3 | Quantum keycodes allow for easier customisation of your keymap than the basic ones provide, without having to define custom actions. | ||

3 | All keycodes within quantum are numbers between `0x0000` and `0xFFFF`. Within your `keymap.c` it may look like you have functions and other special cases, but ultimately the C preprocessor will translate those into a single 4 byte integer. QMK has reserved `0x0000` through `0x00FF` for standard keycodes. These are keycodes such as `KC_A`, `KC_1`, and `KC_LCTL`, which are basic keys defined in the USB HID specification. | 5 | All keycodes within quantum are numbers between `0x0000` and `0xFFFF`.

202 | |||
203 | This is used when multiple keyboard outputs can be selected. Currently this only allows for switching between USB and Bluetooth on keyboards that support both. | ||

246 | ### One Shot Keys | ||
247 | |||
248 | Most modifiers work by being held down while you push another key. You can use `OSM()` to setup a "One Shot" modifier. When you tap a one shot mod it will remain is a pressed state until you press another key. | ||
249 | |||
250 | To specify a your modifier you need to pass the `MOD` form of the key. For example, if you want to setup a One Shot Control you would use `OSM(MOD_LCTL)`. | ||
251 | |||
252 | |Name|Description| | ||
253 | |----|-----------| | ||
254 | |`OSM(mod)`|use mod for one keypress| | ||
255 | |`OSL(layer)`|switch to layer for one keypress| | ||
256 | |||
257 | ### Mod-tap keys | ||
258 | |||
259 | These keycodes will press the mod(s) when held, and the key when tapped. They only work with [basic keycodes](basic_keycodes.md). | ||
260 | |||
261 | |Name|Description| | ||
262 | |----|-----------| | ||
263 | |`CTL_T(kc)`/`LCTL_T(kc)`|`LCTL` when held, `kc` when tapped| | ||
264 | |`RCTL_T(kc)`|`RCTL` when held, `kc` when tapped| | ||
265 | |`SFT_T(kc)`/`LSFT_T(kc)`|`LSFT` when held, `kc` when tapped| | ||

274 | |`RCAG_T(kc)`|`RCTL` + `RALT` + `RGUI` when held, `kc` when tapped| | ||
275 | |`ALL_T(kc)`|`LCTL` + `LSFT` + `LALT` + `LGUI` when held, `kc` when tapped [more info](http://brettterpstra.com/2012/12/08/a-useful-caps-lock-key/)| | ||

278 | |||
279 | ## US ANSI Shifted symbols | ||
280 | |||
281 | These keycodes correspond to characters that are "shifted" on a standard US ANSI keyboards. They do not have dedicated keycodes but are instead typed by holding down shift and then sending a keycode. | ||
282 | |||
283 | It's important to remember that all of these keycodes send a left shift - this may cause unintended actions if unaccounted for. The short code is preferred in most situations. | ||
284 | |||
285 | |Short Name|Long Name|Description| | ||
286 | |----------|---------|-----------| | ||
287 | |`KC_TILD`|`KC_TILDE`|tilde `~`| | ||
288 | |`KC_EXLM`|`KC_EXCLAIM`|exclamation mark `!`| | ||
289 | |`KC_AT`||at sign `@`| | ||

291 | |`KC_DLR`|`KC_DOLLAR`|dollar sign `$`| | ||
292 | |`KC_PERC`|`KC_PERCENT`|percent sign `%`| | ||
293 | |`KC_CIRC`|`KC_CIRCUMFLEX`|circumflex `^`| | ||

295 | |`KC_ASTR`|`KC_ASTERISK`|asterisk `*`| | ||
296 | |`KC_LPRN`|`KC_LEFT_PAREN`|left parenthesis `(`| | ||
297 | |`KC_RPRN`|`KC_RIGHT_PAREN`|right parenthesis `)`| | ||
298 | |`KC_UNDS`|`KC_UNDERSCORE`|underscore `_`| | ||

308 | |||
309 | ## Layer Changes | ||
310 | |||
311 | These are keycodes that can be used to change the current layer. | ||
312 | |||
313 | |Name|Description| | ||
314 | |----|-----------| | ||
315 | |`LT(layer, kc)`|turn on layer (0-15) when held, kc ([basic keycodes](basic_keycodes.md)) when tapped| | ||
316 | |`TO(layer)`|turn on layer when depressed| | ||
317 | |`MO(layer)`|momentarily turn on layer when depressed (requires `KC_TRNS` on destination layer)| | ||
318 | |`DF(layer)`|sets the base (default) layer| | ||
319 | |`TG(layer)`|toggle layer on/off| | ||
320 | |`TT(layer)`|tap toggle? idk FIXME| | ||
321 | |`OSL(layer)`|switch to layer for one keycode| | ||
322 | |||
323 | ## Unicode | ||
324 | |||
325 | These keycodes can be used in conjuction with the [Unicode](unicode_and_additional_language_support.md) support. | ||
326 | |||
327 | |`UNICODE(n)`/`UC(n)`|if `UNICODE_ENABLE`, this will send characters up to `0x7FFF`| | ||
328 | |`X(n)`|if `UNICODEMAP_ENABLE`, also sends unicode via a different method| | ||
329 | |||
330 | # `SAFE_RANGE`, or safely defining custom keycodes | ||
331 | |||
332 | Sometimes you want to define your own custom keycodes to make your keymap easier to read. QMK provides `SAFE_RANGE` to help you do that. `SAFE_RANGE` is the first available keycode in the `0x0000`-`0xFFFF` range and you can use it when creating your own custom keycode enum: | ||
333 | |||
334 | ``` | ||
335 | enum my_keycodes { | ||
336 | FOO = SAFE_RANGE, | ||
337 | BAR | ||
338 | }; | ||
339 | ``` | ||
340 | |||
341 | You can then use `process_record_user()` to do something with your keycode: | ||
342 | |||
343 | ``` | ||
344 | bool process_record_user(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) { | ||
345 | switch (keycode) { | ||
346 | case FOO: | ||
347 | // Do something here | ||
348 | break; | ||
349 | case BAR: | ||
350 | // Do something here | ||
351 | break; | ||
352 | } | ||
353 | } | ||
354 | ``` | ||
