Sometimes you just want a key to type out words or phrases. For the most common situations we've provided `SEND_STRING()`, which will type out your string (i.e. a sequence of characters) for you. All ASCII characters that are easily translated to a keycode are supported (e.g. `\n\t`).
|
||||
|
||||
For example, you could write in your `keymap.c`:
|
||||
Here is an example `keymap.c` for a two-key keyboard:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
enum custom_keycodes {

|
||||
SEND_STRING("QMK is the best thing ever!");

||||
return false; break;

||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return true;
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To activate this macro, assign the keycode `MY_CUSTOM_MACRO` to one of your keys in your keymap.
|
||||
const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {
|
||||
[0] = {
|
||||
{MY_CUSTOM_MACRO, KC_ESC}
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
What happens here is this:
|
||||
We first define a new custom keycode in the range not occupied by any other keycodes.
|
||||
Then we use the `process_record_user` function, which is called whenever a key is pressed or released, to check if our custom keycode has been activated.
|
||||
If yes, we send the string `"QMK is the best thing ever!"` to the computer via the `SEND_STRING` macro (this is a C preprocessor macro, not to be confused with QMK macros).
|
||||
We return `false` to indicate to the caller that the key press we just processed need not be processed any further.
|
||||
Finally, we define the keymap so that the first button activates our macro and the second button is just an escape button.
|
||||
|
||||
You might want to add more than one macro.
|
||||
You can do that by adding another keycode and adding another case to the switch statement, like so:
