Multiple Configs

You can configure up to 9 independent layers.

This is useful to have specific configs for

• different applications
• different games
• alternative keyboard layouts
• layers for testing new configs

I'm on layer_1 99% of the time.

You can switch layers with the the standard commands ESC + 1..9. (Also layer 0, which disables all key processing).

You can also configure your own shortcuts to switch layers. See Function: layerSwitch()

All GLOBAL settings are used for all layers.
OPTIONs are only used on the layer that defines them.

In your capsicain.ini, the section names [layer_1] to [layer_9] define your layers.

Capsicain starts on layer 1, unless you define e.g. GLOBAL activeLayerOnStartup 3 for layer 3.

If you have a set of rules that you want to use in many layers, see Keyword: INCLUDE
