  • Like others have said, you would need to use Raw HID to communicate from the host computer to the keyboard. In addition to making a Vim plugin to get the mode, you would need to write specialized code on both the computer, to send, and in your QMK keymap, to receive.

  • 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
