Some Checks Have Failed or Are Not Yet Complete
Not All Tests Have Passed
This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.
- Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
- This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
- You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
- There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.
Kontroll 
Kontroll demonstrates how to control the Keymapp API, making it easy to control your ZSA keyboard from the command line and scripts. You can read more about it on our blog.
You can use it to switch layers and control the keyboard's RGB and status LEDs programmatically via Keymapp. Call it from a script to make your ZSA keyboard react to system events in useful ways (switching to layers when apps are activated, or changing lighting when you get an important email, etc).
Note: All features of Kontroll work on the Moonlander and the Voyager. Only some features work on the ErgoDox EZ, since that board has a different processor (Teensy). You're able to use Kontroll to switch layers (which is really the crucial bit) and to set the status LEDs, but you will not be able to control the RGB LEDs of the ErgoDox EZ.
Feel free to submit scripts that use Kontroll as pull requests via the examples directory.
Installation
If you have the rust toolchain and protoc installed, you can build Kontroll by cloning this repository and running the following command:
cargo build --release
Otherwise, you can download the latest release from the releases page and add it to your PATH.
Prerequisites
Make sure you have a recent version of Keymapp (v1.3.2+) running with a ZSA keyboard connected to your computer. In Keymapp's config page, make sure the API is enabled.
On Linux and macOS, keymapp creates a Unix Domain Socket located at $CONFIG_DIR/.keymapp/keymapp.sock.
On Windows, by default, the API listens on port 50051. If you have changed the port in keymapp's settings UI, you can specify the port to Kontroll by setting the KEYMAPP_PORT
environment variable.
Usage
Usage: kontroll <COMMAND>
Commands:
status Get the status of the currently connected keyboard
list List all available keyboards
connect Connect to a keyboard given the index returned by the list command
connect-any Connect to the first keyboard detected by keymapp
set-layer Set the layer of the currently connected keyboard
set-rgb Sets the RGB color of a LED
set-rgb-all Sets the RGB color of all LEDs
restore-rgb-leds Restores the RGB color of all LEDs to their default
set-status-led Set / Unset a status LED
restore-status-leds Restores the status of all status LEDs to their default
increase-brightness Increase the brightness of the keyboard's LEDs
decrease-brightness Decrease the brightness of the keyboard's LEDs
disconnect Disconnect from the currently connected keyboard
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Options:
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
Examples
Under examples is a showcase on how you could use the API.
Run the examples by having the rust toolchain installed and run the following command:
cargo run --release --example snake
Development
We developed Kontroll to showcase the Keymapp API and to provide a simple way to control your ZSA keyboard from the command line and scripts.
If you wish to build your own client, you need to implement the Keymapp API using gRPC. The protobuf file available here describes all the remote call procedures and messages available.
An example on how to implement each procedure call can be found in the api.rs file.
If you are using the Rust programming language, you may use the Kontroll crate.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

kontroll has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.
Guidelines
Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.
Notes
Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.

kontroll has failed automated package testing (verification).
Please visit https://gist.github.com/choco-bot/db5ca1451d2f9073bb10317a009d84d9 for details.
The package status will be changed and will be waiting on your next actions.

This appears to have failed on a dependency. Rerunning to see if this is a temporary failure.
Verification Status Change - Verification tests have been set to rerun.

kontroll has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/choco-bot/c831c59ba16c6d0ba29d8d29178cae61 for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.

kontroll has been flagged as part of automated virus scanning.
Package virus scanning found that at least 1 file within, or downloaded by, the package has between 1 and 5 VirusTotal detections associated with it.
This is not enough detections to prevent the approval of this package version.
