# Quantum Mechanical Keyboard Firmware
-You have found the QMK Firmware documentation site. This is a keyboard firmware based on the [tmk_keyboard firmware](http://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard) with some useful features for Atmel AVR controllers, and more specifically, the [OLKB product line](http://olkb.com), the [ErgoDox EZ](http://www.ergodox-ez.com) keyboard, and the [Clueboard product line](http://clueboard.co/). It has also been ported to ARM chips using ChibiOS. You can use it to power your own hand-wired or custom keyboard PCB.

-# Going beyond the keycodes
+# Configuring QMK Firmware
-Aside from the [basic keycodes](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/wiki/Keycodes), your keymap can include shortcuts to common operations.
+The QMK Firmware can be configured via the `keymaps` array data. For simply generating a [basic keycode](Keycodes), you add it as an element of your `keymaps` array data. For more complicated actions, there are more advanced keycodes that are organized carefully to represent common operations, some of which can be found on the [Key Functions](Key-Functions) page.
-## Quick aliases to common actions
-
-Your keymap can include shortcuts to common operations (called "function actions" in tmk). To learn more about them check out the [Key Functions](Key-Functions) page.
+For more details of the `keymaps` array, see [Keymap Overview](Keymap) page.
