 * `NO_USB_STARTUP_CHECK`
   * Disables usb suspend check after keyboard startup. Usually the keyboard waits for the host to wake it up before any tasks are performed. This is useful for split keyboards as one half will not get a wakeup call but must send commands to the master.
 * `LINK_TIME_OPTIMIZATION_ENABLE`
-  = Enables Link Time Optimization (`LTO`) when compiling the keyboard.  This makes the process take longer, but can significantly reduce the compiled size (and since the firmware is small, the added time is not noticable).  However, this will automatically disable the old Macros and Functions features automatically, as these break when `LTO` is enabled.  It does this by automatically defining `NO_ACTION_MACRO` and `NO_ACTION_FUNCTION`

 To initialize your display, call `lcd_init()` with one of these parameters:
 ````
 LCD_DISP_OFF             : display off
 LCD_DISP_ON              : display on, cursor off
 LCD_DISP_ON_CURSOR       : display on, cursor on
-LCD_DISP_ON_CURSOR_BLINK : display on, cursor on flashing 
+LCD_DISP_ON_CURSOR_BLINK : display on, cursor on flashing
 ````
 This is best done in your keyboards `matrix_init_kb` or your keymaps `matrix_init_user`.  
 It is advised to clear the display before use.

 The terminal feature is a command-line-like interface designed to communicate through a text editor with keystrokes. It's beneficial to turn off auto-indent features in your editor.

 This allows you to hold a key and the salt key (space by default) and have access to a various EEPROM settings that persist over power loss. It's advised you keep this disabled, as the settings are often changed by accident, and produce confusing results that makes it difficult to debug.
