Advanced Keys

This is a catch-all category for keys that aren’t simple and have nothing to do with layers.

Key	Description
MACRO(key,...)	Execute a macro of keys.
WRAP(key_outer,key_inner)	Wrap a key with another key, e.g. WRAP(KC_LEFTSHIFT,KC_9).
SPACECADET(key_tap,key_held)	Emit different keys depending on whether the key is tapped or held.

MACRO(...)

A macro key is a collection of keys that are pressed and released in order when the physical key is released.

WRAP(OUTER,INNER)

Wrap an INNER key with an OUTER key. Useful for getting shifted characters such as (){}.

Example:WRAP(KC_LEFTSHIFT,KC_1) -> !

SPACECADET(KEY,HELD)

Emit a KEY when tapped, or act like HELD when held. This is similar to a one-shot-layer in the sense that key behavior depends on timing.

The specific use case for this key is modifying shifts to emit parentheses when tapped. This would be accomplished via:

Example:SPACECADET(WRAP(KC_LEFTSHIFT,KC_9),KC_LEFTSHIFT)
