• Like any settings: key.*.[setting name] set the setting for all key elements
• If you want to specify a setting for all key in a given layout use: [layout name].key.*.[setting name]=...
• For a specific key, of course, it's like any other setting: key.[key name].[setting name]=...
• And for a specific key, for a specific layout [layout name].key.[key name].[setting name]=...

• layout1 is the layout name, you can specify whatever you want. The only thing to remember is that layout1 is the default layout (the first one shown)
• the keyboard read this setting, ang generate key for each letter here, so you end up with 10 keys for the first row.
• \n is a special charater that breaks the line (add a new row)
• \ is a special character: it takes the next character to generate the key, so with \N you end up with a key named \N

To specify an action, you just set the action setting, for instance, if you want a return key, you can add the setting:
key.\N.action=virtualkey(VK_RETURN)

Which basically mean: for all layout, the \N key action is to simulate a virtualkey

VK_RETURN (which is a return). Please remember, the fact that the key name is \N is purely a convention! you can choose whatever you want. If you do for instance: key. .action=virtualkey

(VK_RETURN) that will change the behavior of the " " (generally used as space) for return. With great flexibility comes potential issue: you can make a completely screwed-up layout (on the other side you can make very nice stuff not possible before).

The possible actions are:

• type() : just type the key name, so key.a.action=type() will type "a" when pressing the key, key.\N.action=type() will type "\N".
• type(SOME_TEXT) : will type SOME_TEXT so key.a.action=type(Hello World) will type "Hello World" every time the user press the a key (which is not expected, it's an exemple)
• typedtext() : will type the text contained in they "typedtext" key setting, so for instance: key.a.typedtext=:-) and key.a.action=typedtext() will print the smilies :-) when typed. (this construct allow to type parenthesis, that would be otherwise interpreted as closing command.)
• switch(LAYOUT) : will switch to keyboard layout named LAYOUT (note: you need setting for such a layout!)
• switch_once(LAYOUT) : same as switch, but come back to the previously active keyboard layout after one press
• subpanel(LAYOUT) : same as switch, but come back to the previously selected layout when the finger is released (see it as symbol pad on steroids)
• symbolpad(LAYOUT) : same as switch, but don't hide the previous layout, and position it close to the key pressed
• virtualkey(key1) : send a virtual key (virtual key are key that don't result on something typed, here is a list of available virtual key, things like VK_A is also allowed for the A key, etc... ).
• virtualkey(key1, key2) : same as virtualkey above, expect it simule: press of key1, press of key2, release of key2, release of key1. Useful for CTRL+C (copy) for instance: key.\\C.action=virtualkey(VK_CONTROL,VK_C)
• option() : goes to option
• quit() : exit the keyboard, only usefull for testing theme (it kill the app, so you can restart it), and only works in the exe version.
• repeat(DELAY) : you can add it for every action, on top of it, it just repeat the action if you stay pressed every DELAY milliseconds, for instance: key.\\B.long.action=virtualkey(VK_BACK),repeat(200) will send the virtualkey VK_BACK (which is a backspace) every 200ms when pressed.

You can also specify the "long.action" setting, which define the action triggered if you stay pressed, for instance:

key.\\B.font=9p,regular,Segoe UI,#333333,center

key.\\B.action=virtualkey(VK_BACK) keyboardlayout.functions.layout=\\O\\X\\C\\P\\N key.\\N.text=Return key.\\X.text=Cut
