Lightning support for RGB_Matrix

[ToastyStoemp]

Via currently does not support RGB_Matrix lightning controls (you can assign the keycodes to switches, but can't directly set the animation and colour from the app)

Would be a huge feature if this was possible through Remap

@ToastyStoemp We recognize that Remap already have such lightning control feature like the following:

Was the feature you mentioned like the above?

[ToastyStoemp]

This control is only for RGB lightning, Adding control for RGB Matrix lightning is what I'm hoping for.

RGB Matrix allows you to map LED's to specific switches, example from the KeyBee65 PCB:

RGB Matrix also allows you to have per key LED and underglow in one chain of individually addressable led's.

Mock-up

[yoichiro]

@ToastyStoemp Ah, I see. Yes, the RGB lightning and RGB Matrix are different. But, unfortunately, I guess that we cannot implement such feature currently. Because, Remap uses the VIA protocol to implement each feature, but I recognize that the VIA protocol does not support the RGB matrix.

[ToastyStoemp]

Ah so it's not something we could add without via supporting it

It's supported now: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/quantum/via.c#L637 Since: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/16086
