Reset Behaviors

Summary​

There are two available behaviors that can be used to trigger a reset of the keyboard. The first is a soft reset, that will simply reset and re-run the currently flashed firmware; the second when triggered will reset into the bootloader, allowing you to flash a new firmware to the keyboard.

The basic reset behavior will reset the keyboard and re-run the firmware flashed to the device

Split Keyboards​

Both basic and bootloader reset behaviors are source-specific: This means that it affects the side of the keyboard that contains the behavior binding for split keyboards. For example if you press a key with the &reset binding on the left half of the keyboard, the left half will be reset. If you want to be able to reset both sides you can put the bindings on both sides of the keyboard and activate it on the side you would like to reset.

Peripheral invocation

The peripheral side of the keyboard has to be paired and connected to the central side in order to be able to activate these behaviors, even if it is possible to trigger the behavior using only keys on that side. This is because the key bindings are processed on the central side which would then instruct the peripheral side to reset.
