Support for animation on keystroke?

Open Icemole opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hello, I was wondering whether there is support for RGB animations on keystrokes, such as the ones that appear on the keyboard when pressing Fn+F6 on the standard layer. I have not seen it anywhere on the docs, but I may have missed it.

In case there isn't at the moment, would this fit in the project's priorities, or would it even be possible? According to the staff at X-Bows, there's no support for doing this on the official Windows driver software.

Hi @Icemole, sorry for the long delay in answering.
It's been a while since I looked at the keyboard, but I think it is in fact possible to do some keystroke animations. I'm thinking I'd like to dust this off, fix the reported segfault, and continue improving things.

In the spec.md file, I see there is a feature called flashlight which does what you're talking about. So given that, I do consider it reasonable to try to do with this software.

By the way, everything in spec.md came from my using the windows driver and monitoring USB messages to see what was being sent to the keyboard.
