okay bestie, welcome to Config...:MtxOrb(3pm) — yes that's the manual page name, it's a whole vibe, we're rolling with it. This is the Perl doc for the Config::Model::models::LCDd::MtxOrb config class, and I'm gonna walk you through every single element like we're gossiping about it. no cap. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

These are the Configuration classes used by Config::Model, and they were generated from LCDd.conf. so like, they didn't hand-write this, the machine did, and honestly? it ate. ✨

bestie note: that last line says keypad_set_mode — that's what the page says, so that's what I'm telling you. not my typo to fix, I don't make the rules. 💀
