# Leader Key
|
||||
The leader key acts as a prefix to a key sequence. These can be used to trigger macros quickly
|
||||
without dedicated keys set to each function. For those of you who dislike key combos, such as
|
||||
Ctrl+Shift+Esc, then this feature is for you. This is very much inspired from vim.
|
||||
|
||||
Leader key sequences can be as long or short as you like. The action must be a macro, so it
|
||||
can be things like unicode macros, or generic macros. The example below shows how you would
|
||||
trigger task manager in Windows with a leader sequence. By default Leader Mode is ENTER, which
|
||||
means that after your sequence you will hit ENTER to trigger the sequence completion, or ESC to
|
||||
cancel the sequence.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Assign a key to KC.LEAD
|
||||
2. Above your keymap, include a LEADER_DICTIONARY.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from kmk.macros.simple import simple_key_sequence
|
||||
|
||||
LEADER_DICTIONARY = {
|
||||
(KC.T, KC.A, KC.S, KC.K): simple_key_sequence(Modifiers.KC_LCTRL(Modifiers.KC_LSHIFT(Common.KC_ESC)))
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
keymap = [...KC.LEAD,...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Modes
|
||||
Modes avaliable (WARNING: LeaderMode.ENTER is currently the only one avaliable.)
|
||||
1. LeaderMode.DEFAULT
|
||||
2. LeaderMode.ENTER
|
||||
|
||||
### DEFAULT #WARNING# NOT AVALIBLE YET
|
||||
Will expire after a timer and trigger the sequence that matches if any.
|
||||
This can be enabled with
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from kmk.consts.LederMode
|
||||
leader_mode = LeaderMode.DEFAULT
|
||||
```
|
||||
The timeout can be set like this
|
||||
```python
|
||||
leader_timeout = 2000
|
||||
```
|
||||
### ENTER
|
||||
Has no timeout. To end sequence press the enter key, or cancel and do nothing, press escape.
|
||||
This can be enabled with
|
||||
|
||||
from kmk.consts.LederMode
|
||||
leader_mode = LeaderMode.ENTER

||||
