So I've been trying to use the custom configurator, as I'd love to have more colour options on the keyboard. The only way i figured this made sense, was to add 2 additional layers with each their own colour layout and buttons to switch between the 2 new layers and the default layer 0. After flashing this configuration to my keyboard, the following issues happened: When plugging in the keyboard, the default layer works as it's supposed to with all the pre installed colourmodes, but when switching to either of the new layers, which work in themselves, it's simply impossible to return to the default layer, without unplugging and reconnecting the keyboard again. For switching to the new layers, I've used the Toggle layer function (i.e TG(3) for layer 3). In each respective layer i've included a TG(0) for returning to the default layer, but i can't. In addition, after toggling either of the new layers, layer 1 (with media keys and brightness control etc.) isnt accessible, even though I've included the MO(1) in every new layer. If this even makes sense in textform, could someone explain what i've done wrong and why i cant return to default from the new layers or access layer 1?

BrotherI think you want to set up some keys to switch the default layer. Check what I did on my satan just look on _FL layer and look for the DF() key I think something like this is what you are looking for, Waiting to get my CTRL now will get back to you once I have played with it a bit. (sorry for the horrible structure of the code I smashed it out last night) https://github.com/slugger7/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/satan/keymaps/slugger7/keymap.c https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_advanced_keycodes?id=switching-and-toggling-layers

How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?

I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".
