## How to get keycode
 | 
						|
See [Keycodes](Keycodes). Keycodes are actually defined in [common/keycode.h](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/tmk_core/common/keycode.h).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Sysrq key
 | 
						|
Use keycode for Print Screen(`KC_PSCREEN` or `KC_PSCR`) instead of `KC_SYSREQ`. Key combination of 'Alt + Print Screen' is recognized as 'System request'.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See [issue #168](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/168) and
 | 
						|
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
 | 
						|
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_request
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Power key doesn't work
 | 
						|
Use `KC_PWR` instead of `KC_POWER` or vice versa.
 | 
						|
- `KC_PWR` works with Windows and Linux, not with OSX.

## Oneshot modifier
 | 
						|
Solves my personal 'the' problem. I often got 'the' or 'THe' wrongly instead of 'The'.  Oneshot Shift mitgates this for me.
 | 
						|
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/67
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Modifier/Layer stuck
 | 
						|
Modifier keys or layers can be stuck unless layer switching is configured properly.
 | 
						|
For Modifier keys and layer actions you have to place `KC_TRANS` on same position of destination layer to  unregister the modifier key or return to previous layer on release event.

## Mechanical Lock Switch Support
 | 
						|
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard#mechanical-locking-support
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This feature is for *mechanical lock switch* like this Alps one.
 | 
						|
http://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCL_Lock
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Using enabling this feature and using keycodes `LCAP`, `LNUM` or `LSCR` in keymap you can use physical locking CapsLock, NumLock or ScrollLock keys as you expected.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Old vintage mechanical keyboards occasionally have lock switches but modern ones don't have. ***You don't need this feature in most case and just use keycodes `CAPS`, `NLCK` and `SLCK`.***
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Input special charactors other than ASCII like Cédille 'Ç'
 | 
						|
NO UNIVERSAL METHOD TO INPUT THOSE WORKS OVER ALL SYSTEMS. You have to define **MACRO** in way specific to your OS or layout.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See this post for example **MACRO** code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/tmk-keyboard-firmware-collection-t4478-120.html#p195620
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On **Windows** you can use `AltGr` key or **Alt code**.
 | 
						|
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key
 | 
						|
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On **Mac** OS defines `Option` key combinations.
 | 
						|
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_key#Alternative_keyboard_input
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On **Xorg** you can use `compose` key, instead.
 | 
						|
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
And see this for **Unicode** input.
 | 
						|

						|
 | 
						|
## Apple/Mac keyboard Fn
 | 
						|
Not supported.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Apple/Mac keyboard sends keycode for Fn unlike most of other keyboards.
 | 
						|
I think you can send Apple Fn key using Apple venter specific Page 0xff01 and usage 0x0003. But you have to change HID Report Descriptor for this, of course.

## Media control keys in Mac OSX
 | 
						|
#### KC_MNXT and KC_MPRV does not work on Mac
 | 
						|
Use `KC_MFFD`(`KC_MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD`) and `KC_MRWD`(`KC_MEDIA_REWIND`) instead of `KC_MNXT` and `KC_MPRV`.
 | 
						|
See https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/195
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Keys supported in Mac OSX?
 | 
						|
You can know which keycodes are supported in OSX from this source code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`usb_2_adb_keymap` array maps Keyboard/Keypad Page usages to ADB scancodes(OSX internal keycodes).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
https://opensource.apple.com/source/IOHIDFamily/IOHIDFamily-606.1.7/IOHIDFamily/Cosmo_USB2ADB.c
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
And `IOHIDConsumer::dispatchConsumerEvent` handles Consumer page usages.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
https://opensource.apple.com/source/IOHIDFamily/IOHIDFamily-606.1.7/IOHIDFamily/IOHIDConsumer.cpp
 | 
						|

						|
 | 
						|
## JIS keys in Mac OSX
 | 
						|
Japanese JIS keyboard specific keys like `無変換(Muhenkan)`, `変換(Henkan)`, `ひらがな(hiragana)` are not recognized on OSX. You can use **Seil** to enable those keys, try following options.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Enable NFER Key on PC keyboard
 | 
						|
* Enable XFER Key on PC keyboard
 | 
						|
* Enable KATAKANA Key on PC keyboard

## RN-42 Bluetooth doesn't work with Karabiner
 | 
						|
Karabiner - Keymapping tool on Mac OSX - ignores inputs from RN-42 module by default. You have to enable this option to make Karabiner working with your keyboard.
 | 
						|
https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner/issues/403#issuecomment-102559237

## Esc and `~ on a key
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can define FC660 and Poker style ESC with `ACTION_LAYER_MODS`.

## 32 Fn keys are not enough?
 | 
						|
### actionmap
 | 
						|
It uses 16 bit codes and has no limitation of 32 Fn at the expense of memory space. TMK keymap is actually is 8 bit codes as subset of the actionmap.

## Eject on Mac OSX
 | 
						|
`EJCT` keycode works on OSX. https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/250
 | 
						|
It seems Windows 10 ignores the code and Linux/Xorg recognizes but has no mapping by default.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Not sure what keycode Eject is on genuine Apple keyboard actually. HHKB uses `F20` for Eject key(`Fn+f`) on Mac mode but this is not same as Apple Eject keycode probably.

## What's weak_mods and real_mods in action_util.c
 | 
						|
___TO BE IMPROVED___
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
real_mods is intended to retains state of real/physical modifier key state, while
 | 
						|
weak_mods retains state of virtual or temprary modifiers which should not affect state real modifier key.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Let's say you hold down physical left shift key and type ACTION_MODS_KEY(LSHIFT, KC_A), 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
with weak_mods,
 | 
						|
* (1) hold down left shift: real_mods |= MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
 | 
						|
* (2) press ACTION_MODS_KEY(LSHIFT, KC_A): weak_mods |= MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
 | 
						|
* (3) release ACTION_MODS_KEY(LSHIFT, KC_A): waek_mods &= ~MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
 | 
						|
real_mods still keeps modifier state.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
without weak mods,
 | 
						|
* (1) hold down left shift: real_mods |= MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
 | 
						|
* (2) press ACTION_MODS_KEY(LSHIFT, KC_A): real_mods |= MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
 | 
						|
* (3) release ACTION_MODS_KEY(LSHIFT, KC_A): real_mods &= ~MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
 | 
						|
here real_mods lost state for 'physical left shift'.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
weak_mods is ORed with real_mods when keyboard report is sent.
