# Command
|
|
|
|
Command, formerly known as Magic, is a way to change your keyboard's behavior without having to flash or unplug it to use [Bootmagic](feature_bootmagic.md). There is a lot of overlap between this functionality and the [Bootmagic Keycodes](feature_bootmagic.md#keycodes). Wherever possible we encourage you to use that feature instead of Command.
|
|
|
|
On some keyboards Command is disabled by default. If this is the case, it must be explicitly enabled in your `rules.mk`:
|
|
|
|
```make
|
|
COMMAND_ENABLE = yes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
To use Command, hold down the key combination defined by the `IS_COMMAND()` macro. By default this is Left Shift+Right Shift. Then, press the key corresponding to the command you want. For example, to output the current QMK version to the QMK Toolbox console, press Left Shift+Right Shift+`V`.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
If you would like to change the key assignments for Command, `#define` these in your `config.h` at either the keyboard or keymap level. All keycode assignments here must omit the `KC_` prefix.
