* @file layer_lock.h
* @brief Layer Lock, a key to stay in the current layer.
*
* Overview
* --------
*
* Layers are often accessed by holding a button, e.g. with a momentary layer
* switch `MO(layer)` or layer tap `LT(layer, key)` key. But you may sometimes
* want to "lock" or "toggle" the layer so that it stays on without having to
* hold down a button. One way to do that is with a tap-toggle `TT` layer key,
* but here is an alternative.
*
* This library implements a "Layer Lock key". When tapped, it "locks" the
* highest layer to stay active, assuming the layer was activated by one of the
* following keys:
*
* * `MO(layer)` momentary layer switch
* * `LT(layer, key)` layer tap
* * `OSL(layer)` one-shot layer
* * `TT(layer)` layer tap toggle
* * `LM(layer, mod)` layer-mod key (the layer is locked, but not the mods)
*
* Tapping the Layer Lock key again unlocks and turns off the layer.
*
* @note When a layer is "locked", other layer keys such as `TO(layer)` or
* manually calling `layer_off(layer)` will override and unlock the layer.
*
* Configuration
* -------------
*
* Optionally, a timeout may be defined so that Layer Lock disables
* automatically if not keys are pressed for `LAYER_LOCK_IDLE_TIMEOUT`
* milliseconds. Define `LAYER_LOCK_IDLE_TIMEOUT` in your config.h, for instance
*
* #define LAYER_LOCK_IDLE_TIMEOUT 60000 // Turn off after 60 seconds.
*
* and call `layer_lock_task()` from your `matrix_scan_user()` in keymap.c:
*
* void matrix_scan_user(void) {
* layer_lock_task();
* // Other tasks...
* }
*
* For full documentation, see
* <https://getreuer.info/posts/keyboards/layer-lock>
