About:
VIA is a modern, cross-platform keyboard configurator designed for QMK and VIA-enabled keyboards. It provides a real-time, graphical interface for remapping keys, programming macros, and adjusting RGB lighting without compiling firmware. The tool syncs directly with the keyboard, offering instant configuration changes and saving layouts to the device's onboard memory.

Key Features:

Real-time key remapping and layer management
Visual macro editor with advanced scripting support
On-the-fly RGB lighting control and effects
Cross-platform compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux)
Direct device synchronization without firmware flashing

Use Cases:

Customizing keyboard layouts for productivity or gaming
Programming complex macros for development workflows
Managing RGB lighting profiles for aesthetic customization

Alternatives:

QMK Configurator – Web-based tool that requires compiling and flashing firmware for each change, whereas VIA offers real-time updates.
Keyboard-specific software – Proprietary manufacturer tools often lack cross-platform support and advanced macro capabilities.
