Note that ***higher layer has higher priority on stack of layers***, namely firmware falls down from top layer to bottom to look up keycode. Once it spots keycode other than **`KC_TRNS`**(transparent) on a layer it stops searching and lower layers aren't referred.
You can place `KC_TRNS` on overlay layer changes just part of layout to fall back on lower or base layer.
-Key with `KC_TRANS` doen't has its own keycode and refers to lower valid layers for keycode, instead.
+Key with `KC_TRANS` doesn't has its own keycode and refers to lower valid layers for keycode, instead.
See example below.
## 1. Keycode
-See [`common/keycode.h`](../common/keycode.h) or keycode table below for the detail. Keycode is internal **8bit code** to inidicate action performed on key in keymap. Keycode has `KC_` prefixed symbol respectively. Most of keycodes like `KC_A` have simple action registers key to host on press and unregister on release, while some of other keycodes has some special actions like `Fn` keys, Media contorl keys, System control keys and Mousekeys.

***In `KEYMAP()` macro you should omit prefix part `KC_` of keycode to keep keymap compact.*** For example, just use `A` instead you place `KC_A` in `KEYMAP()`. Some keycodes has 4-letter **short name** in addition to descriptive name, you'll prefer short one in `KEYMAP()`.
### 1.0 Other key
-- `KC_NO` for no aciton
+- `KC_NO` for no action
- `KC_TRNS` for layer transparency (See above)
### 1.1 Normal key
- `KC_WSCH`, `KC_WHOM`, `KC_WBAK`, `KC_WFWD`, `KC_WSTP`, `KC_WREF`, `KC_WFAV` for web browser operation
### 1.5 Fn key
-`KC_FNnn` are keycodes for `Fn` key which not given any actions at the beginning unlike most of keycodes has its own inborn action. To use these keycodes in `KEYMAP()` you need to assign action you want at first. Action of `Fn` key is defined in `fn_actions[]` and its index of the array is identical with number part of `KC_FNnn`. Thus `KC_FN0` keyocde indicates the action defined in first element of the array. ***32 `Fn` keys can be defined at most.***

### 1.6 Keycode Table
See keycode table in [`doc/keycode.txt`](./keycode.txt) for description of keycodes.
## 2. Action
-See [`common/action.h`](../common/action.h). Action is a **16bit code** and defines function to perform on events of a key like press, release, holding and tapping.
+See [`common/action_code.h`](../common/action_code.h). Action is a **16bit code** and defines function to perform on events of a key like press, release, holding and tapping.
-Most of keys just register 8bit scancode to host, but to support other complex features needs 16bit extended action codes internally. However, using 16bit action codes in keymap results in double size in memory compared to using jsut keycodes. To avoid this waste 8bit keycodes are used in `KEYMAP()` instead of action codes.

***You can just use keycodes of `Normal key`, `Modifier`, `Mousekey` and `System & Media key` in keymap*** to indicate corresponding actions instead of using action codes. While ***to use other special actions you should use keycode of `Fn` key defined in `fn_actions[]`.***

ACTION_LAYER_MOMENTARY(1)
-After switch actions of destination layer are perfomed.

+
+Say you want to type 'The', you have to push and hold Shift key before type 't' then release it before type 'h' and 'e', otherwise you'll get 'THe' or 'the' unintentionally.
