Subject: [PATCH v3] HID: appletb-kbd: support layer switching on Fn double press
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:12:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722141221.13844-1-dev@deq.rocks> (raw)

From: Aditya Garg <gargaditya08@proton.me>

Holding Fn temporarily switches the Touch Bar between media controls and
function keys. Users who want to keep the alternate layer currently need
to change the mode through sysfs.

An optional double_press_switch_time module parameter makes a double press
persistently switch the default layer. Its value specifies the double-press
interval in milliseconds, while zero leaves the behavior disabled.

Changes in v3:
- Renamed the backing variable to match the module parameter.
- Fixed the reported code style issues.
