What is SpaceFN and why you should give it a try
The SpaceFN concept - setting up your space key as a layer switch when held - is probably one of the most useful tweaks in the keyboard hobby. Let me explain how it works. My SpaceFN article on kbd.news made some rounds recently - quite surprisingly given the age of this concept. This piece you're reading is a condensed version of the full post. If you're left with unanswered questions, you'll most likely find the info you're looking for in the original write-up. On my imaginary top list of the most useful keyboard features, tweaks and hacks, SpaceFN would deserve a podium finish for sure. But what makes it so special? In short: SpaceFN is easy to implement, easy to learn, costs nothing, can be used with any keyboard, and can improve your productivity instantly. I will list its benefits below, but can state right at this point that the SpaceFN concept, setting up your space key as a layer switch when held, is clearly one of the most useful tweaks in the keyboard hobby....

So, i see other people using this tool and so i'm confused?? Are there instructions somewhere I'm not seeing at? Am I doing something wrong or missing a step somewhere? I hope this makes sense and is enough explanation! Basically no matter what I do in the tool (and I've tried just about everyhting I can think of), I see no way of actually flashing the RAW JSON changes I've made onto the keybaord. It doesn't appear to actually be producing/making/creating/changing any bin file using the changes I make in the tool? Thanks@!!! Other than that and some squeaky keys, I'm liking the keyboard! Cant wait to be able to get the programming down on it!!
So, when I make my changes in the client, I can see the appropriate changes in the RAW Layout JSON.
So i click Flash, my command is dfu-util, bin file to flash is the above bin file.
Flashing does nothing though, the changes I make in the client seems like they're not stored anywhere I can find. I don't understand how this tool is working for others. Maybe other versions are working idk, or maybe i'm missing something
