Macros

Summary

I wanted to use Macros to to tie a Layer Fn Key press to directly setting SLOWLY_OFF_MODE Lighting JSON Mode 7 Documentation Mode 8 on my keyboard. I figured this would be possible since I already set layer 1 Fn + F5 to RGB_MODE_PLAIN -> LIGHT_MODE. Then A Single Fn + \ Moves to Next RGB Lighting Mode which is SLOWLY_OFF_MODE. Unforunately Macros only work On Standard Layer 0 Keys. We cannot Record Macros for Fn Key presses or special lighting Commands RGB_MODE_B or RGB_MOD which moves to next lighting Mode.

Conclusion

QMK firmware apparently is the only way to do what I want. So MACROS are only good for plain chars. I think we can record up to 512 plain chars in a macro.
