Is it possible to dump the current config of a keyboard?

Open robinmoussu opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

I didn't found in the docs if it was possible to dump the current config of the keyboard. I don't know either if it's possible, but it could be useful in case somone already did some changes using the windows drivers.

@robinmoussu I haven't discovered a way to do it yet. I'm pretty sure the windows driver just remembers what it did the last time, based on alternating between windows and linux.

I tried the following:

  1. Configured the keyboard using the windows software on machine 1
  2. Plugged it into a different Windows machine
  3. Opened the driver for configuration

On the 2nd machine, the software had no idea about the mapping stored on the keyboard so while it may still technically be possible, it doesn't work using the official Windows software.

Anyone found a way to export the config from windows to the xbows-driver YAML format?
