Within your `keymap.c` it may look like you have functions and other special cases, but ultimately the C preprocessor will translate those into a single 4 byte integer. QMK has reserved `0x0000` through `0x00FF` for standard keycodes. These are keycodes such as `KC_A`, `KC_1`, and `KC_LCTL`, which are basic keys defined in the USB HID specification. + +On this page we have documented keycodes between `0x00FF` and `0xFFFF` which are used to implement advanced quantum features. If you define your own custom keycodes they will be put into this range as well. + +## QMK keycodes + +|Name|Description| +|----|-----------| +|`RESET`|Put the keyboard into DFU mode for flashing| +|`DEBUG`|Toggles debug mode| +|`KC_GESC`/`GRAVE_ESC`|Acts as escape when pressed normally but when pressed with Shift or GUI will send a ```| +|`KC_LSPO`|Left shift when held, open paranthesis when tapped| +|`KC_RSPC`|Right shift when held, close paranthesis when tapped| +|`KC_LEAD`|The [leader key](feature_leader_key.md)| +|`KC_LOCK`|The [lock key](key_lock.md)| +|`FUNC(n)`/`F(n)`|Call `fn_action(n)` (deprecated)| +|`M(n)`|to call macro n| +|`MACROTAP(n)`|to macro-tap n idk FIXME| |
