Drashna Jaelre 542cb0a8ce [Core] Convert Dynamic Macro to a Core Feature (#5948 ) * Convert Dynamic Macro to a Core Feature This imports the code from Dynamic Macro into the core code, and handles it, as such. This deprecates the old method but does not remove it, for legacy support. This way, no existing user files need to be touched. Additionally, this reorganizes the documentation to better reflect the changes. Also, it adds user hooks to the feature so users can customize the existing functionality. Based heavily on and closes #2976 * Apply suggestions from code review Co-Authored-By: fauxpark <fauxpark@gmail.com> Co-Authored-By: noroadsleft <18669334+noroadsleft@users.noreply.github.com> * Cleanup based on feedback * Add short-form keycodes and document them - add short-form keycodes to quantum/quantum_keycodes.h - document the new aliases in docs/feature_dynamic_macros.md * Add Dynamic Macros section and keycodes to docs/keycodes.md * Make anti-nesting optional * Add documentation for DYNAMIC_MACRO_NO_NESTING option * Fix Merge artifacts * Fix formatting typo in docs Co-Authored-By: James Young <18669334+noroadsleft@users.noreply.github.com> * Remove DYNAMIC_MACRO_RANGE as it's not needed * Fix includes and layer var type		2019-11-04 22:59:13 -08:00

Quantum Mechanical Keyboard Firmware

What is QMK Firmware?

QMK (Quantum Mechanical Keyboard) is an open source community that maintains QMK Firmware, QMK Toolbox, qmk.fm, and these docs. QMK Firmware is a keyboard firmware based on the tmk_keyboard with some useful features for Atmel AVR controllers, and more specifically, the OLKB product line, the ErgoDox EZ keyboard, and the Clueboard product line. It has also been ported to ARM chips using ChibiOS. You can use it to power your own hand-wired or custom keyboard PCB.

How to Get It

If you plan on contributing a keymap, keyboard, or features to QMK, the easiest thing to do is fork the repo through Github, and clone your repo locally to make your changes, push them, then open a Pull Request from your fork.

Otherwise, you can either download it directly (zip, tar), or clone it via git (git@github.com:qmk/qmk_firmware.git), or https (https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git).

How to Compile

Before you are able to compile, you'll need to install an environment for AVR or/and ARM development. Once that is complete, you'll use the make command to build a keyboard and keymap with the following notation:

make planck/rev4:default

This would build the rev4 revision of the planck with the default keymap. Not all keyboards have revisions (also called subprojects or folders), in which case, it can be omitted:

make preonic:default

How to Customize

QMK has lots of features to explore, and a good deal of reference documentation to dig through. Most features are taken advantage of by modifying your keymap, and changing the keycodes.
