Overview
When defining a keymap each key needs a valid key definition.
This page documents the symbols that correspond to keycodes that are available to you in QMK.
To customize your board, they can be used by themselves or as action codes in combination with one of the many C macros.
The source of truth for these codes is tmk_core/common/keycode.h file in the qmk source code.
The Keycodes
Keycodes in QMK are based on HID Usage Keyboard/Keypad Page(0x07) with following exceptions:
KC_NO= 0 for no actionKC_TRNS= 1 for layer transparency- internal special keycodes in the
0xA5-DFrange (tmk heritage).
