SETTINGS

The <SETTINGS> section allows you to add optional metadata which is used by the simkey-app. This includes the title, as well as by default what SWITCHES are on, which MODE is selected, and how many times the program should repeat.

So, you can set these attributes under it: switches, mode, repeat, name, and shortcut.

• switches is defined in the form of a list, such as [$switch_1, $switch_2].
• name is a string containing the title of the program
• mode is simply the MODE written out with the $ at the start
• repeat is set to either ON, OFF, or a positive integer
• shortcut is characters with no spaces

As you can see most of the metadata is about default options which can be overriden in the app. Here's an example of a program that defines all of these:

<SETTINGS>
    name = "Click A!"
    mode = $UPPERCASE
    switches = [$jump, $walk]
    repeat = 5

<MODES>
    # Capital or not #
    $UPPERCASE
    $LOWERCASE

<SWITCHES>
    # Things to do first #
    $jump
    $walk

<MACRO>
    # Handle switches #
    @if $jump {
        [SPACE]
    }
    @if $walk {
        <1000>w
    }

    # Use mode to decide #
    @if $UPPERCASE {
        A
    }
    @else {
        a
    }
