DAS-CLI

Simple Command Line Interface (CLI) tool to set colors on the Das Keyboard.

This is really just a frontend for the excellent work on the @diefarbe/lib module which handles the low-level communication with the device. Something that Das have yet to live up to.

Usage: das [options] [key=color...]

Options:
  -V, --version           output the version number
  -a, --all <color>       Set all keys to a static color
  -n, --dry-run           Dont actually command the keyboard, just simulate (implies `-v`)
  -v, --verbose           Be verbose
  --lang <language code>  Set the language code to use (default is "en-US") (default: "en-US")
  --no-color              Disable colors
  --help                  This help screen
  --help-groups           Print all known key groups
  --help-colors           Print all known color aliases
  --help-langs            Print all known language codes
  --help-keys             Print all known keycodes
  -h, --help              output usage information

Keys can be specified individually or as named groups - use --help-groups to see a list of the supported group names.

Examples

# Set all keys to Blue
das all=blue

# Set all numpad keys to green
das numpad=green

# Set all keys to black then all alpha keys to aliceblue and number keys to yellow
das all=black alpha=aliceblue numbers=yellow
