Multiple Keyboard Remappings

[MaxBrandner]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Make it possible to have a Layout selection.

Scenario when this would be used?

When you are programming or writing or gaming. you can imagine people to want different layouts for all of those but you can only make one keyborad remapping at the moment. Make it possible to add multiple and switch between them

+1.

More ever, if I have two keyboards (e.g., my laptop keyboard and an external keyboard) I want to remap only missing keys on my laptop (media controls) but not on my external keyboard.

@MaxBrandner I believe this is where layers come into effect.

On keyboards that have QMK, you can set up a layer for regular typing and one for gaming or as many as you would like.

Referring to @matipojo comment, I believe that something like per keyboard settings would address this.

For example on MacOS you can set it so that only the laptop Apple keyboard switches cmd with ctrl, but any other keyboard would ignore that setting.

In a perfect world, this would be done via #1460 but until we have a proper way to detect keys based on keyboard, /dup #1881 would be how we'd do this. You'd create some type of profile.
