-# Command (Formerly known as Magic)
+# Command
-Command is a way to change your keyboard's behavior without having to flash or unplug it to use [Bootmagic](feature_bootmagic.md). There is a lot of overlap between this functionality and the [Bootmagic Keycodes](feature_bootmagic.md). Whenever possible we encourage you to use that functionality instead of Command.

There is a lot of overlap between this functionality and the [Bootmagic Keycodes](feature_bootmagic.md#keycodes). Wherever possible we encourage you to use that feature instead of Command.
-## Enabling Command
+On some keyboards Command is disabled by default. If this is the case, it must be explicitly enabled in your `rules.mk`:
-By default Command is disabled. You can enable it in your `rules.mk` file:
-
- COMMAND_ENABLE = yes
+```make
+COMMAND_ENABLE = yes
+```
## Usage
-To use Command you hold down the key combination defined by `IS_COMMAND`. By default that combination is both shift keys. While holding the key combination press the key corresponding to the command you want.
-
-For example, to write the current QMK version to the QMK Toolbox console, you can press `Left Shift`+`Right Shift`+`V`.
+To use Command, hold down the key combination defined by the `IS_COMMAND()` macro. By default this is Left Shift+Right Shift. Then, press the key corresponding to the command you want. For example, to output the current QMK version to the QMK Toolbox console, press Left Shift+Right Shift+`V`.
## Configuration
-The following values can be defined in `config.h` to control the behavior of Command.

+If you would like to change the key assignments for Command, `#define` these in your `config.h` at either the keyboard or keymap level. All keycode assignments here must omit the `KC_` prefix.
