Instead of having all sendstring keycode mappings in the main quantum.c file, give each one its own file in keymap_extras that can be #included in a user's keymap. If one is included, it will define the appropriate lookup tables and overwrite the weak definitions in quantum.c. (Including more than one sendstring definition will fail at compile time.) Update @rai-suta's test keymap to match, as well as the documentation. --- docs/macros.md | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'docs/macros.md') diff --git a/docs/macros.md b/docs/macros.md index 1418d24ab4..bbf51434ac 100644 --- a/docs/macros.md +++ b/docs/macros.md @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ A macro can include the following commands: ## Sending strings -Sometimes you just want a key to type out words or phrases.
