Added basic description of the keyboard and some build and configuration
instructions.
Also moved the RGB underlight modification instructions to the readme.
The previous default configuration and keymap was made for a Phantom
modified with RGB underlight.
This commit makes the default more in line with the "official"
configurations provided by the PCB.
The previous default have been moved to a separate keymap named
`rgbmod`. It has also been updated to better match the template keymap.
It's a little unclear what the style guidelines are for the QMK project.
But I figured that I should at least keep the indentation consistent
within the KMAC part.
Previously KEYMAP referred to the KEYMAP_ARROW layout and had 45 keys. It makes
more sense for the default keymap to be the 44 key layout, as is implied by the
name.
Additionally keymaps for all other known layouts have been added:
KEYMAP - base layout
KEYMAP_ARROW - additional key in bottom right
KEYMAP_COMMAND - additional key in bottom left
KEYMAP_ARROW_COMMAND - combination of KEYMAP_ARROW and KEYMAP_COMMAND

# Macro shortcuts: Send a whole string when pressing just one key
Instead of using the `ACTION_MACRO` function, you can simply use `M(n)` to access macro *n* - *n* will get passed into the `action_get_macro` as the `id`, and you can use a switch statement to trigger it. This gets called on the keydown and keyup, so you'll need to use an if statement testing `record->event.pressed` (see keymap_default.c).
```c
constmacro_t*action_get_macro(keyrecord_t*record,uint8_tid,uint8_topt)// this is the function signature -- just copy/paste it into your keymap file as it is.
{
switch(id){
case0:// this would trigger when you hit a key mapped as M(0)
if(record->event.pressed){
returnMACRO(I(255),T(H),T(E),T(L),T(L),W(255),T(O),END);// this sends the string 'hello' when the macro executes
}
break;
}
returnMACRO_NONE;
};
```
A macro can include the following commands:
* I() change interval of stroke in milliseconds.
* D() press key.
* U() release key.
* T() type key(press and release).
* W() wait (milliseconds).
* END end mark.
So above you can see the stroke interval changed to 255ms between each keystroke, then a bunch of keys being typed, waits a while, then the macro ends.
Note: Using macros to have your keyboard send passwords for you is possible, but a bad idea.
## Advanced macro functions
To get more control over the keys/actions your keyboard takes, the following functions are available to you in the `action_get_macro` function block:
*`record->event.pressed`
This is a boolean value that can be tested to see if the switch is being pressed or released. An example of this is
```c
if(record->event.pressed){
// on keydown
}else{
// on keyup
}
```
*`register_code(<kc>);`
This sends the `<kc>` keydown event to the computer. Some examples would be `KC_ESC`, `KC_C`, `KC_4`, and even modifiers such as `KC_LSFT` and `KC_LGUI`.
*`unregister_code(<kc>);`
Parallel to `register_code` function, this sends the `<kc>` keyup event to the computer. If you don't use this, the key will be held down until it's sent.
*`layer_on(<n>);`
This will turn on the layer `<n>` - the higher layer number will always take priority. Make sure you have `KC_TRNS` for the key you're pressing on the layer you're switching to, or you'll get stick there unless you have another plan.
*`layer_off(<n>);`
This will turn off the layer `<n>`.
*`clear_keyboard();`
This will clear all mods and keys currently pressed.
*`clear_mods();`
This will clear all mods currently pressed.
*`clear_keyboard_but_mods();`
This will clear all keys besides the mods currently pressed.
*`update_tri_layer(layer_1, layer_2, layer_3);`
If the user attempts to activate layer 1 AND layer 2 at the same time (for example, by hitting their respective layer keys), layer 3 will be activated. Layers 1 and 2 will _also_ be activated, for the purposes of fallbacks (so a given key will fall back from 3 to 2, to 1 -- and only then to 0).
### Naming your macros
If you have a bunch of macros you want to refer to from your keymap, while keeping the keymap easily readable, you can just name them like so:
```
#define AUD_OFF M(6)
#define AUD_ON M(7)
#define MUS_OFF M(8)
#define MUS_ON M(9)
#define VC_IN M(10)
#define VC_DE M(11)
#define PLOVER M(12)
#define EXT_PLV M(13)
```
As was done on the [Planck default keymap](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/planck/keymaps/default/keymap.c#L33-L40)
#### Timer functionality
It's possible to start timers and read values for time-specific events - here's an example:
```c
staticuint16_tkey_timer;
key_timer=timer_read();
if(timer_elapsed(key_timer)<100){
// do something if less than 100ms have passed
}else{
// do something if 100ms or more have passed
}
```
It's best to declare the `static uint16_t key_timer;` outside of the macro block (top of file, etc).
### Example: Single-key copy/paste (hold to copy, tap to paste)
With QMK, it's easy to make one key do two things, as long as one of those things is being a modifier. :) So if you want a key to act as Ctrl when held and send the letter R when tapped, that's easy: `CTL_T(KC_R)`. But what do you do when you want that key to send Ctrl-V (paste) when tapped, and Ctrl-C (copy) when held?
key_timer = timer_read(); // if the key is being pressed, we start the timer.
}
else { // this means the key was just released, so we can figure out how long it was pressed for (tap or "held down").
if (timer_elapsed(key_timer) > 150) { // 150 being 150ms, the threshhold we pick for counting something as a tap.
return MACRO( D(LCTL), T(C), U(LCTL), END );
}
else {
return MACRO( D(LCTL), T(V), U(LCTL), END );
}
}
break;
}
}
return MACRO_NONE;
};
```
And then, to assign this macro to a key on your keyboard layout, you just use `M(0)` on the key you want to press for copy/paste.
# Dynamic macros: record and replay macros in runtime
In addition to the static macros described above, you may enable the dynamic macros which you may record while writing. They are forgotten as soon as the keyboard is unplugged. Only two such macros may be stored at the same time, with the total length of 64 keypresses (by default).
To enable them, first add a new element to the `planck_keycodes` enum — `DYNAMIC_MACRO_RANGE`:
enum planck_keycodes {
QWERTY = SAFE_RANGE,
COLEMAK,
DVORAK,
PLOVER,
LOWER,
RAISE,
BACKLIT,
EXT_PLV,
DYNAMIC_MACRO_RANGE,
};
It must be the last element because `dynamic_macros.h` will add some more keycodes after it.
Below it include the `dynamic_macro.h` header:
#include "dynamic_macro.h"`
Add the following keys to your keymap:
- `DYN_REC_START1` — start recording the macro 1,
- `DYN_REC_START2` — start recording the macro 2,
- `DYN_MACRO_PLAY1` — replay the macro 1,
- `DYN_MACRO_PLAY2` — replay the macro 2,
- `DYN_REC_STOP` — finish the macro that is currently being recorded.
Add the following code to the very beginning of your `process_record_user()` function:
if (!process_record_dynamic_macro(keycode, record)) {
return false;
}
That should be everything necessary. To start recording the macro, press either `DYN_REC_START1` or `DYN_REC_START2`. To finish the recording, press the `DYN_REC_STOP` layer button. To replay the macro, press either `DYN_MACRO_PLAY1` or `DYN_MACRO_PLAY2`.
Note that it's possible to replay a macro as part of a macro. It's ok to replay macro 2 while recording macro 1 and vice versa but never create recursive macros i.e. macro 1 that replays macro 1. If you do so and the keyboard will get unresponsive, unplug the keyboard and plug it again.
For users of the earlier versions of dynamic macros: It is still possible to finish the macro recording using just the layer modifier used to access the dynamic macro keys, without a dedicated `DYN_REC_STOP` key. If you want this behavior back, use the following snippet instead of the one above:
if (!process_record_dynamic_macro(macro_kc, record)) {
return false;
}
If the LED-s start blinking during the recording with each keypress, it means there is no more space for the macro in the macro buffer. To fit the macro in, either make the other macro shorter (they share the same buffer) or increase the buffer size by setting the `DYNAMIC_MACRO_SIZE` preprocessor macro (default value: 128; please read the comments for it in the header).
For the details about the internals of the dynamic macros, please read the comments in the `dynamic_macro.h` header.
# Sending strings
Some people want to have a password or some text on a key. This is possible without having to do every key individually using `SEND_STRING("<text>");`. Note the caps, because `send_string("<text>");` does something else. For example:
```c
const macro_t *action_get_macro(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt) // this is the function signature -- just copy/paste it into your keymap file as it is.
{
switch(id) {
case 0: // this would trigger when you hit a key mapped as M(0)
if (record->event.pressed) {
SEND_STRING("QMK is the best thing ever!"); // This would type "QMK is the best thing ever!" (without quotation marks).
return false; // This is false because it has to return something.
}
break;
}
return MACRO_NONE;
};
```
If you'd want it to press enter as well, just replace `return false;` with `return MACRO( T(ENT), END );`.
We welcome all keyboard projects into QMK, but ask that you try to stick to a couple guidelines that help us keep things organised and consistent.
## Naming your directory/project
All names should be lowercase alphanumeric, and separated by an underscore (`_`), but not begin with one. Dashes (`-`) aren't allow by our build system, and will confuse it with keymaps/subprojects. Your directory and your `.h` and `.c` files should have exactly the same name. Subprojects/revision should follow the same format.
## `readme.md`
All projects need to have a `readme.md` file that explains what the keyboard is, who made it, where it is available, and links to move information (template coming).
## Image/Hardware files
In an effort to keep the repo size down, we're no longer accepting images of any format in the repo, with few exceptions. Hosting them elsewhere (imgur) and linking them in the readme.md is the preferred method.
Any sort of hardware file (plate, case, pcb) can't be stored in qmk_firmware, but we have the [qmk.fm repo](https://github.com/qmk/qmk.fm) where such files (as well as in-depth info) can be store, and viewed on [qmk.fm](http://qmk.fm). Downloadable files are stored in `/<keyboard>/` (name follows the same format as above) which are served at `http://qmk.fm/<keyboard>/`, and pages are generated from `/_pages/<keyboard>/` which are served at the same location (.md files are generated into .html files through Jekyll). Check out the `lets_split` directory for an example.
## Non-production/handwired projects
We're happy to accept any project that uses QMK, including prototypes and handwired ones, but we have a separate `/keyboards/handwired/` folder for them, so the main `/keyboards/` folder doesn't get overcrowded. If a prototype project becomes a production project at some point in the future, we'd be happy to move it to the main `/keyboards/` folder!
## Warnings as errors
When developing your keyboard, keep in mind that all warnings will be treated as errors - these small warnings can build-up and cause larger errors down the road (and keeping them is generally a bad practice).
## Licenses
If you're adapting your keyboard's setup from another project, but not using the same code, but sure to update the copyright header at the top of the files to show your name, it this format:
Copyright 2017 Your Name <your@email.com>
## Technical details
If you're looking for more information on making your keyboard work with QMK, [check out this guide](porting_your_keyboard_to_qmk.md)!
This will compile the targeted keyboard/keymap and leave it in your QMK directory for you to flash.
### Vagrant
If you have any problems building the firmware, you can try using a tool called Vagrant. It will set up a virtual computer with a known configuration that's ready-to-go for firmware building. OLKB does NOT host the files for this virtual computer. Details on how to set up Vagrant are in the [VAGRANT_GUIDE file](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/doc/VAGRANT_GUIDE.md).

# Dynamic macros: record and replay macros in runtime
QMK supports temporarily macros created on the fly. We call these Dynamic Macros. They are defined by the user from the keyboard and are lost when the keyboard is unplugged or otherwise rebooted.
You can store one or two macros and they may have a combined total of 128 keypresses. You can increase this size at the cost of RAM.
To enable them, first add a new element to the `planck_keycodes` enum — `DYNAMIC_MACRO_RANGE`:
```c
enumplanck_keycodes{
QWERTY=SAFE_RANGE,
COLEMAK,
DVORAK,
PLOVER,
LOWER,
RAISE,
BACKLIT,
EXT_PLV,
DYNAMIC_MACRO_RANGE,
};
```
It must be the last element because `dynamic_macros.h` will add some more keycodes after it.
Below it include the `dynamic_macro.h` header:
```c
#include"dynamic_macro.h"`
```
Add the following keys to your keymap:
*`DYN_REC_START1` — start recording the macro 1,
*`DYN_REC_START2` — start recording the macro 2,
*`DYN_MACRO_PLAY1` — replay the macro 1,
*`DYN_MACRO_PLAY2` — replay the macro 2,
*`DYN_REC_STOP` — finish the macro that is currently being recorded.
Add the following code to the very beginning of your `process_record_user()` function:
That should be everything necessary. To start recording the macro, press either `DYN_REC_START1` or `DYN_REC_START2`. To finish the recording, press the `DYN_REC_STOP` layer button. To replay the macro, press either `DYN_MACRO_PLAY1` or `DYN_MACRO_PLAY2`.
Note that it's possible to replay a macro as part of a macro. It's ok to replay macro 2 while recording macro 1 and vice versa but never create recursive macros i.e. macro 1 that replays macro 1. If you do so and the keyboard will get unresponsive, unplug the keyboard and plug it again.
For users of the earlier versions of dynamic macros: It is still possible to finish the macro recording using just the layer modifier used to access the dynamic macro keys, without a dedicated `DYN_REC_STOP` key. If you want this behavior back, use the following snippet instead of the one above:
If the LED's start blinking during the recording with each keypress, it means there is no more space for the macro in the macro buffer.
