A Possible Vision for Macros in Swift

As Swift evolves, it gains new language features and capabilities. There are different categories of features: some fill in gaps, taking existing syntax that is not permitted and giving it a semantics that fit well with the existing language, with features like conditional conformance or allowing existential values for protocols with Self or associated type requirements. Others introduce new capabilities or paradigms to the language, such as the addition of concurrency or comprehensive reflection.

There is another large category of language features that provide syntactic sugar to eliminate common boilerplate, taking something that can be written out in long-form and making it more concise. Such features don't technically add any expressive power to the language, because you can always write the long-form version, but their effect can be transformational if it enables use cases that would otherwise have been unwieldy. The synthesis of Codable conformances, for ex

Programming Media Keys on the Ducky One 2 Skyline

To use media keys on the Ducky One 2 Skyline, you must record a macro to bind the media function to a hotkey combination, i.e. Fn plus some key.

Example

Important: In the instructions below, "Press X+Y+Z" means press and hold key X, press and hold key Y, press and hold key Z in that order, and then release all three.

As an example, to bind Fn+PgUp to the play/pause media function:

	// Just create a project for iOS 17 and put it in ContentView.swift

	struct ContentView: View {

	@State var colors : [Color] = [.blue, .red, .green, .yellow, .brown, .mint, .indigo, .pink, .teal]

	var body: some View {
	NavigationStack{
	ScrollView(.vertical){
	VStack(items: colors){ color in

	import SwiftUI

	struct ContentView: View {
	var body: some View {
	VStack(spacing: 0) {
	Color.green
	Color.green
	Color.green
	Color.yellow
	Color.orange

	@import Darwin;
	@import ObjectiveC;
	@import CloudKit;

	extern bool GEOConfigGetBOOL(int feature, void* something);

	// Hooks feature flags in a resigned Maps.app to return true.
	// Usage:
	// clang -shared -fmodules -o libmaps_inject.dylib maps_inject.m \
	// "$(xcrun

	import Foundation

	public protocol JSONEncodable: Encodable {
	static var keyEncodingStrategy: JSONEncoder.KeyEncodingStrategy { get }
	static var dateEncodingStrategy: JSONEncoder.DateEncodingStrategy { get }
	static var dataEncodingStrategy: JSONEncoder.DataEncodingStrategy { get }
	static var nonConformingFloatEncodingStrategy: JSONEncoder.NonConformingFloatEncodingStrategy { get }

	func toJSON() throws -> Data
	}
