The default layer is the one at the "bottom" of the layer stack - the ultimate fallback layer. This currently does not persist over power loss. When you plug the keyboard back in, layer 0 will always be the default. It is theoretically possible to work around that, but that's not what `DF` does. +### Prevent stuck modifiers + +Consider the following scenario: + +1. Layer 0 has a key defined as Shift. +2. The same key is defined on layer 1 as the letter A. +3. User presses Shift. +4. User switches to layer 1 for whatever reason. +5. User releases Shift, or rather the letter A. +6. User switches back to layer 0. + +Shift was actually never released and is still considered pressed. + +If such situation bothers you add this to your `config.h`: + + #define PREVENT_STUCK_MODIFIERS + +Warning: This option uses up 2 bytes of memory per key.
