All (most) `_user` functions are handled here instead. To allow keyboard specific configuration, I've created `_keymap` functions that can be called by the keymap.c files instead.
This allows for keyboard specific configuration while maintaining the ability to customize the board.
My [Ergodox EZ Keymap](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/ergodox_ez/keymaps/drashna/keymap.c#L399) is a good example of this, as it uses the LEDs as modifier indicators.
This borrows from @jola5's "Not quite neo" code. This allows me to maintain blocks of keymaps in the userspace, so that I can modify the userspace, and this is reflected in all of the keyboards that use it, at once.
This makes adding tap/hold mods, or other special keycodes or functions to all keyboards super easy, as it's done to all of them at once.
The caveat here is that the keymap needs a processor/wrapper, as it doesn't like the substitutions. However, this is as simple as just pushing it through a define. For instance:
A bunch of macros are present and are only included on boards that are not the Ergodox EZ or Orthodox, as they are not needed for those boards.
Included is a custom macro for compiling my keyboards. This includes the bootloader target (`:teensy`, `:avrdude`, or `:dfu`), and keeps RGBLIGHT, AUDIO and/or FAUXCLICKY enabled, if it previously was (regardless of the rules file).
This also includes a modified RESET keycode as well, that sets the underglow to red.
Layer Indication
----------------
This uses the `layer_state_set_*` command to change the layer color, to indicate which layer it is on. This includes the default keymap, as well.
Since this is done via userspace, it is the same between all systems.
Additionally, there is a custom keycode to toggle layer indication. And all RGB keycodes disable layer indication by default, as well. This way, I can leave special effects doing when I want.
Also. I use `rgblight_sethsv` since it works with animation modes (that support it).
Diablo Layer
------------
This layer has some special handling.
When Tap Dances are enabled, this layer has the ability to "spam" keypresses.
For instance, tapping the TD "1" twice causes the layer to hit "1" ever 1 second (appoximately). This is useful for auto-hotkeying skills (such as bone armor or devour).
Tappind once disables this, and switching layers temporarily disables this, until you switch back to the layer.
For critics that think this is cheating, search "diablo 3 num lock auto cast". This is just a simpler method, since I no longer own a normal (non QMK) numpad.
Secret Macros
-------------
With help from gitter and Colinta, this adds the ability to add hidden strings to be used for macros.
I have a number of long strings that I need to use that are semi-private. This uses the `__has_include` function to check for the file. If it exists, then it includes the custom text. Otherwise, it uses some default values.
If you would *also* like to take advantage of this feature, you'll first want to make sure your "secrets" file isn't included in the repo. Open `.git/info/exclude` and add `secrets.h` to that file, below the comments.
And this requires `KC_SECRET_1` through `KC_SECRET_5` to be defined in your `<name>.h` file fo the new macros, as well.
Additionally, if you want to make sure that you can disable the function without messing with the file, you need to add this to your `/users/<name>/rules.mk`, so that it catches the flag:
```c
ifeq ($(strip $(NO_SECRETS)), yes)
OPT_DEFS += -DNO_SECRETS
endif
```
Then, if you run `make keyboard:name NO_SECRETS=yes`, it will default to the test strings in your `<name>.c` file, rather than reading from your file.
This adds EEPROM support fo the userspace, so that certain values are configurable in such a way that persists when power is lost. Namely, just the clicky feature and the Overwatch macro option ("is_overwatch"). This is done by reading and saving the structure from EEPROM.
To implement this, first you need to specify the location:
```c
#define EECONFIG_USERSPACE (uint8_t *)20
```
This tells us where in the EEPROM that the data structure is located, and this specifies that it's a byte (8 bits). However, to maximize it's usage, we want to specify a data structure here, so that we can use multiple settings. To do that:
```c
typedef union {
uint32_t raw;
struct {
bool clicky_enable :1;
bool is_overwatch :1;
};
} userspace_config_t;
```
Then, in your C file, you want to add: `userspace_config_t userspace_config;`, and in your `matrix_init_*` function, you want to add `userspace_config.raw = eeprom_read_byte(EECONFIG_USERSPACE);`
From there, you'd want to use the data structure (such as `userspace_config.is_overwatch`) when you want to check this value.
And if you want to update it, update directly and then use `eeprom_update_byte(EECONFIG_USERSPACE, userspace_config.raw);` to write the value back to the EEPROM.
