1## Programmable Button
2
3Programmable button is a feature that can be used to send keys that have no
4predefined meaning.
5This means they can be processed on the host side by custom software without
6colliding without the operating system trying to interpret these keys.
7
8The keycodes are emitted according to the HID usage
9"Telephony Device Page" (0x0B), "Programmable button usage" (0x07).
10On Linux (> 5.14) they are handled automatically and translated to `KEY_MACRO#`
11keycodes.
12(Up to `KEY_MACRO30`)

16To enable Programmable Button, add the following line to your keymap’s `rules.mk`:
17
18```c
19PROGRAMMABLE_BUTTON_ENABLE = yes
20```
