In other words, to acquire the settings of all pedals, run: `footswitch-rs read --all`. To acquire only information of specific pedals (e.g., 1 and 2), run: `footswitch-rs read -p 1 2`.
## Writing to the foot pedal
### The `list` subcommand
The subcommand `footswitch-rs list` returns a table with all possible key names and the translated value that will be written to the foot pedal. The provided key names can be used together with `footswitch-rs set key` or `footswitch-rs append key`. The help function `footswitch-rs list --help` yields te following information (omitted redundant information):
```bash
USAGE:
footswitch-rs list --columns <columns>
OPTIONS:
-c, --columns <columns> Specify the number of columns of the table
```
The columns option is mandatory and sets the number of columns the table will use. That way, a user can make sure that the table fits his or her terminal.
### The `set` subcommand
```bash
USAGE:
footswitch-rs set <SUBCOMMAND>
SUBCOMMANDS:
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
key Set a key value to one or more pedals
mousebutton Set a mousebutton (left/right/middle/double) to one or more pedals
mousemovement Set X, Y, and W movement of the mouse pointer for one or more pedals
```
### The `append` subcommand
```bash
USAGE:
footswitch-rs append <SUBCOMMAND>
SUBCOMMANDS:
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
key Append a key value to one or more pedals
modifier Append a modifier (ctrl/shift/alt/win) to one or more pedals
string Append a string to one or more pedals
```
## Clearing pedals
In contrast to the original implementation on [rgerganov/footswitch](https://github.com/rgerganov/footswitch), this implementation does not clear foot pedals if they are not explicitly set during a write operation. To clear the configuration of a pedal, a separate function has to be explicitly invoked. The help function `footswitch-rs clear --help` yields te following information (omitted redundant information):

## Common problems
#### Invalid combination of options!
This error can only occur with the `append` subcommand.
