Compiling a blank keymap is not useful #65

Open mechmerlin opened 6 years ago

mechmerlin commented 6 years ago

There does not seem to be any use to compiling a blank keymap, as the resulting .hex still wouldn't get me anywhere in terms of keyboard usability.

We could use the dirty keymap checks to temporarily gray out the compile button until the keymap does indeed have at least one keycode.

We could also warn the user that the keymap is blank and let them proceed anyway. I can see one use for this mode. If you wanted to make a MCU that controlled an RGB strip on and had no inputs. I actually have a bad pro micro, broken USB, that I was thinking about using this for.
