+### Detecting split / Gaming mode
+
+To make it extra gaming friendly, you can configure what happens when you disconnect the right half. This is especially useful when using gaming unfriendly layers or layouts (e.g. home row mods, dvorak, colemak).
+
+Example for enabling a specific layer while right side is disconnected:

+        // set layer
+    }
+}
+```
