IMPORTANT

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.
WARNING

There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.

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.

  • In the Description element of the nuspec file a potentially invalid Url has been found. Recommendation is to fix this URL More...
  • ProjectUrl and ProjectSourceUrl are typically different, but not always. Please ensure that projectSourceUrl is pointing to software source code or remove the field from the nuspec. More...
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.

  • The IconUrl element in the nuspec file should be a valid Url. The reviewer will ensure the specified Url is valid. More...

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.

  • NEW! We have a test environment for you to replicate the testing we do. This can be used at any time to test packages! See https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-test-environment
  • Please log in and leave a review comment if you have questions and/or comments.
  • If you see the verifier needs to rerun testing against the package without resubmitting (a issue in the test results), you can do that on the package page in the review section.
  • If the verifier is incompatible with the package, please log in and leave a review comment if the package needs to bypass testing (e.g. package installs specific drivers).
  • Automated testing can also fail when a package is not completely silent or has pop ups (AutoHotKey can assist - a great example is the VeraCrypt package).
  • A package that cannot be made completely unattended should have the notSilent tag. Note that this must be approved by moderators.

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.

Description

Kontroll crates.io

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.
