Kaleidoscope-FingerPainter

The FingerPainter plugin provides an elaborate LED mode, in which one's able to paint with their fingers: when edit mode is toggled on, keys will - instead of performing their normal function - cycle through the global palette - as provided by the LED-Palette-Theme plugin -, one by one for each tap.

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