This does a bunch of crazy stuff:
- The ability to set a unicode mode (right now only Linux+ibus or
MacOS-RALT) in the keymap. This will be changeable at runtime soon, to
allow a single keyboard to be able to send table flips and whatever
other crazy stuff on any OS the board is plugged into (something that's
not currently doable on QMK, so yay us?)
- As part of the above, there is now just one user-facing macro for
unicode codepoint submission,
`kmk.common.macros.unicode.unicode_sequence`. Users should never use the
platform-specific macros, partly because they just outright won't work.
There's all sorts of fun stuff in these methods now, thank goodness
MicroPython supports the `yield from` construct.
- Keycode (these should really be renamed Keysym or something) objects
that are intended to not be pressed, or not be released. Right now these
properties are completely ignored if not part of a macro, and it's
probably sane to keep it that way. This was necessary to support MacOS's
"hold RALT while typing the codepoint characters" flow.
- Other refactor-y bits, like moving macro support to `kmk/common`
rather than sitting at the top level of the tree. One day `kmk/common`
may make sense to surface at top level `kmk/`, but that's a discussion
for another day.
What a short title for such a massive diff.
This (heavily squashed) commit adds support for Consumer keys such as
volume keys, media play/pause/stop, etc. by exposing four HID devices
over a single USB lane (as opposed to just exposing a keyboard). This
heavily refactors how HIDHelper works due to the new reporting
structure.
Many of the media keys were changed (mostly Keycodes.Media section), but
many (especially anything regarding Application keys) haven't been
touched yet - thus many keycodes may still be wrong. Probably worth
updating those soon, but I didn't get around to it yet. The definitive
list I refered to was
http://www.freebsddiary.org/APC/usb_hid_usages.php, which is basically
copy-pasta from the official USB HID spec at
https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/documents/hut1_12v2.pdf
(warning: massive PDF, not light reading).
The only known regression this introduces is that instead of 6KRO as the
USB spec usually supports, we can now only have 5KRO (maybe even 4KRO),
for reasons I have yet to fully debug - this seems to be related to the
report having to include the device descriptor _and_ not supporting a
full 8 bytes as it used to. For now I'm willing to accept this, but it
definitely will be great to squash that bug.
This adds descriptor support for MOUSE and SYSCONTROL devices, as of yet
unimplemented.
This removes the need for the user to define... most things, honestly.
Notably, `main()` is no longer the end user's responsibility. This also
allows us to do fun stuff going forward like validating keymaps for
sanity (ex: the key assigned to `KC_MO(x)` should be assigned to
`KC_TRNS` on the target layer or the user will never be able to escape
that layer).
This also disambiguates `BOARD` to always refer to an actual slab of
silicon, renaming to `USER_KEYMAP`.
Entrypoints are now a bit more wild, and mostly-unsupported boards no
longer have working entrypoints. It's probably just time to scrap those
boards for now (until we have BLE HID and/or bitbang USB HID, at least).
Wow, what a trip this was. Layer support is now fully implemented. Other
changes here mostly revolve around the event dispatching model: more
floating state (hidden in clases wherever) has been purged, with the
reducer (now mutable, comments inline) serving, as it should, as the
sole source of truth. Thunk support has been added to our fake Redux
clone, allowing Action Creators to handle sequences of events (which is
arguably a cleaner way of handling matrix changes when not all matrix
changes should result in a new HID report - in the case of internal
keys). A whole class has been deprecated (Keymap) which only served as
another arbitor of state: instead, the MatrixScanner has been made
smarter and handles diffing internally, dispatching an Action when
needed (and allowing the reducer to parse the keymap and figure out what
key is pressed - this is the infinitely cleaner solution when layers
come into play).
