They are forgotten as soon as the keyboard is unplugged. Only two such macros may be stored at the same time, with the total length of 128 keypresses. + +To enable them, first add a new element to the `planck_keycodes` enum -- `DYNAMIC_MACRO_RANGE`: + + enum planck_keycodes { + QWERTY = SAFE_RANGE, + COLEMAK, + DVORAK, + PLOVER, + LOWER, + RAISE, + BACKLIT, + EXT_PLV, + DYNAMIC_MACRO_RANGE, + }; + +Afterwards create a new layer called `_DYN`: + + #define _DYN 6 /* almost any other free number should be ok */ + +Below these two modifications include the `dynamic_macro.h` header: + + #include "dynamic_macro.h"` + +Then define the `_DYN` layer with the following keys: `DYN_REC_START1`, `DYN_REC_PLAY1`,`DYN_REC_START2` and `DYN_REC_PLAY2`. It may also contain other keys, it doesn't matter apart from the fact that you won't be able to record these keys in the dynamic macros. + + [_DYN]= { + {_______, DYN_REC_START1, DYN_MACRO_PLAY1, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______}, + {_______, DYN_REC_START2, DYN_MACRO_PLAY2, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______}, + {_______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______}, + {_______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______} + }, + +Add the following code to the very beginning of your `process_record_user()` function: + + if (!process_record_dynamic_macro(keycode, record)) { + return false; + } + +The usage should be pretty self-explanatory.
