Trying to get raw HID working to get vim modes to trigger qmk events and layers.
On the computer, write a program (the "host" or "server") that talks over the raw HID protocol. It is open ended how you do this, but IME both the Python pyhidapi and C hidapi were simple enough to get something started. The trickiest part might be getting the program to run with the permissions to talk the raw HID protocol (at least on Linux, there was some udev rule to set up). Read the documentation for these libraries for details about how to get set up.

Has anyone figured out a way to detect what mode you are in, in vim, using qmk?
now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the next step for building my own host. Am I supposed to put this test file in my qmk code? or run it on my computer as it's own separate program? https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/blob/master/hidtest/test.c

[Desktop] Small tool for Logic Keyboard (Windows/macOS/Linux)
Inspired by https://askubuntu.com/questions/699138/logitech-k380-bluetooth-keyboard-make-function-keys-default and https://github.com/libusb/hidapi, it's almost re-implementation of hidapi actually, with dart:ffi calling the syscall directly.
