Issues with base layer setting

[Iaphetes]

Hi,

First of all I really enjoy the firmware you've been building. :)

It seems I've encountered an issue with the implementation of the DF and/or TG implementations.

Expected behaviour

When using DF and or TG I would expect to switch to e.g. layer 4 to be able to still switch to lower layers using e.g. MO(1).

Actual behaviour

However it seems that all these act (at least for me) like TO, disabling all other layers until I reset the keyboard to DF(0) using this modifier.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the layer switches, but I'd need the described behaviour (just changing the base layer and still being able to access all other layers).

My setup

• Dactyl Manuform Skeleton Edition 4x5
• KB2040s
• RMK 0.5.2

If you change default layer to layer4, you could not access layer lower than layer 4, such as layer 1, 2, etc,(unless there are transparent keys) until layer 4 is disabled. But you can still access layers higher than layer 4. If you can't, that should be a bug..

As a reference, you can checkout the qmk's keymap definition: https://docs.qmk.fm/keymap#keymap-and-layers. RMK uses similar definition as https://docs.qmk.fm/feature_layers

Ah okay. Thanks for the clarification.:)

Maybe this description could then make it into the documentation, so a user doesn't have to go hunting through QMK documentation.

Yes.

I'll keep this issue open until documentation is added
