Just those in elros34's repository (see first post) as far as I know, so not a comprehensive knowledge base, but they already are enough to get started.

I am thinking of hooking a script switching the backlight on/off to some key (maybe CAPS_LOCK?) but I was lazy so-far to investigate the details. Anyone?

Also, I would like to make the ALT_R key using the sticky mode. I have changed SHIFT to this (that's why I don't need the CAPS_LOCK key as double-SHIFT does the same job now). Is there an easy hack?

Finally, does anyone knows how to get the control over CAPS_LOCK LED? At the moment, the CAPS_LOCK key triggers the LED even when the function is remapped, however, the double-SHIFT triggering CAPS_LOCK function won't trigger the LED :-(

(I am trying to optimize the keyboard for as convenient ssh-in g as possible; I must admit that PDA Planet devices spoiled me a lot!)

Wow, awesome. Thanks a lot for the backlight trick. It may be a manual toggle, but it still is a huge progress already. Apparently, the backlight goes off when the screen turns off (due to inactivity or manual lock). For now, I'll put this command line as one of qCommand's, and put a cover action to it.

Could you please post that in the corresponding issue on Github and list your ideas for a script? I can post your message if you have no account. Piggz, one of the porters, is also the developer behind Taskswitcher in Openrepos, and this app already is supposed to detect keyboard opening to lock screen rotation, do it would be ideal to merge both.

Your progress regarding modifier toggles would also be extremely helpful in the keymap and boot image issues.

[Edit: full keyboard backlight using mce is now possible, see this post]

Using qCommand from Openrepos, I could create two cover actions for "Keyboard backlight on":

Code:

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness

And "Keyboard backlight off":

Code:

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness

Now I can spam the qCommand cover action and it turns the backlight on and off. It is not even necessary to select each cover action individually because they cycle whenever one is used.

Using the above action turns keyboard backlight on and changes the default cover action to the following, which will do the opposite:

I posted it on Github.

Reading TMO through sms? What is that? And by the way: what is TMO? Asking after hanging around here for 1 1/2 years and being a bit puzzled. It took me over a year to get what HAM means. I just ignored it when it was in some post. TMO has been in my mind something connected to the admin ones / council of the round table / higher maemoans or what are they. That has been also a mystery but have not tried to figure that out either. I like thye magical worldview, when you do not understand everything, some things stay a bit frightening and holy, unexplained (TMO, council, HAM untill I got the meaning).

But now your post about reading TMO with sms was interesting enough for me to ask about it: what is TMO? And don't tell endso that I asked something like this.

About HAM it was the same to me for FAP
