Request: Multiple configurations

[RomanoZumbe]

I have a couple of boards I use and it would be nice if I could set up multiple named configurations that I can then give to the format command

you can do this with autocommands 😄 , qmk.setup() can be called repeatedly with different configs (I'll add it to the README though, as it's not stated anywhere).

There's lots in :help autocmd, and apologies if you already know, but here's a quick example of how it could look:

local group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup('MyQMK', {})

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('BufEnter', { -- this gets called each time you enter a buffer
    desc = 'Format simple keymap',
    group = group,
    pattern = '*simple.c', -- this is a pattern to match the filepath of whatever board you wish to target
    callback = function()
        require('qmk').setup({  -- this calls setup with whatever config you want
            name = 'LAYOUT_preonic_grid',
            auto_format_pattern = "simple.c",
            layout = {
                '_ x x x x x x _ x x x x x x',
            },
         })
    end,
})

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('BufEnter', {
    desc = 'Format overlap keymap',
    group = group,
    pattern = '*overlap.c',
    callback = function()
        require('qmk').setup({
            name = 'LAYOUT_preonic_grid',
            auto_format_pattern = "overlap.c",
            layout = {
                'x x x x x',
            },
        })
    end,
})

going to close, but please reopen if this doesn't work as you'd expect 😇 thanks

The documented workaround works but I wonder if things could not be simpler. It would be great for qmk.nvim to use a default layout for different names, something like this.

require("qmk").setup({
  {
    name = "LAYOUT_split_3x5_3",
    layout = {
      "x x x x x _ _ _ x x x x x",
      "x x x x x _ _ _ x x x x x",
      "x x x x x _ _ _ x x x x x",
      "_ _ _ x x x _ x x x _ _ _",
    },
    {
      name = "LAYOUT_split_3x6_3",
      layout = {
        "x x x x x x _ _ _ x x x x x x",
        "x x x x x x _ _ _ x x x x x x",
        "x x x x x x _ _ _ x x x x x x",
        "_ _ _ _ x x x _ x x x _ _ _ _",
      },
    },
  },
})

Maybe this won't work all the time and this is not a good idea though 😅

thanks 🙂 I appreciate the suggestion but I'm afraid I won't be adding additional setup code that can be solved with existing functionality in neovim; it just helps keep the surface area down both in the code for me to think about and in the docs for folks reading how to set up the plugin 😇

Makes sense, thanks for answering.
