the MouseKeys plugin, primarily focused on mouse
cursor movement keys. There is no change to the keys themselves, and the
behaviour is fairly similar, but there are now better configuration parameters
and defaults. The new parameters are a minimum speed, a maximum speed, and the
length of time it takes to reach that maximum speed, without needing to worry
about the report update interval.

The difference between the AVR and the GD32 implementation was the way we

duplicated.
To remove the need for duplicating the same code for every architecture we

shared between all of them.

detecting the device port at evaluation time rather than execution time.
This meant that we were doing the "where is the board" check for any
compilation target, even if we'd never flash.
Arduino's board probing is somewhat heavyweight and can take a couple of
seconds.
We move that logic into a shell expression executed at runtime.
On my laptop, this shaves 10 seconds off make -j 9 simulator tests,
which is pretty nice since that used to take about 30 seconds.
But on a plain `make simulator-tests`, it shaved a full minute from the
2 minute and 30 second runtime.
When flushing the on-tap action, we need to use `handleKeyEvent`, because our
address may not be valid, and `handleKeyswitchEvent` will not perform the action
if the address is invalid.

With the new patterns, `Focus.inputMatchesCommand(command, cmd)` felt wrong, so

In the past, we were using `Focus.handleHelp()` to see if we're handling a
`help` command, and print the commands supported by the handler. We also used
`strcmp_P` directly to compare (parts of) our input against command supported by
the handler. This approach works, but had multiple major disadvantages: it
duplicated strings between `handleHelp` and the `strcmp_P` calls, and it relied
on fragile substring pointers to save space.
To replace all that, this patch implements a different approach. Help handling
is split between a check (`Focus.inputMatchesHelp()`) and a
reply (`Focus.printHelp()`), the latter of which takes a list of `PSTR()`
strings, rather than one single string. This allows us to reuse the same
strings for comparing against the handler's input.
The new approach no longer uses the fragile substring pointers, nor does it use
`strcmp_P` directly, but goes through a wrapper (`Focus.inputMatchesCommand()`)
instead.
These changes lead to a more readable pattern. While we do use longer strings as
a result, there is less duplication, and the new patterns also require less
code, so we end up with saving space, at least on AVR devices.
The old methods are still available and usable, but they're deprecated.

`Serial.read()` is unbuffered, and will return `-1` (which we cast to an
unsigned char, so 255) immediately if there is no data in the incoming buffer.
This is unlike every other kind of read we do, which use `parseInt()`, and are
thus buffered reads with a timeout.
The problem with returning `-1` immediately is that Chrysalis sends data in
chunks, so if we end up trying to read a char at a chunk boundary, we'll end up
reading -1s, which we treat as valid data, and cast it to an unsigned char,
completely throwing off the protocol in the process.
By using `readBytes()`, we have a one second window during which more data can
arrive, and as such, is consistent with the rest of our reads.

Previously, a newline that wasn't read with the rest of the command in

overwrite it later.

Instead of simply echoing "device.reset" into the device port, call
`bin/focus-send`, which sets the `raw` setting on the port, before writing into

We could do the stty call in the makefile directly, but to support macOS, we'd
need to treat that specially, and at that point, it's easier to just call
`bin/focus-send`. The sketch relies on having the Kaleidoscope repo available
anyway, so we can safely rely on `bin/focus-send` being there, too.

This new plugin lets us store a default palette and colormap in PROGMEM.
Rather than teaching Colormap to pull from either EEPROM or PROGMEM, this
implements an entirely separate plugin, `DefaultColormap`, which is able
to *push* a palette and colormaps into Colormap.
When `DefaultColormap.setup()` is called, it checks if Colormap's storage area
is empty (both palette and the map must be empty), and if so, copies the
built-in palette and colormap over, and forces a refresh, and it has done its
job.
It does provide an additional Focus command too, `colormap.install`, which will
forcibly copy both palette and colormaps over. Useful for resetting back to a
factory setting.

To be able to set a theme from the firmware itself, we need a couple of helper
methods. First, we need to be able to update the palette without using Focus,
and we also need to be able to update a single LED without committing it. On top
of that, we'll likely want to know if the theme is initialized.
To this end, we introduce `updatePaletteColor()`, which updates an entry in the
palette, but does not commit it, and `isThemeUninitialized()` which does as the
name suggests: it checks if the palette and the theme slices are all uninitialized.
We also change `updateColorIndexAtPosition()` to not commit. The single user of
it was FingerPainter, and we update that to do an explicit commit after.

The plugin was both more complex and less accurate than it could have been. For
simplicity, it used a weighted average, with each cycle getting twice the weight
of the previous one. As a result, the reported average really only took into
account the last three or four cycles. On a keyboard with LEDs, some cycles
take much longer than others because of relatively rare updates, so this could
lead to misleading results, with the "average" cycle time usually being reported
as lower than it really should have been, and occasionally much higher.
This new version computes an evenly-weighted mean cycle time for each interval,
and runs more efficiently, by dividing the total elapsed time by the number of
cycles that has passed since the last report, rather than computing the time for
each individual cycle.

We'd like to be able to set the default LED mode via Focus, so it can be
configured via Chrysalis. However, we may not want auto-save, so make that
configurable too.
To preserve the EEPROM layout, the highest bit of the previous led mode index
setting was repurposed for the auto save setting. This lets us set the default
mode to anything between 0 and 126 (or 127, if auto save is turned off).
While there, we also add an `onNameQuery` handler, to make it easier for
Chrysalis to detect if the plugin is available.

There were a number of problems with how we updated and handled our cache.
First of all, we did not support empty macros that consist only of a single
`MACRO_ACTION_END`: we returned immediately as soon as we encountered one such.
This is undesirable, we want to support such empty macros.
Seconds, we did _not_ bail out early when encountering an unknown step. We
continued reading from storage until we reached our slice's end. That's also
undesirable, because data past an unknown step is not something we can reliably
parse. We should have bailed out here.
On top of that, we did not keep our id->location map in good shape. The initial
cache update did the right thing, but if we did an update where we ended up with
less macros, our map would have dangling pointers for macro ids that no longer
exist. That's not a problem when our update clears the rest of the storage
slice, but if it doesn't, the results of trying to run an unknown macro would be
unpredictable. Even if we don't care about that, it's still very inefficient,
especially when we have large macro storage.
So, this update does a whole lot of things to improve the situation:
We now keep track of how many macros we find during a cache update, and will
refuse to play macro ids that are beyond our count. This improves efficiency,
and protects us from trying to run garbage.
We also support empty macros now, and return early from a cache update when we
encounter an unknown step type.

We should be treating the end of data the same way we treat a newline.
A common issue that affects a good number of plugins is that we don't deal with
trailing space well. For example, most plugins that respond with a large list of
values, where we iterate over an array or list, or something else, they usually
end up responding with a trailing space before the newline.
If we feed that same string back as an update, we can end up in a situation
where we lock up (or become very, very slow), because we want to read more data
than is available. Why? Because `Serial.parseInt()` (used by Focus under the
hood) will swallow up any leading whitespace. So if we have "255 \n" as an
argument list, we'll parse the first number, and the second `parseInt()` will
return 0, because it times out waiting for a number, consuming both the space
and the newline in the process. Thus, the next `::isEOL()` will still return
false, because `peek()` returns `-1`, signaling no data.
That can confuse the heck out of our plugins. To combat that, we should treat
end of data the same as EOL, and return false if `peek()` returns -1, too.

This matches the default EEPROM size of the underlying FlashStorage library, and
is substantially bigger than AVR-based keyboards, yet not _too_ big.
For various reasons, we're mirroring EEPROM into RAM 1:1, so we're constrained
by the size of that, too. That makes larger storage sizes undesirable at this
time. On top of this limitation, larger storage sizes also pose backup & restore

order used by IWYU (`testing/*` files need to come after certain headers than

First, we add an `uinitialized_byte` prop to `BaseProps`, so implementations
that don't use `0xff` as default can set it to whatever they use. Do keep in
mind that plenty of code still assumes `0xff` is the uninitialized byte, but
this way we have a starting point.
Then, we add an `isSliceUninitialized()` function, which checks whether a given
slice is completely made up from uninitialized bytes or not.

This standardizes namespace closing brackets for namespace blocks. Each one is
on its own line, with a comment clearly marking which namespace it closes.
Consecutive lines closing namespace blocks have no whitespace between them, but
there is one blank line before and after a set of namespace block closing lines.
To generate the namespace comments, I used clang-format, with
`FixNamespaceComments: true`. But since clang-format can't exactly duplicate
our astyle formatting, it made lots of other changes, too. To isolate the
namespace comments from the other formatting changes, I first ran clang-format
with `FixNamespaceComments: false`, committed those changes, then ran it again
to generate the namespace comments. Then I stashed the namespace comments,
reset `HEAD` to remove the other changes, applied the stashed namespace
comments, and committed the results (after examining them and making a few minor
adjustments by hand).

To make it easier - or in some cases, even possible - to put the keyboard into

we need to do it a bit differently: by sending the keyboard a Focus request to
reboot itself.

`KeyAddrEventQueue::remove()` fails to confirm that the current queue is empty
before decrementing the length and shifting entries in the queue arrays. If
`remove()` or `shift()` is called when the queue is empty, `length_` gets
decremented from 0 to 255 (because it's unsigned), and then a large section of
memory gets shifted, mostly out of bounds of the event queue arrays, and
probably wreaking havoc with any number of things.

it affects the value for the current time. It's not guaranteed to detect this
bug, but it seems to be fairly consistent.

This lets us remove some awkward code from `handleKeyswitchEvent()`, because as
long as the default value (which triggers a keymap lookup) was the same as
`Key_Masked`, it wasn't sufficient for an `onKeyswitchEvent()` handler to change
`event.key` to `Key_Masked`, because that would be interpreted by
`handleKeyEvent()` as a signal to do a keymap lookup.
This also makes it more consistent with other parts of the code. The values
`Key_Undefined`, `Key_Inactive`, and `Key_Transparent` are all the same, and
with this change they are each interpreted the same way by code that encounters
them. In a keymap lookup, if an active layer has a `Key_Transparent` value, we
continue searching for a different value on another layer. In the live keys
array, if we find a `Key_Inactive` entry, we look for a value from the keymap.
And with this change, when processing a key event, if it has a `Key_Undefined`
value, we look for a value from `active_keys` (and then from the keymap layers,
if nothing is found there).

This event handler is useful for plugins that need to react to events, but

because OneShot changes the `event.key` value to the corresponding base

Deprecates OneShot direct-access configuration variables, and replaces them with
setter functions:
- `time_out` => `setTimeout()`
- `hold_time_out` => `setHoldTimeout()`
- `double_tap_time_out` => `setDoubleTapTimeout()`
Deprecating public member variables is tricky, but possible. I've created new,
private member variables, and added code to keep them in sync with the
deprecated public ones for now.
Also of note: The old `OneShot.inject()` function should now be unnecessary for
most purposes. It still works, but has a potential undesirable side effect. It
now needs to pick a physical keyswitch address to use for the injected OneShot
key, and that key will not be usable for its normal value until that OneShot key
is deactivated. Because of this, use of `inject()` is not strongly discouraged.

This is a complete rewrite of OneShot, based on the keymap cache
redesign. This allows OneShot to abort the release of a key, causing
its cache entry to stay valid if it's in an active state after the key
is released, allowing us to fix#896 (double-tapping a layer shift key
doesn't make it sticky).
Instead of tracking `Key` values, OneShot now uses two bitfields of
the keyboard in order to track the OneShot state of every valid
`KeyAddr` independently. This could enable the creation of a OneShot
"meta" key, which could be used as a way to make any key on the
keyboard exhibit OneShot behaviour.
The new OneShot plugin immediately replaces the OneShot `Key` value
with its corresponding "normal" key, and activates its OneShot status
by setting one bit in one of the bitfields.
Also included:
* A rewrite of LED-ActiveModColor that makes it compatible
with the new OneShot, and add support for Qukeys
* Updates to Escape-OneShot for compatibility and efficiency
* Minor updates to Qukeys
* The new KeyAddrBitfield class
KeyAddrBitfield:
This class can be used to represent a binary state of the physical key
addresses on the keyboard. For example, ActiveModColor can use to to
mark all the keys which should be highlighted at any given time. It
includes a very efficient iterator, which returns only `KeyAddr`
values corresponding to bits that are set in the bitfield. It checks a
whole byte at a time before examining individual bits, so if most bits
are unset most of the time, it's very fast, and suitable for use in
hooks that get called every cycle.
ActiveModColor:
This makes LED-ActiveModColor compatible with Qukeys, and removes its
16-modifier limit, while simultaneously reducing it's footprint in RAM
and eliminating a potential buffer overrun bug where it could have
written past the end of its state array.

Because the active key for redial was getting cached as the key being pressed,

When Qukeys stops event processing from its `onKeyswitchEvent()` handler, it's
because the event should be treated as non-existent (in most cases, it's merely
delayed). This keeps the keyboard state array from getting updated, as well as
completely stopping event processing.

This replaces the `Layer.live_composite_keymap_[]` cache with a representation
of the keyboard's current state as an array of `Key` objects, one per key on the
keyboard. In this new array, an idle key will have the value `Key_Transparent`,
and a pressed key will have the value of whatever key it's currently mapped to
in the keymap (or whatever value the active set of plugins has assigned to
it). A value of `Key_NoKey` will mask that key until it is released.
If a plugin returns `ABORT` from its `onKeyswitchEvent()` handler, that means
that the keymap cache should not be updated. It's especially important to have
this occur after plugins like OneShot and Qukeys, where the key can stay
active (or become active) after the physical keyswitch has been released.

This will allow plugin handlers to send one of three different signals to the
calling hook functions, with three different interpretations:
`OK`: Continue calling the next handler.
`EVENT_CONSUMED`: Don't proceed to the next handler, but signal to the hook

`ABORT`: Stop processing, and signal to the hook function's caller that the

This implements a new `FocusSerial` command: `plugins`. The `plugins` command
will reply back with a list of plugins enabled in the firmware. The list is not
exhaustive, only plugins that opt-in to this mechanism will be listed. It is
opt-in, because for a lot of plugins, having them listed isn't useful in a
practical sense.
The goal with this feature is to allow Chrysalis to detect plugins that would
affect what keys it offers, or which additional settings it displays, and do so
in a consistent way. This is why IdleLEDs has an `onNameQuery` handler too, even

This change adds test methods to the `Key` class for the builtin variants for
the different HID types (Keyboard, Consumer Control, and System Control), and
layer change keys:
- `key.isKeyboardKey()`
- `key.isConsumerControlKey()`
- `key.isSystemControlKey()`
- `key.isLayerKey()`
In addition, a few useful sub-variants are called out. These will probably be
more commonly used by plugins:
- `key.isKeyboardModifier()` returns `true` if `key` is a HID Keyboard key, and
its keycode is a modifier. Note that this includes modifiers with modifier
flags, so it will also return `true` for `Key_Meh`, for example.
- `key.isKeyboardShift()` returns true if `key` both above tests pass, and
either the base keycode is a modifier, or the shift mod flag is set.
Shift is a special case, even among modifiers, because it is more often of
concern by plugins (e.g. TopsyTurvy, ShapeShifter) than others.
- `key.isLayerShift()` returns `true` if `key` is a layer shift key.
Layer shifts are tested more often than other types of layer changing keys
because they, like HID Keyboard modifiers, are used chorded, rather than simply
having an effect that completes when they toggle on.

This is a convenience only, but it's much more straightforward than the

`KeyAddr::none()` is meant to be useful for initialization of variables:
`KeyAddr my_addr = KeyAddr::none()`
`KeyAddr::clear()` is meant to be the counterpart of the `isValid()` test, to
set an existing variable to an invalid address:
`my_addr.clear()` vs `if (my_addr.isValid()) ...`

This is a complete rework of how Kaleidoscope is built, but should be largely transparent to most developers and completely invisible to folks using the Arduino IDE.
Some advanced features of kaleidoscope-builder config files have gone away, but it’s likely that @algernon was the only person using them. The tradeoff is that we’re now using a much better maintained build tool under the hood and that we’re no longer as tied to a single specific directory structure.

separated the "keyswitch" token and the first coordinate.

Some users have pointed out that certain keys (in particular, `space` &
`backspace`) are inconvenient to require the minimum prior interval to make a
qukey resolve to a modifier (especially `shift`). We could blacklist those keys,
but it's hard to predict what they all might be. The problem is mainly one for
very fast typists, and therefore I expect it to show up when following the
"normal" printable keys, not often other keys.
This could also be made into a configurable list, but I'd prefer not to do so
unless there's serious demand for it, as Qukeys already has too many settings.

Unintended modifiers are becoming an increasingly big problem among users of
Qukeys. This change adds yet another configuration option to prevent this from
happening while users are typing fast. It introduces a new requirement to make a
qukey eligible to become a qukey; a minimum amount of time that must pass
between the keypress event for a non-modifier key and the subsequent keypress
event of the qukey.

When rollover occurs from a non-modifier key to a qukey, if we delay the release
event of that key until after the qukey's state is resolved, and if the hold
timeout is set to a fairly large value (on the order of 500ms), unintended
repeats would occur for a key that was actually only tapped. To prevent this, if
there's only one event in the queue (the press of the qukey), and we see a
release of a non-modifier key that's not the qukey, it's okay to allow that
release event to skip the queue and simply proceed as if it had been released
before the qukey was pressed.

# Getting Started
## Setup the Arduino IDE
Setup the Arduino IDE on your system. Make sure you install at least version 1.8.6, since older version may not support all required features.
If you want to use Kaleidoscope to customize or compile a "sketch" to power a supported keyboard, the fastest way to get started is to use the Arduino IDE. You can find [setup instructions](https://kaleidoscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick_start.html) on [kaleidoscope.readthedocs.io](https://kaleidoscope.readthedocs.io)
* On Linux, follow the instructions [on the wiki](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Install-Arduino-support-on-Linux).
* On macOS, install using [homebrew](http://brew.sh/) [cask](https://caskroom.github.io/) with `brew cask install arduino` or download the application from [the official website](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) and move it to your `/Applications` folder.
If you prefer to work from the command line or intend to work on Kaleidscope itself, please follow the instructions below. It's important to note that the Arduino IDE needs the source code laid out in a slightly different arrangement than you'll find in this repository. If you want to use the Arduino IDE, you should follow [these instructions](https://kaleidoscope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick_start.html) instead.
## Get into the right directory
# Use git to check out a copy of Kaleidoscope
### macOS
```sh
mkdir -p $HOME/Documents/Arduino/hardware
cd $HOME/Documents/Arduino/hardware
```
1. Open a commandline shell and navigate to where you want to check out Kaleidoscope.
### Linux
For the purposes of this tutorial, we'll assume your checkout is in a directory called `kaleidoscope` inside a directory called `git` in your home directory.
3. Ask Kaleidoscope to install the compiler toolchain, arduino-cli and platform support
### Install the libraries and hardware definitions
## Clone the hardware definitions
```sh
$ cd ${HOME}/git/Kaleidoscope
$ make setup
```
Because git for Windows doesn't always have symlink support enabled by default, you may need to enable it for Kaleidoscope. To do that, add '-c core.symlinks=true' to your commandline. On all other platforms, that option is safe, but not necessary, as symlinks should work by default.
4. Tell your shell where to find your Kaleidoscope installation. This example is for bash. If you're using another shell, consult the shell's documentation for instructions about how to set an environment variable
echo "Running tests in Docker requires that your Arduino environment be installed in .arduino inside the top-level Kaleidoscope directory. To set this up, run 'make setup'"
exit 1
fi
XFER_DIR="$(pwd)/.docker_xfer"
mkdir -p "${XFER_DIR}"
if [ -z "$_NO_SYNC_KALEIDOSCOPE" ]; then
echo "Preparing Kaleidoscope..."
echo "The bundle is coming from ${ARDUINO_DIRECTORIES_USER}/hardware/keyboardio"
### Better protection against unintended modifiers from Qukeys
Qukeys has two new configuration options for preventing unintended modifiers in
the output, particularly when typing fast:
- `Qukeys.setMinimumHoldTime(ms)` sets the minimum duration of a qukey press
required for it to be eligible to take on its alternate (modifier) value.
- `Qukeys.setMinimumPriorInterval(ms)` sets the minimum interval between the
previous printable (letters, numbers, and punctuation) key press and the press
of the qukey required to make the qukey eligible to take on its alternate
(modifier) value.

The [LED-Palette-Theme](plugins/LED-Palette-Theme.md) had to be changed to store the palette colors in reverse. This change had to be made in order to not default to a bright white palette, that would draw so much power that most operating systems would disconnect the keyboard due to excessive power usage. With inverting the colors, we now default to a black palette instead. This sadly breaks existing palettes, and you will have to re-set the colors.

With inverting the colors, we now default to a black palette instead. This sadly breaks existing palettes, and you will have to re-set the colors.
We also changed when we reserve space for the palette in EEPROM: we used to do it as soon as possible, but that made it impossible to go from a firmware that does not use the plugin to one that does, and still have a compatible EEPROM layout. We now reserve space as late as possible. This breaks existing EEPROM layouts however.
### EEPROM-Keymap changed Focus commands
The [EEPROMKeymap](plugins/EEPROM-Keymap.md) plugin was changed to treat built-in (default) and EEPROM-stored (custom) layers separately, because that's less surprising, and easier to work with from Chrysalis. The old `keymap.map` and `keymap.roLayers` commands are gone, the new `keymap.default` and `keymap.custom` commands should be used instead.

## New features
### New event handler
One more `KeyEvent` handler has been added: `afterReportingState(const KeyEvent &event)`. This handler gets called after HID reports are sent for an event, providing a point for plugins to act after an event has been fully processed by `Runtime.handleKeyEvent()`.
### Event-driven main loop
Kaleidoscope's main loop has been rewritten. It now responds to key toggle-on and toggle-off events, dealing with one event at a time (and possibly more than one in a given cycle). Instead of sending a keyboard HID report at the end of every scan cycle (and letting the HID module suppress duplicates), it now only sends HID reports in response to input events.
Furthermore, there are now two functions for initiating the processing of key events:
- `Runtime.handleKeyswitchEvent()` is the starting point for events that represent physical keyswitches toggling on or off.
- `Runtime.handleKeyEvent()` is the starting point for "artificial" key events. It is also called at the end of `handleKeyswitchEvent()`.
In general, if a plugin needs to generate a key event, it should call `handleKeyEvent()`, not `handleKeyswitchEvent()`.
Each of the above functions calls its own set of plugin event handlers. When those event handlers are all done, event processing continues as `handleKeyEvent()` prepares a new keyboard HID report, then sends it:
- `Runtime.prepareKeyboardReport()` first clears the HID report, then populates it based on the contents of the `live_keys[]` array. Note that the HID report is not cleared until _after_ the new plugin event handlers have been called.
- `Runtime.sendKeyboardReport()` handles generating extra HID reports required for keys with keyboard modifier flags to avoid certain bugs, then calls a new plugin event handler before finally sending the new HID report.
These functions should rarely, if ever, need to be called by plugins.
#### The `KeyEvent` data type
There is a new `KeyEvent` type that encapsulates all the data relevant to a new key event, and it is used as the parameter for the new event-handling functions.
- `event.addr` contains the `KeyAddr` associated with the event.
- `event.state` contains the state bitfield (`uint8_t`), which can be tested with `keyToggledOn()`/`keyToggledOff()`.
- `event.key` contains a `Key` value, usually looked up from the keymap.
- `event.id` contains a pseudo-unique ID number of type `KeyEventId` (an 8-bit integer), used by certain plugins (see `onKeyswitchEvent()` below).
Existing sketches should be mostly backwards-compatible, but some updates will be needed for sketches that use custom code. In particular, users of the Macros plugin are likely to need to make adjustments to the code in the user-defined `macroAction()` function, including that function's signature, the new version of which takes a `KeyEvent` parameter instead of just an event state value. In most cases, this will make the resulting code more straightforward without any loss of functionality.
In addition to Macros, these changes might also affect user-defined code executed by the TapDance, Leader, and Syster plugins. Please see the documentation and examples for the affected plugins for details.
### Keyboard State array
The keymap cache (`Layer_::live_composite_keymap_[]`) has been replaced by a keyboard state array (`kaleidoscope::live_keys[]`). The top-level functions that handle keyswitch events have been updated to treat this new array as a representation of the current state of the keyboard, with corresponding `Key` values for any keys that are active (physically held or activated by a plugin).
#### For end-users
There should be no user-visible changes for anyone who simply uses core plugins. A few functions have been deprecated (`Layer.eventHandler()` &`Layer.updateLiveCompositeKeymap()`), but there are straightforward replacements for both.
#### For developers
The major changes are to the `handleKeyswitchEvent()` function, which has been reorganized in order to update the new keyboard state array with correct values at the appropriate times. In addition to that, two new facilities are available:
##### `EventHandlerResult::ABORT`
This is a new return value available to plugin event handlers, which is similar to `EVENT_CONSUMED` in that it causes the calling hook function to return early (stopping any subsequent handlers from seeing the event), but is treated differently by `handleKeyswitchEvent()`. If a handler returns `EVENT_CONSUMED`, the keyboard state array will still be updated by `handleKeyswitchEvent()`, but if it returns `ABORT`, it will not. In both cases, no further event processing will be done by the built-in event handler.
##### `live_keys[key_addr]`
This is the new facility for checking the value of an entry in the keyboard state array. It is indexed directly by `KeyAddr` values, without the need to convert them to integers first. For example, it could be used in a range-based `for` loop to check for values of interest:
```c++
for (KeyAddr key_addr : KeyAddr::all()) {
Key key = live_keys[key_addr];
if (key == Key_LeftShift || key == Key_RightShift) {
// do something special...
}
}
```
Additionally, if the `KeyAddr` values are not needed, one can use the iterator from the new `KeyMap` class like so:
```c++
for (Key key : live_keys.all()) {
if (key == Key_X) {
// do something special...
}
}
```
The `live_keys` object's subscript operator can also be used to set values in the keyboard state array:
```c++
live_keys[key_addr] = Key_X;
```
It also comes with several convenience functions which can be used to make the intention of the code clear:
```c++
// Set a value in the keyboard state array to a specified Key value:
live_keys.activate(key_addr, Key_X);
// Set a value to Key_Inactive, deactivating the key:
live_keys.clear(key_addr);
// Set all values in the array to Key_Inactive:
live_keys.clear();)
// Set a value to Key_Masked, masking the key until its next release event:
live_keys.mask(key_addr);
```
In most cases, it won't be necessary for plugins or user sketches to call any of these functions directly, as the built-in event handler functions will manage the keyboard state array automatically.
### New build system
In this release, we replace kaleidoscope-builder with a new Makefile based build system that uses `arduino-cli` instead of of the full Arduino IDE. This means that you can now check out development copies of Kaliedoscope into any directory, using the `KALEIDOSCOPE_DIR` environment variable to point to your installation.

We replaced it with a new Makefile based build system that uses `arduino-cli` instead of of the full Arduino IDE. This means that you can now check out development copies of Kaliedoscope into any directory, using the `KALEIDOSCOPE_DIR` environment variable to point to your installation.
### OneShot meta keys
The special OneShot keys `OneShot_MetaStickyKey`&`OneShot_ActiveStickyKey` are no longer handled by the OneShot plugin directly, but instead by a separate OneShotMetaKeys plugin. If you use these keys in your sketch, you will need to add the new plugin, and register it after OneShot in `KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS()` for those keys to work properly.
### Repository rearchitecture
To improve build times and to better highlight Kaleidoscope's many plugins, plugins have been move into directories inside the Kaleidoscope directory.
The "breaking change" part of this is that git checkouts of Kaleidoscope are no longer directly compatible with the Arduino IDE, since plugins aren't in a directory the IDE looks in. They are, of course, visible to tools using our commandline build infrastructure / Makefiles.
When we build releases, those plugins are moved into directories inside the arduino platform packages for each architecture to make them visible to the Arduino IDE.
### Layer system switched to activation order
The layer system used to be index-ordered, meaning that we'd look keys up on
layers based on the _index_ of active layers. Kaleidoscope now uses activation
order, which looks up keys based on the order of layer activation.

### Key masking has been deprecated
### Key masking has been removed
Key masking was a band-aid introduced to avoid accidentally sending unintended keys when key mapping changes between a key being pressed and released. Since the introduction of keymap caching, this is no longer necessary, as long as we can keep the mapping consistent. Users of key masking are encouraged to find ways to use the caching mechanism instead.
As an example, if you had a key event handler that in some cases masked a key, it should now map it to `Key_NoKey` instead, until released.

# Removed APIs
### Removed on 2022-03-03
#### Pre-`KeyEvent` event handler hooks
The old event handler `onKeyswitchEvent(Key &key, KeyAddr addr, uint8_t state)` was removed on **2022-03-03**. It has been replaced with the new `onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event)` handler (and, in some special cases the `onKeyswitchEvent(KeyEvent &event)` handler). Plugins using the deprecated handler will need to be rewritten to use the new one(s).
The old event handler `beforeReportingState()` was removed on **2022-03-03**. It has been replaced with the new `beforeReportingState(KeyEvent &event)` handler. However, the new handler will be called only when a report is being sent (generally in response to a key event), not every cycle, like the old one. It was common practice in the past for plugins to rely on `beforeReportingState()` being called every cycle, so when adapting to the `KeyEvent` API, it's important to check for code that should be moved to `afterEachCycle()` instead.
The old master function for processing key "events" was removed on **2022-03-03**. Functions that were calling this function should be rewritten to call `kaleidoscope::Runtime.handleKeyEvent(KeyEvent event)` instead.
This deprecated function was removed on **2022-03-03**. Its purpose was to handle rollover events for keys that include modifier flags, and that handling is now done elsewhere. Any code that called it should now simply call `Keyboard::pressKey(Key key)` instead, dropping the second argument.
#### Old layer key event handler functions
The deprecated `Layer.handleKeymapKeyswitchEvent()` function was removed on **2022-03-03**. Any code that called it should now call `Layer.handleLayerKeyEvent()` instead, with `event.addr` set to the appropriate `KeyAddr` value if possible, and `KeyAddr::none()` otherwise.
The deprecated `Layer.eventHandler(key, addr, state)` function was removed on **2022-03-03**. Any code that refers to it should now call call `handleLayerKeyEvent(KeyEvent(addr, state, key))` instead.
#### Keymap cache functions
The deprecated `Layer.updateLiveCompositeKeymap()` function was removed on **2022-03-03**. Plugin and user code probably shouldn't have been calling this directly, so there's no direct replacement for it. If a plugin needs to make changes to the `live_keys` structure (equivalent in some circumstances to the old "live composite keymap"), it can call `live_keys.activate(addr, key)`, but there are probably better ways to accomplish this goal (e.g. simply changing the value of `event.key` from an `onKeyEvent(event)` handler).
The deprecated `Layer.lookup(addr)` function was removed on **2022-03-03**. Please use `Runtime.lookupKey(addr)` instead in most circumstances. Alternatively, if you need information about the current state of the keymap regardless of any currently active keys (which may have values that override the keymap), use `Layer.lookupOnActiveLayer(addr)` instead.
Direct access to this configuration variable was removed on **2022-03-03**. Please use `LEDControl.setInterval()` to set the interval between LED updates instead.
#### Obsolete active macros array removed
The deprecated `Macros.active_macro_count` variable was removed on **2022-03-03**. Any references to it are obsolete, and can simply be removed.
The deprecated `Macros.active_macros[]` array was removed on **2022-03-03**. Any references to it are obsolete, and can simply be removed.
The deprecated `Macros.addActiveMacroKey()` function was removed on **2022-03-03**. Any references to it are obsolete, and can simply be removed.
#### Pre-`KeyEvent` Macros API
This is a brief summary of specific elements that were removed. There is a more comprehensive guide to upgrading existing Macros user code in the [Breaking Changes](#breaking-changes) section, under [Macros](#macros).
Support for deprecated form of the `macroAction(uint8_t macro_id, uint8_t key_state)` function was removed on **2022-03-03**. This old form must be replaced with the new `macroAction(uint8_t macro_id, KeyEvent &event)` for macros to continue working.
The `Macros.key_addr` public variable was removed on **2022-03-03**. To get access to the key address of a Macros key event, simply refer to `event.addr` from within the new `macroAction(macro_id, event)` function.
The deprecated `MACRODOWN()` preprocessor macro was removed on **2022-03-03**. Since most macros are meant to be triggered only by keypress events (not key release), and because `macroAction()` does not get called every cycle for held keys, it's better to simply do one test for `keyToggledOn(event.state)` first, then use `MACRO()` instead.
#### ActiveModColor public variables
The following deprecated `ActiveModColorEffect` public variables were removed on **2022-03-03**. Please use the following methods instead:
- For `ActiveModColor.highlight_color`, use `ActiveModColor.setHighlightColor(color)`
- For `ActiveModColor.oneshot_color`, use `ActiveModColor.setOneShotColor(color)`
- For `ActiveModColor.sticky_color`, use `ActiveModColor.setStickyColor(color)`
#### OneShot public variables
The following deprecated `OneShot` public variables were removed on **2022-03-03**. Please use the following methods instead:
- For `OneShot.time_out`, use `OneShot.setTimeout(ms)`
- For `OneShot.hold_time_out`, use `OneShot.setHoldTimeout(ms)`
- For `OneShot.double_tap_time_out`, use `OneShot.setDoubleTapTimeout(ms)`
#### Deprecated OneShot API functions
OneShot was completely rewritten in early 2021, and now is based on `KeyAddr` values (as if it keeps physical keys pressed) rather than `Key` values (with no corresponding physical key location). This allows it to operate on any `Key` value, not just modifiers and layer shifts.
The deprecated `OneShot.inject(key, key_state)` function was removed on **2022-03-03**. Its use was very strongly discouraged, and is now unavailable. See below for alternatives.
The deprecated `OneShot.isActive(key)` function was removed on **2022-03-03**. There is a somewhat equivalent `OneShot.isActive(KeyAddr addr)` function to use when the address of a key that might be currently held active by OneShot is known. Any code that needs information about active keys is better served by not querying OneShot specifically.
The deprecated `OneShot.isSticky(key)` function was removed on **2022-03-03**. There is a somewhat equivalent `OneShot.isStick(KeyAddr addr)` function to use when the address of a key that may be in the one-shot sticky state is known.
The deprecated `OneShot.isPressed()` function was removed on **2022-03-03**. It was already devoid of functionality, and references to it can be safely removed.
The deprecated `OneShot.isModifierActive(key)` function was removed on **2022-03-03**. OneShot modifiers are now indistinguishable from other modifier keys, so it is better for client code to do a more general search of `live_keys` or to use another mechanism for tracking this state.
#### `HostPowerManagement.enableWakeup()`
This deprecated function was removed on **2022-03-03**. The firmware now supports wakeup by default, so any references to it can be safely removed.
#### `EEPROMSettings.version(uint8_t version)`
This deprecated function was removed on **2022-03-03**. The information stored is not longer intended for user code to set, but instead is used internally.
#### Model01-TestMode plugin

### Include What You Use
If a source or header file refers to a symbol defined elsewhere, the file should directly include a header file which provides a declaration or definition of that symbol.
Do not rely on transitive inclusions. This allows maintainers to remove no-longer-needed `#include` statements from their headers without breaking clients code. This also applies to directly associated headers - `foo.cpp` should include `bar.h` if it uses a symbol defined there, even if `foo.h` (currently) includes `bar.h`.

It is important to know that functions are not always inlined even if they are declared as such; for example, virtual and recursive functions are not normally inlined. Usually recursive functions should not be inline.

### Names and Order of Includes
### Organization of Includes
<!-- TODO: This section could be simplified, and clarified, I believe. -->
> Use standard order for readability and to avoid hidden dependencies:
> - The header associated with this source file, if any
> - System headers and Arduino library headers (including other Kaleidoscope plugins, but not Kaleidoscope itself)
> - Kaleidoscope headers and headers for the individual plugin (other than the associated header above)
> Use standard order for readability and to avoid hidden dependencies: Related header, Arduino libraries, other libraries' `.h`, your project's `.h`.
These three sections should be separated by single blank lines, and should be sorted alphabetically.
All libraries must have at least one header in their top-level `src/` directory, to be included without any path components. This is the way Arduino finds libraries, and a limitation we must adhere to. These headers should - in general - include any other headers they may need, so that the consumer of the library only has to include one header. The name of this header must be the same as the name of the library.
When including system headers and Arduino library headers (including Kaleidoscope plugins), use angle brackets to indicate that those sources are external.
For headers inside the current library and for Kaleidoscope core headers, use double quotes and a full pathname (starting below the `src/` directory). This applies to the source file's associated header, as well; don't use a pathname relative to the source file's directory.
The recommended naming is to prefix the library name with `Kaleidoscope-`.
For the sake of clarity, the above sections can be further divided to make it clear where each included header file can be found, but this is probably not necessary in most cases, because the path name of a header usually indicates which library it is located in.
If there is more than one header, they should be listed as descendants of the project's source directory without use of UNIX directory shortcuts `.` (the current directory) or `..` (the parent directory), and live in a `Kaleidoscope` subdirectory. For example, if we have a plugin named `Kaleidoscope-Something`, which has an additional header file other than `Kaleidoscope-Something.h`, it should be in `src/Kaleidoscope/Something-Other.h`, and be included as:
For example, the includes in `Kaleidoscope-Something/src/kaleidoscope/Something.cpp` might look like this:
```c++
#include "Kaleidoscope-Something.h"
#include "Kaleidoscope/Something-Other.h"
#include "kaleidoscope/Something.h"
#include<Arduino.h>
#include<Kaleidoscope-Ranges.h>
#include<stdint.h>
#include "kaleidoscope/KeyAddr.h"
#include "kaleidoscope/KeyEvent.h"
#include "kaleidoscope/key_defs.h"
#include "kaleidoscope/plugin/something/utils.h"
```
Having more than one level of subdirectories is not recommended.
**Exception**
In `dir/foo.cpp` or `dir/foo_test.cpp`, whose main purpose is to implement or test the stuff in `dir2/foo2.h`, order your includes as follows:
Sometimes, system-specific code needs conditional includes. Such code can put conditional includes after other includes. Of course, keep your system-specific code small and localized. Example:
1. `dir2/foo2.h`
2. Arduino libraries.
3. Other libraries' `.h` files.
4. Your project's `.h` files.
```c++
#if defined(ARDUINO_AVR_MODEL01)
#include "kaleidoscope/Something-AVR-Model01.h"
#endif
With the preferred ordering, if `dir2/foo2.h` omits any necessary includes, the build of `dir/foo.cpp` or `dir/foo_test.cpp` will break. Thus, this rule ensures that build breakages show up first for the people working on these files, not for innocent people in other packages.
#if defined(ARDUINO_AVR_SHORTCUT)
#include "kaleidoscope/Something-AVR-Shortcut.h"
#endif
```
`dir/foo.cc` and `dir2/foo2.h` are usually in the same directory (e.g. `Kaleidoscope/Something_test.cpp` and `Kaleidoscope/Something.h`), but may sometimes be in different directories too.
### Top-level Arduinio Library Headers
Within each section the includes should be ordered alphabetically.
All libraries must have at least one header in their top-level `src/` directory, to be included without any path components. This is the way Arduino finds libraries, and a limitation we must adhere to. These headers should - in general - include any other headers they may need, so that the consumer of the library only has to include one header. The name of this header must be the same as the name of the library.
You should include all the headers that define the symbols you rely upon, except in the unusual case of [forward declarations](#forward-declarations). If you rely on symbols from `bar.h`, don't count on the fact that you included `foo.h` which (currently) includes `bar.h`: include `bar.h` yourself, unless `foo.h` explicitly demonstrates its intent to provide you the symbols of `bar.h`. However, any includes present in the related header do not need to be included again in the related `cc` (i.e., `foo.cc` can rely on `foo.h`'s includes).
The naming convention for Kaleidoscope plugins is to use the `Kaleidoscope-` prefix: e.g. `Kaleidoscope-Something`, which would have a top-level header named `Kaleidoscope-Something.h` in its `src/` directory.
For example, the includes in `Kaleidoscope-Something/src/Kaleidoscope/Something.cpp` might look like this:
In the case of Kaleidoscope plugin libraries, the number of source and header files tends to be very small (usually just one `*.cpp` file and its associated header, in addition to the library's top-level header). When one plugin depends on another, we therefore only include the top-level header of the dependency. For example, if `Kaleidoscope-OtherThing` depends on `Kaleidoscope-Something`, the file `kaleidoscope/plugin/OtherThing.h` will contain the line:
```c++
#include "Kaleidoscope/Something.h"
#include<Kaleidoscope-Something.h>
```
#include "Arduino.h"
…and `Kaleidoscope-Something.h` will look like this:
#include "Kaleidoscope-LEDControl.h"
#include "Kaleidoscope-Focus.h"
```c++
#include "kaleidoscope/plugin/Something.h"
```
**Exception**
This both makes it clearer where to find the included code, and allows the restructuring of that code without breaking the dependent library (assuming the symbols haven't changed as well).
Sometimes, system-specific code needs conditional includes. Such code can put conditional includes after other includes. Of course, keep your system-specific code small and localized. Example:
If a plugin library has symbols meant to be exported, and more than one header file in which those symbols are defined, all such header files should be included in the top-level header for the library. For example, if `Kaleidoscope-Something` defines types `kaleidoscope::plugin::Something` and `kaleidoscope::plugin::something::Helper`, both of which are meant to be accessible by `Kaleidoscope-OtherThing`, the top-level header `Kaleidoscope-Something.h` should look like this:
```c++
#include "Kaleidoscope.h"
#include "kaleidoscope/plugin/Something.h"
#include "kaleidoscope/plugin/something/Helper.h"
```
#if defined(ARDUINO_AVR_MODEL01)
#include "Kaleidoscope/Something-AVR-Model01.h"
#endif

We have an automated wrapper for the `include-what-you-use` program from LLVM that processes most Kaleidoscope source files and updates their header includes to comply with the style guide. It requires at least version 0.18 of `include-what-you-use` in order to function properly (because earlier versions do not return a useful exit code, so determining if there was an error was difficult). It can be run by using the `make check-includes` target in the Kaleidoscope Makefile.

Coding style and formatting are pretty arbitrary, but a project is much easier to follow if everyone uses the same style. Individuals may not agree with every aspect of the formatting rules, and some of the rules may take some getting used to, but it is important that all project contributors follow the style rules so that they can all read and understand everyone's code easily.
To help you format code correctly, we use "Artistic Style" 3.0. The `make astyle` target is available in the Kaleidoscope and plugin Makefiles. Our CI infrastructure enforces `astyle`'s decisions.
To help format code in compliance with this style guide, we use `clang-format`, which many editors can be configured to call automatically. There is also `make format` target available in the Kaleidoscope Makefile that will use `clang-format` to format all the core and plugin code. Our CI infrastructure checks to ensure that code has been formatted to these specifications.

If you find yourself modifying code that was written to specifications other than those presented by this guide, you may have to diverge from these rules in order to stay consistent with the local conventions in that code. If you are in doubt about how to do this, ask the original author or the person currently responsible for the code. Remember that *consistency* includes local consistency, too.
## Maintenance Tools
Kaleidoscope uses some automated tools to enforce compliance with this code style guide. Primarily, we use `clang-format` to format source files, `cpplint` to check for potential problems, and `include-what-you-use` to update header includes. These are invoked using python scripts that supply all of the necessary command-line parameters to both utilities. For convenience, there are also some shell scripts and makefile targets that further simplify the process of running these utilities properly.
### Code Formatting
We use `clang-format`(version 12 or higher) to automatically format Kaleidoscope source files. There is a top-level `.clang-format` config file that contains the settings that best match the style described in this guide. However, there are some files in the repository that are, for one reason or another, exempt from formatting in this way, so we use a wrapper script, `format-code.py`, instead of invoking it directly.
`format-code.py` takes a list of target filenames, either as command-line parameters or from standard input (if reading from a pipe, with each line treated as a filename), and formats those files. If given a directory target, it will recursively search that directory for source files, and format all of the ones it finds.
By default, `format-code.py` will first check for unstaged changes in the Kaleidoscope git working tree, and exit before formatting source files if any are found. This is meant to make it easier for developers to see the changes made by the formatter in isolation. It can be given the `--force` option to skip this check.
It also has a `--check` option, which will cause `format-code.py` to check for unstaged git working tree changes after running `clang-format` on the target source files, and return an error code if there are any, allowing us to automatically verify that code submitted complies with the formatting rules.
The easiest way to invoke the formatter on the whole repository is by running `make format` at the top level of the Kaleidoscope repository.
For automated checking of PRs in a CI tool, there is also `make check-code-style`.
### Linting
We use a copy of `cpplint.py` (with a modification that allows us to set the config file) to check for potential problems in the code. This can be invoked by running `make cpplint` at the top level of the Kaleidoscope repository.
### Header Includes
We use `include-what-you-use` (version 18 or higher) to automatically manage header includes in Kaleidoscope source files. Because of the peculiarities of Kaleidoscope's build system, we use a wrapper script, `iwyu.py`, instead of invoking it directly.
`iwyu.py` takes a list of target filenames, either as command-line parameters or from standard input (if reading from a pipe, with each line treated as a filename), and makes changes to the header includes. If given a directory target, it will recursively search that directory for source files, and run `include-what-you-use` on all of the ones it finds.
A number of files can't be processed this way, and are enumerated in `.iwyu_ignore`. Files in the `testing` directory (for the test simulator) require different include path items, so cannot be combined in the same call to `iwyu.py`.
The easiest way to invoke `iwyu.py` is by running `make check-includes`, which will check all files that differ between the git working tree and the current master branch of the main Kaleidoscope repository, update their headers, and return a non-zero exit code if there were any errors processing the file(s) or any changes made.
For automated checking of header includes in a CI tool, there is also `make check-all-includes`, that checks the whole repository, not just the current branch's changes.

These terms commonly arise when discussing the firmware.
### Keyswitch
A single physical input, such as a keyswitch or other input like a knob or a slider
### Key number
An integer representing a Keyswitch’s position in the “Physical Layout”. Represented in the code by the `KeyAddr` type.
### Physical Layout
A mapping of keyswitches to key numbers
### Key binding
A mapping from a key number to a behavior.
### `Key`
A representation of a specific behavior. Most often a representation of a specific entry in the USB HID Usage Tables.
### Keymap
A list of key bindings for all keyswitchess on the Physical Layout. Represented in the code by the `KeyMap` type.
### Keymaps
An ordered list of all the Keymaps installed on a keyboard.
### Layer
An entry in that ordered list of keymaps. Each layer has a unique id number that does not change. Layer numbers start at 0.
### Active Layer Stack
An ordered list of all the currently-active layers, in the order they should be evaluated when figuring out what a key does.
### Live keys
A representation of the current state of the keyboard's keys, where non-transparent entries indicate keys that are active (logically—usually, but not necessarily, physically held). Represented in the code by the `LiveKeys` type (and the `live_keys` object).
#### Active/inactive keys
In the `live_keys[]` array, an _active_ key usually corresponds to a keyswitch that is physically pressed. In the common case of HID Keyboard keys, an active key will result in one or more keycodes being inserted in any new HID report. In some cases, an key can be active when its physical keyswitch is not pressed (e.g. OneShot keys that have been tapped), and in other cases a key might be _inactive_ even though its keyswitch is pressed (e.g. a Qukeys key whose value has not yet been resolved). Inactive keys are represented in the `live_keys[]` array by the special value `Key_Inactive`.
#### Masked keys
In the `live_keys[]` array, a _masked_ key is one whose next key press (either physical or logical) will be ignored. A masked key is automatically unmasked the next time it toggles off. Masked keys are represented by the special value `Key_Masked`.
## Keyswitch state
### Pressed
The state of a keyswitch that has been actuated by the user or a routine acting on behalf of the user
### Unpressed
The state of a keyswitch that is not currently actuated
### Toggled on
The state of a keyswitch that was not pressed during the last scan cycle and is now pressed.

While keyboards usually ship with a keymap programmed in, to be able to change that keymap, without flashing new firmware, we need a way to place the keymap into a place we can update at run-time, and which persists across reboots. Fortunately, we have a bit of EEPROM on the keyboard, and can use it to store either the full keymap (and saving space in the firmware then), or store an overlay there. In the latter case, whenever there is a non-transparent key on the overlay, we will use that instead of the keyboard default.

This is a brief guide intended for those who want to write custom Kaleidoscope plugins. It covers basic things you'll need to know about how Kaleidoscope calls plugin event handlers, and how it will respond to actions taken by those plugins.
## What can a plugin do?
There are many things that Kaleidoscope plugins are capable of, from LED effects, serial communication with the host, altering HID reports, and interacting with other plugins. It's useful to break these capabilities down into some broad categories, based on the types of input a plugin can respond to.
- Key events (key switches toggling on and off)
- Focus commands (sent to the keyboard from software on the host via the serial port)
- LED updates
- Keymap layer changes
- Timers
## An example plugin
To make a Kaleidoscope plugin, we create a subclass of the `kaleidoscope::Plugin` class, usually in the `kaleidoscope::plugin` namespace:
```c++
namespace kaleidoscope {
namespace plugin {
class MyPlugin : public Plugin {};
} // namespace kaleidoscope
} // namespace plugin
```
This code can be placed in a separate C++ source file, but it's simplest to just define it right in the sketch's \*.ino file for now.
By convention, we create a singleton object named like the plugin's class in the global namespace. This is typical of Arduino code.
```c++
kaleidoscope::plugin::MyPlugin MyPlugin;
```
Next, in order to connect that plugin to the Kaleidoscope event handler system, we need to register it in the call to the preprocessor macro `KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS()` in the sketch:
```c++
KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS(MyPlugin, OtherPlugin);
```
To make our plugin do anything useful, we need to add [[event-handler-hooks]] to it. This is how Kaleidoscope delivers input events to its registered plugins. Here's an example:
```c++
class MyPlugin : public Plugin {
public:
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event);
};
```
This will result in `MyPlugin.onKeyEvent()` being called (along with other plugins' `onKeyEvent()` methods) when Kaleidoscope detects a key state change. This function returns one of three `EventHandlerResult` values:
- `EventHandlerResult::OK` indicates that Kaleidoscope should proceed on to the event handler for the next plugin in the chain.
- `EventHandlerResult::ABORT` indicates that Kaleidoscope should stop processing immediately, and treat the event as if it didn't happen.
- `EventHandlerResult::EVENT_CONSUMED` stops event processing like `ABORT`, but records that the key is being held.
The `onKeyEvent()` method takes one argument: a reference to a `KeyEvent` object, which is a simple container for these essential bits of information:
- `event.addr` — the physical location of the keyswitch, if any
- `event.state` — a bitfield containing information on the current and previous state of the keyswitch (from which we can find out if it just toggled on or toggled off)
- `event.key` — a 16-bit `Key` value containing the contents looked up from the sketch's current keymap (if the key just toggled on) or the current live value of the key (if the key just toggled off)
Because the `KeyEvent` parameter is passed by (mutable) reference, our plugin's `onKeyEvent()` method can alter the components of the event, causing subsequent plugins (and, eventually, Kaleidoscope itself) to treat it as if it was a different event. In practice, except in very rare cases, the only member of a `KeyEvent` that a plugin should alter is `event.key`. Here's a very simple `onKeyEvent()` handler that changes all `X` keys into `Y` keys:
```c++
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if (event.key == Key_X)
event.key = Key_Y;
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
```
### The difference between `ABORT`&`EVENT_CONSUMED`
Here's a plugin that will suppress all `X` key events:
```c++
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if (event.key == Key_X)
return EventHandlerResult::ABORT;
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
```
Here's an almost identical plugin that has an odd failure mode:
```c++
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if (event.key == Key_X)
return EventHandlerResult::EVENT_CONSUMED;
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
```
In this case, when an `X` key is pressed, no Keyboard HID report will be generated and sent to the host, but the key will still be recorded by Kaleidoscope as "live". If we hold that key down and press a `Y` key, we will suddenly see both `x`_and_`y` in the output on the host. This is because returning `ABORT` suppresses the key event entirely, as if it never happened, whereas `EVENT_CONSUMED` signals to Kaleidoscope that the key should still become "live", but that no further processing is necessary. In this case, since we want to suppress all `X` keys entirely, we should return `ABORT`.
### A complete in-sketch plugin
Here's an example of a very simple plugin, defined as it would be in a firmware sketch (e.g. a `*.ino` file):
```c++
namespace kaleidoscope {
namespace plugin {
class KillX : public Plugin {
public:
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if (event.key == Key_X)
return EventHandlerResult::ABORT;
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
};
} // namespace kaleidoscope
} // namespace plugin
kaleidoscope::plugin::KillX;
```
On its own, this plugin won't have any effect unless we register it later in the sketch like this:
```c++
KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS(KillX);
```
Note: `KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS()` should only appear once in a sketch, with a list of all the plugins to be registered.
## Plugin registration order
Obviously, the `KillX` plugin isn't very useful. But more important, it's got a potential problem. Suppose we had another plugin defined, like so:
```c++
namespace kaleidoscope {
namespace plugin {
class YtoX : public Plugin {
public:
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if (event.key == Key_Y)
event.key = Key_X;
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
};
} // namespace kaleidoscope
} // namespace plugin
kaleidoscope::plugin::YtoX;
```
`YtoX` changes any `Y` key to an `X` key. These two plugins both work fine on their own, but when we put them together, we get some undesirable behavior. Let's try it this way first:
```c++
KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS(YtoX, KillX);
```
This registers both plugins' event handlers with Kaleidoscope, in order, so for each `KeyEvent` generated in response to a keyswitch toggling on or off, `YtoX.onKeyEvent(event)` will get called first, then `KillX.onKeyEvent(event)` will get called.
If we press `X`, the `YtoX` plugin will effectively ignore the event, allowing it to pass through to `KillX`, which will abort the event.
If we press `Y`, `YtoX.onKeyEvent()` will change `event.key` from `Key_Y` to `Key_X`. Then, `KillX.onKeyEvent()` will abort the event. As a result, both `X` and `Y` keys will be suppressed by the combination of the two plugins.
---
Now, let's try the same two plugins in the other order:
```c++
KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS(KillX, YtoX);
```
If we press `X`, its keypress event will get aborted by `KillX.onKeyEvent()`, and that key will not become live, so when it gets released, the event generated won't have the value `Key_X`, but will instead by `Key_Inactive`, which will not result in anything happening, either from the plugins or from Kaleidoscope itself.
Things get interesting if we press and release `Y`, though. First, `KillX.onKeyEvent()` will simply return `OK`, allowing `YtoX.onKeyEvent()` to change `event.key` from `Key_Y` to `Key_X`, causing that `Key_X` to become live, and sending its keycode to the host in the Keyboard USB HID report. That's all as expected, but then we release the key, and that's were it goes wrong.
`KillX.onKeyEvent()` doesn't distinguish between presses and releases. When a key toggles off, rather than looking up that key's value in the keymap, Kaleidoscope takes it from the live keys array. That means that `event.key` will be `Key_X` when `KillX.onKeyEvent()` is called, which will result in that event being aborted. And when an event is aborted, the key's entry in the live keys array doesn't get updated, so Kaleidoscope will treat it as if the key is still held after release. Thus, far from preventing the keycode for `X` getting to the host, it keeps that key pressed forever! The `X` key becomes "stuck on" because the plugin suppresses both key _presses_ and key _releases_.
### Differentiating between press and release events
There is a solution to this problem, which is to have `KillX` suppress `Key_X` toggle-on events, but not toggle-off events:
if (event.key == Key_X && keyToggledOn(event.state))
return EventHandlerResult::ABORT;
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
```
Kaleidoscope provides `keyToggledOn()` and `keyToggledOff()` functions that operate on the `event.state` bitfield, allowing plugins to differentiate between the two different event states. With this new version of the `KillX` plugin, it won't keep an `X` key live, but it will stop one from _becoming_ live.
Our two plugins still yield results that depend on registration order in `KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS()`, but the bug where the `X` key becomes "stuck on" is gone.
It is very common for plugins to only act on key toggle-on events, or to respond differently to toggle-on and toggle-off events.
## Timers
Another thing that many plugins need to do is handle timeouts. For example, the OneShot plugin keeps certain keys live for a period of time after those keys are released. Kaleidoscope provides some infrastructure to help us keep track of time, starting with the `afterEachCycle()` "event" handler function.
The `onKeyEvent()` handlers only get called in response to keyswitches toggling on and off (or as a result of plugins calling `Runtime.handleKeyEvent()`). If the user isn't actively typing for a period, its `onKeyEvent()` handler won't get called at all, so it's not very useful to check timers in that function. Instead, if we need to know if a timer has expired, we need to do it in a function that gets called regularly, regardless of input. The `afterEachCycle()` handler gets called once per cycle, guaranteed.
This is what an `afterEachCycle()` handler looks like:
```c++
EventHandlerResult afterEachCycle() {
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
```
It returns an `EventHandlerResult`, like other event handlers, but this one's return value is ignored by Kaleidoscope; returning `ABORT` or `EVENT_CONSUMED` has no effect on other plugins.
In addition to this, we need a way to keep track of time. For this, Kaleidoscope provides the function `Runtime.millisAtCycleStart()`, which returns an unsigned integer representing the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the keyboard started. It's a 32-bit integer, so it won't overflow until about one month has elapsed, but we usually want to use as few bytes of RAM as possible on our MCU, so most timers store only as many bytes as needed, usually a `uint16_t`, which overflows after about one minute, or even a `uint8_t`, which is good for up to a quarter of a second.
We need to use an integer type that's at least as big as the longest timeout we expect to be used, but integer overflow can still give us the wrong answer if we check it by naïvely comparing the current time to the time at expiration, so Kaleidoscope provides a timeout-checking service that's handles the integer overflow properly: `Runtime.hasTimeExpired(start_time, timeout)`. To use it, your plugin should store a timestamp when the timer begins, using `Runtime.millisAtCycleStart()` (usually set in response to an event in `onKeyEvent()`). Then, in its `afterEachCycle()` call `hasTimeExpired()`:
```c++
namespace kaleidoscope {
namespace plugin {
class MyPlugin : public Plugin {
public:
constexpr uint16_t timeout = 500;
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if (event.key == Key_X && keyToggledOn(event.state)) {
start_time_ = Runtime.millisAtCycleStart();
timer_running_ = true;
}
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
EventHandlerResult afterEachCycle() {
if (Runtime.hasTimeExpired(start_time_, timeout)) {
timer_running_ = false;
// do something...
}
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
private:
bool timer_running_ = false;
uint16_t start_time_;
};
} // namespace kaleidoscope
} // namespace plugin
kaleidoscope::plugin::MyPlugin;
```
In the above example, the private member variable `start_time_` and the constant `timeout` are the same type of unsigned integer (`uint16_t`), and we've used the additional boolean `timer_running_` to keep from checking for timeouts when `start_time_` isn't valid. This plugin does something (unspecified) 500 milliseconds after a `Key_X` toggles on.
## Creating additional events
Another thing we might want a plugin to do is generate "extra" events that don't correspond to physical state changes. An example of this is the Macros plugin, which might turn a single keypress into a series of HID reports sent to the host. Let's build a simple plugin to illustrate how this is done, by making a key type a string of characters, rather than a single one.
For the sake of simplicity, let's make the key `H` result in the string `Hi!` being typed (from the point of view of the host computer). To do this, we'll make a plugin with an `onKeyEvent()` handler (because we want it to respond to a particular keypress event), which will call `Runtime.handleKeyEvent()` to generate new events sent to the host.
The first thing we need to understand to do this is how to use the `KeyEvent()` constructor to create a new `KeyEvent` object. For example:
This creates a `KeyEvent` where `event.addr` is an invalid address that doesn't correspond to a physical keyswitch, `event.state` has only the `IS_PRESSED` bit set, but not `WAS_PRESSED`, which corresponds to a key toggle-on event, and `event.key` is set to `Key_H`.
We can then cause Kaleidoscope to process this event, including calling plugin handlers, by calling `Runtime.handleKeyEvent(event)`:
```c++
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if (event.key == Key_H && keyToggledOn(event.state)) {
A few shortcuts were taken with this plugin that are worth pointing out. First, you may have noticed that we didn't send any key _release_ events, just three presses. This works, but there's a small chance that it could cause problems for some plugin that's trying to match key presses and releases. To be nice (or pedantic, if you will), we could also send the matching release events, but this is probably not necessary in this case, because we've used an invalid key address (`KeyAddr::none()`) for these generated events. This means that Kaleidoscope will not be recording these events as held keys. If we had used valid key addresses (corresponding to physical keyswitches) instead, it would be more important to send matching release events to keep keys from getting "stuck" on. For example, we could just use the address of the `H` key that was pressed:
```c++
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if (event.key == Key_H && keyToggledOn(event.state)) {
This new version has the curious property that if the `H` key is held long enough, it will result in repeating `!!!!` characters on the host, until the key is released, which will clear it. In fact, instead of creating a whole new `KeyEvent` object, we could further simplify this plugin by simply modifying the `event` object that we already have, instead:
```c++
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if (event.key == Key_H && keyToggledOn(event.state)) {
event.key = LSHIFT(Key_H);
Runtime.handleKeyEvent(event);
event.key = Key_I;
Runtime.handleKeyEvent(event);
event.key = LSHIFT(Key_1);
}
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
```
Note that, with this version, we've only sent two extra events, then changed the `event.key` value, and returned `OK` instead of `ABORT`. This is basically the same as the above pluging that turned `Y` into `X`, but with two extra events sent first.
As one extra precaution, it would be wise to mark the generated event(s) as "injected" to let other plugins know that these events should be ignored. This is a convention that is used by many existing Kaleidoscope plugins. We do this by setting the `INJECTED` bit in the `event.state` variable:
```c++
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if (event.key == Key_H && keyToggledOn(event.state)) {
event.state |= INJECTED;
event.key = LSHIFT(Key_H);
Runtime.handleKeyEvent(event);
event.key = Key_I;
Runtime.handleKeyEvent(event);
event.key = LSHIFT(Key_1);
}
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
```
If we wanted to be especially careful, we could also add the corresponding release events:
```c++
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if (event.key == Key_H && keyToggledOn(event.state)) {
event.key = LSHIFT(Key_H);
event.state = INJECTED | IS_PRESSED;
Runtime.handleKeyEvent(event);
event.state = INJECTED | WAS_PRESSED;
Runtime.handleKeyEvent(event);
event.key = Key_I;
event.state = INJECTED | IS_PRESSED;
Runtime.handleKeyEvent(event);
event.state = INJECTED | WAS_PRESSED;
Runtime.handleKeyEvent(event);
event.key = LSHIFT(Key_1);
event.state = INJECTED | IS_PRESSED;
}
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
```
### Avoiding infinite loops
One very important consideration for any plugin that calls `Runtime.handleKeyEvent()` from an `onKeyEvent()` handler is recursion. `Runtime.handleKeyEvent()` will call all plugins' `onKeyEvent()` handlers, including the one that generated the event. Therefore, we need to take some measures to short-circuit the resulting recursive call so that our plugin doesn't cause an infinite loop.
Suppose the example plugin above was changed to type the string `hi!` instead of `Hi!`. When sending the first generated event, with `event.key` set to `Key_H`, our plugin would recognize that event as one that should be acted on, and make another call to `Runtime.handleKeyEvent()`, which would again call `MyPlugin.onKeyEvent()`, and so on until the MCU ran out of memory on the stack.
The simplest mechanism used by many plugins that mark their generated events "injected" is to simply ignore all generated events:
```c++
EventHandlerResult onKeyEvent(KeyEvent &event) {
if ((event.state & INJECTED) != 0)
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
if (event.key == Key_H && keyToggledOn(event.state)) {
event.state |= INJECTED;
event.key = LSHIFT(Key_H);
Runtime.handleKeyEvent(event);
event.key = Key_I;
Runtime.handleKeyEvent(event);
event.key = LSHIFT(Key_1);
}
return EventHandlerResult::OK;
}
```
There are other techniques to avoid inifinite loops, employed by plugins whose injected events should be processed by other plugins, but since most of those will be using the `onKeyswitchEvent()` handler instead of `onKeyEvent()`, we'll cover that later in this guide.
## Physical keyswitch events
Most plugins that respond to key events can do their work using the `onKeyEvent()` handler, but in some cases, it's necessary to use the `onKeyswitchEvent()` handler instead. These event handlers are strictly intended for physical keyswitch events, and plugins that implement the `onKeyswitchEvent()` handler must abide by certain rules in order to work well with each other. As a result, such a plugin is a bit more complex, but there are helper mechanisms to make things easier:
We've just added a `KeyEventTracker` object to our plugin, and made the first line of its `onKeyswitchEvent()` handler call that event tracker's `shouldIgnore()` method, returning `OK` if it returns `true` (thereby ignoring the event). Every plugin that implements `onKeyswitchEvent()` should follow this template to avoid plugin interaction bugs, including possible infinite loops.
The main reason for this event tracker mechanism is that plugins with `onKeyswitchEvent()` handlers often delay events because some aspect of those events (usually `event.key`) needs to be determined by subsequent events or timeouts. To do this, event information is stored, and the event is later regenerated by the plugin, which calls `Runtime.handleKeyswitchEvent()` so that the other `onKeyswitchEvent()` handlers can process it.
We need to prevent infinite loops, but simply marking the regenerated event `INJECTED` is no good, because it would prevent the other plugins from acting on it, so we instead keep track of a monotonically increasing event id number and use the `KeyEventTracker` helper class to ignore events that our plugin has already recieved, so that when the plugin regenerates an event with the same event id, it (and all the plugins before it) can ignore that event, but the subsequent plugins, which haven't seen that event yet, will recongize it as new and process the event accordingly.
### Regenerating stored events
When a plugin that implements `onKeyswitchEvent()` regenerates a stored event later so that it can be processed by the next plugin in the chain, it must use the correct event id value (the same one used by the original event). This is an object of type `EventId`, and is retrieved by calling `event.id()` (unlike the other properties of a `KeyEvent` object the event id is not directly accessible).
```c++
KeyEventId stored_id = event.id();
```
When reconstructing an event to allow it to proceed, we then use the four-argument version of the `KeyEvent` constructor:
In the above, `addr` and `state` are usually also the same as the original event's values, and `key` is most often the thing that changes. If your plugin wants a keymap lookup to take place, the value `Key_Undefined` can be used instead of explicitly doing the lookup itself.
