   1 Quantum MK Firmware
   2 ================================
   3 This is a keyboard firmware based on the [tmk_keyboard firmware](http://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard) with some useful features for Atmel AVR controller, and more specifically, the OLKB product line.
   4
   5 Updates
   6 -------
   7 #### 2015/04/22
   8 Core library was separated to other branch `core`. <https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/core>
   9
  10 In `Makefile` you need to set `TMK_DIR` to indicate core library location now.
  11
  12     TMK_DIR = ../../tmk_core

 139 Magic Commands
 140 --------------
 141 To see help press `Magic` + `H`.
 142
 143 `Magic` key combination is `LShift` + `RShift` in many project, but `Power` key on ADB converter.
 144 `Magic` keybind can be vary on each project, check `config.h` in project directory.
 145
 146 Following commands can be also executed with `Magic` + key. In console mode `Magic` keybind is not needed.
 147
 148     ----- Command Help -----
 149     c:      enter console mode
 150     d:      toggle debug enable

 170 Boot Magic Configuration - Virtual DIP Switch
 171 ---------------------------------------------
 172 Boot Magic are executed during boot up time. Press Magic key below then plug in keyboard cable.
 173 Note that you must use keys of **Layer 0** as Magic keys. These settings are stored in EEPROM so that retain your configure over power cycles.
 174
 175 To avoid configuring accidentally additive salt key `KC_SPACE` also needs to be pressed along with the following configuration keys. The salt key is configurable in `config.h`. See [tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h](tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h).
 176
 177 #### General
 178 - Skip reading EEPROM to start with default configuration(`ESC`)
 179 - Clear configuration stored in EEPROM to reset configuration(`Backspace`)
 180
 181 #### Bootloader
 182 - Kick up Bootloader(`B`)
 183
 184 #### Debug
 185 - Debug enable(`D`)
 186 - Debug matrix enable(`D`+`X`)
 187 - Debug keyboard enable(`D`+`K`)
 188 - Debug mouse enable(`D`+`M`)
 189
 190 #### Keymap
 191 - Swap Control and CapsLock(`Left Control`)
 192 - Change CapsLock to Control(`Caps Lock`)
 193 - Swap LeftAlt and Gui(`Left Alt`)
 194 - Swap RightAlt and Gui(`Right Alt`)
 195 - Disable Gui(`Left Gui`)
 196 - Swap Grave and Escape(`Grave`)
 197 - Swap BackSlash and BackSpace(`Back Slash`)
 198 - Enable NKRO on boot(`N`)
 199
 200 #### Default Layer
 201 - Set Default Layer to 0(`0`)
 202 - Set Default Layer to 1(`1`)
 203 - Set Default Layer to 2(`2`)
 204 - Set Default Layer to 3(`3`)
 205 - Set Default Layer to 4(`4`)
 206 - Set Default Layer to 5(`5`)
 207 - Set Default Layer to 6(`6`)
 208 - Set Default Layer to 7(`7`)

 211
 212 Mechanical Locking support
 213 --------------------------
 214 This feature makes it possible for you to use mechanical locking switch for `CapsLock`, `NumLock`
 215 or `ScrollLock`. To enable this feature define these macros in `config.h` and use `KC_LCAP`, `KC_LN
 216 UM` or `KC_LSCR` in keymap for locking key instead of normal `KC_CAPS`, `KC_NLCK` or `KC_SLCK`. Res
 217 ync option tries to keep switch state consistent with keyboard LED state.

 229
 230 Debugging
 231 --------
 232 Use PJRC's `hid_listen` to see debug messages. You can use the tool for debug even if firmware use LUFA stack.
 233
 234 You can use xprintf() to display debug info on `hid_listen`, see `tmk_core/common/xprintf.h`.
