A way to write Kustom presets in XML.

1. Get kml2kclip.exe from the releases tab of this repository.

2. Get kml-schema.xsd from here and attach it to your XML editor of choice. Instructions for Visual Studio and VSCode below.

3. In your xml editor of choice, write a preset and save it in a file. I'd recommend using .xml as the extension, just so you don't have to manually bind .kml to an xml editor.

4. Run kml2kclip.exe from the console, passing the XML file as stdin or with the -in argument.

• stdio: kml2kclip <kmlfile.xml >kclip.txt

• args: kml2kclip -in kmlfile.xml -out kclip.txt

  The program will compile your XML into a kustom clipboard JSON and put it in the file specified (or into the console, if no file was specified!) I would recommend against using .json as your output file extension, since it will include ##KUSTOMCLIP## at the beginning and end, which will make it light up red in a JSON editor.

5. Put the compiled kustom clipboard JSON into your mobile device's clipboard. You can do this with Pushbullet, through a Google Keep note, whatever you want.

6. Go into a Kustom app of your choice and hit paste.

VSCode

1. Get the VSCode XML by Red Hat extension (you can easily find it by typing "xml" into the extension search box).

2. After you created your xml document, at the top of it, below <?xml version="1.0"?> put

<?xml-model href="D:\path\to\schema\kml-schema.xsd"?>

Of course putting the correct schema path in the href attribute.

Visual Studio

1. Open the XML file you wish to edit.

2. In the properties window, select Schemas and click the ... button.

3. Click Add on the right side, then select the .xsd file from your file system. If you added the file before, it should appear on the list, in that case, select its Use cell and select Use this schema from the dropdown.

1. Open the folder containing your KML file in VSCode.

2. Hit Ctrl + Shift + P to open the Command Palette.

3. Find Tasks: Configure Default Build Task, hit enter, then enter again. From the list that pops up, select Other. VSCode will create tasks.json for you.

4. Edit the only task in the file:

• the label can be whatever you want it to be
• the type must be shell
• the command should be .\\kml2kclip -in kml-preset.xml -out kclip.txt , or something similar.
  • this assumes kml2kclip.exe is in the same folder as your KML file. if that's not the case, you'll need to include a path to it, or add it's containing folder to PATH.
  • .\\ is there because of powershell
  • I had to make -in and -out work because of powershell too
  • why doesn't powershell support < and > for stdio???

5. After that, hit open the Command Palette again and execute Tasks: Configure Default Build Task again. Your task should pop up, press enter and you're good to go. From now on, Ctrl + Shift + B should compile the kml file.
