TMK Generic

• I'm not sure what the Magic + H does. Is this a menu that will pop up regardless of what platform and program is open?

Yes, this is sort of debugging. Use PJRC's hid_listen to see debug messages.

TMK/Ergodox specific

• I would like to configure my leds to indicate the active layer. I read that can be done, but I haven't seen an example for this firmware. Can someone please post an example or a link?

TMK for Ergodox have support for seven (!) led's:

• three on right
• three on left (see http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=22780.msg873819#msg873819 for more details)
• Teensy onboard led as well

Any of these leds can be used as layer indicator or NumLock/CapsLock/ScrollLock led.

Here is example how you can assign some meaning to each led. In this code only left leds are used to show layers, but you can change led_set() and do anything you want with all leds.

Things TO-DO

• Flash NumLock led only when "numpad" layer is active
• Command (in terms of IS_COMMAND) to switch to no-leds mode
• Increase count of ACTION keys
• Fix command_state() onboard led: it should flash only when kbd in some specific mode (CONSOLE || MOUSE)
• ergodox_blink_all_leds() should save current state of leds, and restore after blink. initial state of all leds == off
• add support for pseudo-backlight (reversed LEDs) + docs/photo
• command to debug all LEDs (on/off/blink)
• proper (in-core) implementation of DEBUG_MATRIX_SCAN_RATE (non-Ergodox specific)
• proper (in-core) support for per-layer fn_actions[]
