Add support for dual variable Layer keycodes

[drashna]

Namely LT(x, kc), and LM(x, mod). Both require 2 variables (layer and mod/keycode).

IIRC, configurator doesn't support multiple inputs, yet

Is there a timeline for supporting LT & LM? I personally use LT a lot, it'd be great to be able use these through the graphical configurator, like how they have it on qmkeyboard.cn or kbfirmware.com.

Nope, sorry. You can kind of use it now using ANY. It should work, though I haven't tested it recently.

How does ANY work? Do you just type in, for example: LT(1,KC_SPC), in the text box? When I tried that, it gave me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./qmk_compiler.py", line 178, in compile_firmware
    create_keymap(result, layers)
  File "./qmk_compiler.py", line 96, in create_keymap
    keymap_c = generate_keymap_c(result, layers)
  File "./qmk_compiler.py", line 44, in generate_keymap_c
    layer_keys = ', '.join(layer)
TypeError: sequence item 64: expected str instance, NoneType found

FWIW the ANY config worked fine for me using as an example LT(1,KC_ESCAPE).
Maybe it's been fixed since the above error was noted.

Thanks for confirming

Half of this is now available via LT 971dee0f8200e2bfde5f595a5599aff3246d1927, are people still looking for LM support?

I'm still looking for LM support.I use dvorak layout and I create a map from dvorak to qwerty in a layer. LM(mapLayer, ctrl) is so much convenient to use all keyboard shortcut.

@PhoenSXar hi there. This is a pretty tricky feature to implement in the UI because it's combinatorial. I have some ideas on how to do it, but it would require quite a lot of effort for something I'm not sure is used that frequently. I'll keep thinking about it though.

e.g. LM(4, MOD_LCTRL | MOD_LSFT)

My recommendation at this time is use the ANY keycode and just input what you need.

@yanfali Thanks, I will use the ANY keycode to make it work. As I examine this repo in greater detail, maybe I will submit a PR that time. By then, let's thinking about it :).
