Modules

Modules, unlike extensions, change how your keyboard works. These are meant to have the ability to alter the core code in any way. Unlike extensions, these are not in a sandbox, and can make massive changes to normal operation.

Core Modules

These modules are provided in all builds and can be enabled. Currently offered modules are

  • Combos: Adds chords and sequences
  • Layers: Adds layer support (Fn key) to allow many more keys to be put on your keyboard.
  • HoldTap: Adds support for augmented modifier keys to act as one key when tapped, and modifier when held.
  • Mouse keys: Adds mouse keycodes.
  • OneShot: Adds support for oneshot/sticky keys.
  • Power: Power saving features. This is mostly useful when on battery power.
  • Split: Keyboards split in two. Seems ergonomic!
  • SerialACE: [DANGER - see module README] Arbitrary Code Execution over the data serial.
  • TapDance: Different key actions depending on how often it is pressed.
  • Dynamic Sequences: Records a sequence of keypresses and plays it back.

Require Libraries

These modules can be used without specific hardware, but require additional libraries such as the Adafruit CircuitPython Bundle.

  • MIDI: Adds sending MIDI data in the form of keymap entries.

Peripherals

These modules are for specific hardware and may require additional libraries to function. - ADNS9800: Controlling ADNS9800 optical sensor. - Encoder: Handling rotary encoders. - Pimoroni trackball: Handling a small I2C trackball made by Pimoroni. - AS5013 aka EasyPoint: Handling a small I2C magnetic position sensor made by AMS.
