just want to make sure I put this here, I'm going to make this a much better document later
Printing upside down
still in beta, but using upside_down() in a method chain will rotate keycaps to be upside down. This makes the stem print better and requires no support, but generally the top of the keycap comes out worse - unless it is flat.
front print legends and location / font size
still in beta, set $front_print_legends = true to have legends print on the front instead of the top of the keycaps.
Clearance check
doing some funky stuff and want to make sure your keycap won't hit the keyswitch? set $clearance_check = true and a red-colored depressed switch will show up in preview, cutting away at what contacts the switch.
Envelope
the 'envelope' of a keycap is used to clip geometry - most notably the dishing at the top of the keycap. if something doesn't look right, you can drop %envelope() right next to key() to see if it's the envelope cutting things off:
g20_row() legend("Q", [0,0], 3) {
key();
%envelope();
}
