Overview
When defining a keymap each key needs a valid key definition. This page documents the symbols that correspond to keyboard scan codes that are available to you in QMK. They can be used by themselves or in combination with one of the many functions available to customize your board.
The source of truth for these codes is the keycode.txt file in the qmk documentation.
