Temporary layer keys

[jasonmhite]

Would it be possible to add something that behaves like GOTO_PROFILE but it returns to the original layer after the next (subsequent) key press? This would let us emulate having something like QMK layers so that we could quickly switch between different groups of shortcuts for complicated apps that have a lot of shortcuts.

I'm thinking something like my IDE with a ton of complicated hotkeys. I would have a primary profile with the most common shortcuts, and on that maybe the bottom row of keys are mapped to swap to different profiles with more specialized commands. I could press a swap key and it would shift to the specialized profile, then I press the command I want and it would return to the original layer. This would be a very powerful addition, I think.

I know you're busy and thank you for all the work thus far!

You may achieve similar feature with the current beta firmware, note however that in fact you will not be switching to a profile but instead emulating it inside duckyscript. Upon execution DP will show a legend for upper row, then it will start listening on a subsequent keypress. As soon as a user input is detected it executes the action.

WHILE $k == 0
    $k = $_READKEY

END_WHILE

IF $k == 1 THEN
  STRINGLN foo
ELSE IF $k == 2 THEN
  STRINGLN bar
ELSE IF $k == 3 THEN
  STRINGLN baz
