## `SEND_STRING()` & `process_record_user`
## Using Macros In JSON Keymaps
You can define up to 32 macros in a `keymap.json` file, as used by [Configurator](newbs_building_firmware_configurator.md), and `qmk compile`. You can define these macros in a list under the `macros` keyword, like this:
```json
{
"keyboard": "handwired/my_macropad",
"keymap": "my_keymap",
"macros": [
[
{"action":"down", "keycodes": ["LSFT"]},
"hello world1",
{"action": "up","keycodes": ["LSFT"]}
],
[
{"action":"tap", "keycodes": ["LCTL", "LALT", "DEL"]}
],
[
"ding!",
{"action":"beep"}
],
[
{"action":"tap", "keycodes": ["F1"]},
{"action":"delay", "duration": "1000"},
{"action":"tap", "keycodes": ["PGDN"]}
]
],
"layout": "LAYOUT_all",
"layers": [
["MACRO_0", "MACRO_1", "MACRO_2", "MACRO_3"]
]
}
```
### Selecting Your Host Keyboard Layout
If you type in a language other than English, or use a non-QWERTY layout like Colemak, Dvorak, or Workman, you may have set your computer's input language to match this layout. This presents a challenge when creating macros- you may need to type different keys to get the same letters! To address this you can add the `host_language` key to your keymap.json, like so:
```json
{
"keyboard": "handwired/my_macropad",
"keymap": "my_keymap",
"host_layout": "dvorak",
"macros": [
["Hello, World!"]
],
"layout": "LAYOUT_all",
"layers": [
["MACRO_0"]
]
}
```
The current list of available languages is:

### Macro Basics
Each macro is an array consisting of strings and objects (dictionaries.) Strings are typed to your computer while objects allow you to control how your macro is typed out.
#### Object Format
All objects have one required key: `action`. This tells QMK what the object does. There are currently 5 actions: beep, delay, down, tap, up
Only basic keycodes (prefixed by `KC_`) are supported. Do not include the `KC_` prefix when listing keycodes.
* `beep`
* Play a bell if the keyboard has [audio enabled](feature_audio.md).
* Example: `{"action": "beep"}`
* `delay`
* Pause macro playback. Duration is specified in milliseconds (ms).
* Example: `{"action": "delay", "duration": 500}`
* `down`
* Send a key down event for one or more keycodes.
* Example, single key: `{"action":"down", "keycodes": ["LSFT"]}`
* Example, multiple keys: `{"action":"down", "keycodes": ["CTRL", "LSFT"]}`
* `tap`
* Type a chord, which sends a down event for each key followed by an up event for each key.
* Example, single key: `{"action":"tap", "keycodes": ["F13"]}`
* Example, multiple keys: `{"action":"tap", "keycodes": ["CTRL", "LALT", "DEL"]}`
* `up`
* Send a key up event for one or more keycodes.
* Example, single key: `{"action":"up", "keycodes": ["LSFT"]}`
* Example, multiple keys: `{"action":"up", "keycodes": ["CTRL", "LSFT"]}`
## Using Macros in C Keymaps
### `SEND_STRING()` & `process_record_user`
Sometimes you want a key to type out words or phrases. For the most common situations, we've provided `SEND_STRING()`, which will type out a string (i.e. a sequence of characters) for you. All ASCII characters that are easily translatable to a keycode are supported (e.g. `qmk 123\n\t`).

### Advanced Macros
#### Advanced Macros
In addition to the `process_record_user()` function, is the `post_process_record_user()` function. This runs after `process_record` and can be used to do things after a keystroke has been sent. This is useful if you want to have a key pressed before and released after a normal key, for instance.

## Advanced Macro Functions
### Advanced Macro Functions
There are some functions you may find useful in macro-writing. Keep in mind that while you can write some fairly advanced code within a macro, if your functionality gets too complex you may want to define a custom keycode instead. Macros are meant to be simple.
?> You can also use the functions described in [Useful function](ref_functions.md) and [Checking modifier state](feature_advanced_keycodes#checking-modifier-state) for additional functionality. For example, `reset_keyboard()` allows you to reset the keyboard as part of a macro and `get_mods() & MOD_MASK_SHIFT` lets you check for the existence of active shift modifiers.
### `record->event.pressed`

```
### `register_code(<kc>);`
#### `register_code(<kc>);`
This sends the `<kc>` keydown event to the computer. Some examples would be `KC_ESC`, `KC_C`, `KC_4`, and even modifiers such as `KC_LSFT` and `KC_LGUI`.
### `unregister_code(<kc>);`
#### `unregister_code(<kc>);`
Parallel to `register_code` function, this sends the `<kc>` keyup event to the computer. If you don't use this, the key will be held down until it's sent.
### `tap_code(<kc>);`
#### `tap_code(<kc>);`
Sends `register_code(<kc>)` and then `unregister_code(<kc>)`. This is useful if you want to send both the press and release events ("tap" the key, rather than hold it).
@ -239,31 +339,31 @@ If `TAP_CODE_DELAY` is defined (default 0), this function waits that many millis
If the keycode is `KC_CAPS`, it waits `TAP_HOLD_CAPS_DELAY` milliseconds instead (default 80), as macOS prevents accidental Caps Lock activation by waiting for the key to be held for a certain amount of time.
### `tap_code_delay(<kc>, <delay>);`
#### `tap_code_delay(<kc>, <delay>);`
Like `tap_code(<kc>)`, but with a `delay` parameter for specifying arbitrary intervals before sending the unregister event.
### `register_code16(<kc>);`, `unregister_code16(<kc>);` and `tap_code16(<kc>);`
#### `register_code16(<kc>);`, `unregister_code16(<kc>);` and `tap_code16(<kc>);`
These functions work similar to their regular counterparts, but allow you to use modded keycodes (with Shift, Alt, Control, and/or GUI applied to them).
Eg, you could use `register_code16(S(KC_5));` instead of registering the mod, then registering the keycode.
### `clear_keyboard();`
#### `clear_keyboard();`
This will clear all mods and keys currently pressed.
### `clear_mods();`
#### `clear_mods();`
This will clear all mods currently pressed.
### `clear_keyboard_but_mods();`
#### `clear_keyboard_but_mods();`
This will clear all keys besides the mods currently pressed.
## Advanced Example:
### Advanced Example:
### Super ALT↯TAB
#### Super ALT↯TAB
This macro will register `KC_LALT` and tap `KC_TAB`, then wait for 1000ms. If the key is tapped again, it will send another `KC_TAB`; if there is no tap, `KC_LALT` will be unregistered, thus allowing you to cycle through windows.
