+# Frequently Asked Keymap Questions
-## How to get keycode
-See [Keycodes](Keycodes). Keycodes are actually defined in [common/keycode.h](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/tmk_core/common/keycode.h).
+This page covers questions people often have about keymaps. If you haven't you should read [Keymap Overview](keymap.html) first.
-## Sysrq key
+## What Keycodes Can I Use?
+See [Basic Keycodes](keycodes.html) and [Quantum Keycodes](quantum_keycodes.html) for most of the keys you can define.

+## `KC_SYSREQ` isn't working
Use keycode for Print Screen(`KC_PSCREEN` or `KC_PSCR`) instead of `KC_SYSREQ`. Key combination of 'Alt + Print Screen' is recognized as 'System request'.
See [issue #168](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/168) and
- `KC_PWR` works with Windows and Linux, not with OSX.

## Oneshot modifier
Solves my personal 'the' problem. I often got 'the' or 'THe' wrongly instead of 'The'. Oneshot Shift mitgates this for me.
## Mechanical Lock Switch Support
-https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard#mechanical-locking-support
-
-This feature is for *mechanical lock switch* like this Alps one.
-http://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCL_Lock
-Using enabling this feature and using keycodes `LCAP`, `LNUM` or `LSCR` in keymap you can use physical locking CapsLock, NumLock or ScrollLock keys as you expected.
+This feature is for *mechanical lock switch* like [this Alps one](http://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCL_Lock). You can enable it by adding this to your `config.h`:
+
+```
+#define LOCKING_SUPPORT_ENABLE
+#define LOCKING_RESYNC_ENABLE
+```
-Old vintage mechanical keyboards occasionally have lock switches but modern ones don't have. ***You don't need this feature in most case and just use keycodes `CAPS`, `NLCK` and `SLCK`.***
+After enabling this feature use keycodes `KC_LCAP`, `KC_LNUM` and `KC_LSCR` in your keymap instead.

## Input special charactors other than ASCII like Cédille 'Ç'
NO UNIVERSAL METHOD TO INPUT THOSE WORKS OVER ALL SYSTEMS. You have to define **MACRO** in way specific to your OS or layout.
## Esc and `~ on a key
-You can define FC660 and Poker style ESC with `ACTION_LAYER_MODS`.

-## 32 Fn keys are not enough?
-### actionmap
-It uses 16 bit codes and has no limitation of 32 Fn at the expense of memory space. TMK keymap is actually is 8 bit codes as subset of the actionmap.

+Use `GRAVE_ESC` or `KC_GESC` in your keymap.
## Arrow on Right Modifier keys with Dual-Role
This turns right modifer keys into arrow keys when the keys are tapped while still modifiers when the keys are hold. In TMK the dual-role function is dubbed **TAP**.
```
+
#include "keymap_common.h"
```
-
Dual-role key: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modifier_key#Dual-role_keys
## Eject on Mac OSX
-`EJCT` keycode works on OSX. https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/250
+`KC_EJCT` keycode works on OSX. https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/250
It seems Windows 10 ignores the code and Linux/Xorg recognizes but has no mapping by default.
Not sure what keycode Eject is on genuine Apple keyboard actually. HHKB uses `F20` for Eject key(`Fn+f`) on Mac mode but this is not same as Apple Eject keycode probably.

## What's weak_mods and real_mods in action_util.c
___TO BE IMPROVED___
```
It's best to declare the `static uint16_t key_timer;` at the top of the file, outside of any code blocks you're using it in.
