$ keyboardsounds start -p typewriter
```

**Action: `status`**

```powershell
$ keyboardsounds stop
```

### Manage Profiles

**Action: `add-profile`**

```powershell
$ keyboardsounds add-profile -z ./my-profile.zip
```

**Action: `remove-profile`**

Removes a profile from the application.

```powershell
$ keyboardsounds remove-profile -n myprofile
```

**Action: `list-profiles`**

Lists the currently loaded profiles.

```powershell
$ keyboardsounds list-profiles
```

## Custom Profiles

This application supports custom profiles in which you can provide your own WAV files to be used for the different keys pressed.

### Creating a Profile

1. Create a new directory containing the sounds you wish to use.
2. Add a new file to the directory called `profile.yaml`.
3. Follow the example format below to fill the file in.
4. Combine the files into a ZIP file. The files must be at the root of the zip file.

You can then load this profile into the application using the `add-profile` action.

> Note: Alternately you can use the `build-profile` action for an environment with built in validation when creating a new profile.

### Example Profile

```yaml
# General information about your profile, this includes
# name, author and description.
#
# You are only required to provide the "name" field.
profile:
  name: my-profile
  author: Nathan Fiscaletti
  description: Describe the sounds packaged in this profile

# A list of all audio sources used by this profile each
# containing an identifier and a source.
#
# The source can either be the name of an audio file
# packaged with this profile OR a dictionary with two
# keys, one 'press' and one 'release', who's
# corresponding values are names of audio files
# packaged with this profile.
sources:
  - id: key1
    source: sound1.wav
  - id: key2
    source:
      press: sound2.wav
      release: sound3.wav

# An optional mappings of audio sources to
# particular keys on the keyboard.
#
# If you chose to omit the keys section, each time
# a key is pressed on the keyboard a random sound
# from the list of audio sources will be used.
keys:
  # The default value to use for any key not
  # mapped elsewhere in the keys object.
  #
  # If you provide the keys object, you MUST
  # provide a value for the default property.
  #
  # The value for this property can either be
  # the ID of one of the sources you defined
  # above, or an array of IDs.
  default: [ key1, key2 ]

  # A list of mappings of sources to keyboard keys.
  other:
      # The sound to play when one of the keys listed
      # in the keys array is pressed.
      #
      # The value for this property can either be
      # the ID of one of the sources you defined
      # above, or an array of IDs.
    - sound: key1
      # An array of keys that you can press that this
      # sound will be mapped to.
      keys: [ backspace, delete ]
