93In addition to the `process_record_user()` function, is the `post_process_record_user()` function. This runs after `process_record` and can be used to do things after a keystroke has been sent. This is useful if you want to have a key pressed before and released after a normal key, for instance.
94
95In this example, we modify most normal keypresses so that `F22` is pressed before the keystroke is normally sent, and release it __only after__ it's been released.

97```c
98static uint8_t f22_tracker;
99
100bool process_record_user(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) {
101 switch (keycode) {
102 case KC_A ... KC_F21: //notice how it skips over F22
103 case KC_F23 ... KC_EXSEL: //exsel is the last one before the modifier keys
104 if (record->event.pressed) {
105 register_code(KC_F22); //this means to send F22 down
106 f22_tracker++;
107 register_code(keycode);
108 return false;
109 }
110 break;
111 }
112 return true;
113}

119 if (!record->event.pressed) {
120 f22_tracker--;
121 if (!f22_tracker) {
122 unregister_code(KC_F22); //this means to send F22 up
123 }
