Click = quick (<0.2s) press (on/off)
Press = brief (0.2-1s) press (change to next mode)
Long press = 1-2s press, light will fast blink (set brightness for this mode, when off switch sets)
Extended = 2+ seconds, light will slow blink (start with this mode)

Click turn on/off, starts with last saved setting. When on, Extended press saves
current mode as startup mode. Long press adjusts brightness
(hold horizontally, twist, click to set).

There are two mode sets - constant (e.g. different
brightness levels), and dynamic (e.g. different flashing patterns). To get into
the opposite set (constant vs. dynamic), Long press from off.

Constant on set (high uses high current mode):
Press to cycle through low, moon, medium, and high modes.

Dynamic set (these always use high current mode):
Press to cycle through dazzle, blink (2 Hz), beacon
(0,1 Hz, blinks red tailcap LED 1 Hz), and variable* modes.

*Variable mode gets bright when the flashlight is held horizontally, dim when vertical.

Would you be able to modify my Hexbright4.1 code to enable your variable brightness implementation? Ideally, while the tailswitch was being held down, tilting the Flex up would increase the brightness, and down would decrease it.
