Hit it twice, rapidly -- send a co `DF(layer)` - sets default layer to *layer*. The default layer is the one at the "bottom" of the layer stack - the ultimate fallback layer. This currently does not persist over power loss. When you plug the keyboard back in, layer 0 will always be the default. It is theoretically possible to work around that, but that's not what `DF` does. -## Prevent stuck modifiers - -Consider the following scenario: - -1. Layer 0 has a key defined as Shift. -2.

This gets called on the keydown and keyup, so you'll need to use an if statement testing `record->event.pressed` (see keymap_default.c). |
