LayerNames

This plugin provides a [Focus][plugin:focus]-based interface for storing custom layer names, to be used by software such as 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:

#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
< .
