# Basic Keycodes
-Basic keycodes are based on [HID Usage Keyboard/Keypad Page(0x07)](http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/Hut1_12v2.pdf) with following exceptions:
-
-* `KC_NO` = 0 for no action
-* `KC_TRNS` = 1 for layer transparency
-* internal special keycodes in the `0xA5-DF` range (tmk heritage).
+The basic set of keycodes are based on the [HID Keyboard/Keypad Usage Page (0x07)](http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/Hut1_12v2.pdf) with the exception of `KC_NO`, `KC_TRNS` and keycodes in the `0xA5-DF` range. See below for more details.
