Fix more broken links to the HID spec
2018-10-17 20:27:16 +00:00
The basic set of keycodes are based on the [HID Keyboard/Keypad Usage Page (0x07)](https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/documents/hut1_12v2.pdf) with the exception of `KC_NO`, `KC_TRNS` and keycodes in the `0xA5-DF` range. See below for more details.

These keycodes are not part of the Keyboard/Keypad usage page. The `SYSTEM_` keycodes are found in the Generic Desktop page, and the rest are located in the Consumer page.
Remove obsolete note about media keys in MacOS (#6631) * Remove obsolete note about media keys in MacOS KC_MNXT and KC_MPRV work fine on MacOS, so this note is obsolete. * Document behaviour of MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD/MEDIA_REWIND codes on MacOS * Small typo fix, and make OS-dependent keycode claim less absolute * Update docs/keycodes_basic.md Co-Authored-By: fauxpark <fauxpark@gmail.com>

?> Some of these keycodes may behave differently depending on the OS. For example, on macOS, the keycodes `KC_MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD`, `KC_MEDIA_REWIND`, `KC_MEDIA_NEXT_TRACK` and `KC_MEDIA_PREV_TRACK` skip within the current track when held, but skip the entire track when tapped.
