thanks for info. i didnt want to paste the whole file and not sure how to add my files to github so i can give a link. i really want to let you see my keymap and other keyboard files i changed. i have only touched the files inside the keyboard folder. nothing higher than that folder was changed only referenced to find any errors inside my keyboard files. i just have to see if i can clean up the matrix without breaking it. i already cleaned up the rgb id’s so it starts at 0 in top left corner and goes in reading order in reading down the keyboard. so i think i can use rgb matrix with a bool setup that i input the start and end led to create segments so dont have to specify each rgb individually unless its just for a key not in a range specified. it will take me a minute to code those options but after trial and error and reading everything on qmk i can as reference i think i am good to go as long as i can find the commands and keycodes in the quantum and other folders that is where the commands were created to see how to use them correctly. which helps way more than some of the documentation on the websites that is kinda light on details.

While creating a proper fork of the Framework repo is the best way to store and share code, there is also the option of a gist. You can put multiple files in a single gist.

The RP2040 has so much memory that it isn’t any problem just specifying the keys you want individually. Of course, the color you wish to set can be a variable, so you don’t have to repeat that, and so you can change colors easily. But I get that it looks neater if you can condense specifying the keys.

There are two 21’s and no 10 here. I think the row 6 key 2 is LED 10 for K110, correct?

Yep, looks like it’s LED index 10 for that key. Thanks for the correction! I updated the map. Maybe I looked at K101 instead of K110.
