Append rather than overwrite layout file

[jdwapman]

I like to set up my layout file with comments about what my macro commands do. As an example of what my layout1.txt file might look like:

# Fn key remappings.
# Remap layers so you have to hold "FN" to use fn functions.
# Otherwise, defaults to media keys
[F1]>[mute]
[F2]>[vol-]
[F3]>[vol+]
[F4]>[play]
[F5]>[prev]
[F6]>[next]
fn [lwin]>[lalt]
fn [lalt]>[lwin]
fn [mute]>[F1]
fn [vol-]>[F2]
fn [vol+]>[F3]
fn [play]>[F4]
fn [prev]>[F5]
fn [next]>[F6]

# Use this to make the "Fn" key hold-only
[hk9]>[fnshf]
fn [hk9]>[fnshf]

# Take a screenshot with the "print screen" key (Mac only)
{prnt}>{-lshft}{-lctrl}{5}{+lshft}{+lctrl}

# Lock the screen with the "ScrLck" key (Mac Only)
{scrlk}>{-lctrl}{-lwin}{q}{+lctrl}{+lwin}

# Swap alt and command on Mac
[lwin]>[lalt]
[lalt]>[lwin]

However, I find that when I use the SmartSet app or by assigning a macro directly on the keyboard (useful because I often don't know the config text to set up), this completely mangles my prior organization and strips out all the comments. Could you please update your app/firmware to append new macros to the end of the file? And maybe just comment out any prior uses with a "#" to signify that they're no longer valid, but without deleting them completely?

Hi Jonathan, unfortunately the layout file is not designed to store any notes. Recommend creating a separate file on the v-drive for that.
