+# Custom Userspace Function handlers
+
+Specifically QMK works by using customized handlers for everything. This allows for multiple levels of customization. 
+
+`matrix_scan` calls `matrix_scan_quantum`, which calls `matrix_scan_kb`, which calls `matrix_scan_user`. 
+`process_record` calls a bunch of stuff, but eventually calls `process_record_kb` which calls `process_record_user`
+The same goes for `matrix_init`, `layer_state_set`, `led_set`, and a few other functions.  
+
+All (most) `_user` functions are handled here, in the userspace instead.  To allow keyboard specific configuration, I've created `_keymap` functions that can be called by the keymap.c files instead.
+
+This allows for keyboard specific configuration while maintaining the ability to customize the board.
+
+My [Ergodox EZ Keymap](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/layouts/community/ergodox/drashna/keymap.c) is a good example of this, as it uses the LEDs as modifier indicators.
+
+But for a list: 
+
+```c
+__attribute__ ((weak))
+void matrix_init_keymap(void) {}
+
+void matrix_init_user(void) {
+  matrix_init_keymap();

+void keyboard_post_init_user(void){
+    keyboard_post_init_keymap();

+
+__attribute__ ((weak))
+void matrix_scan_keymap(void) {}

+  matrix_scan_keymap();

+__attribute__ ((weak))
