# Grave Escape
Grave Escape is a feature that allows you to share the grave key (<code>&#96;</code> and `~`) on the same key as Escape. When `KC_GESC` is used it will act as `KC_ESC`, unless Shift or GUI is pressed, in which case it will act as `KC_GRAVE`.
If you're using a 60% keyboard, or any other layout with no F-row, you will have noticed that there is no dedicated Escape key. Grave Escape is a feature that allows you to share the grave key (<code>&#96;</code> and `~`) with Escape.
## Usage
Replace the `KC_GRAVE` key in your keymap (usually to the left of the `1` key) with `KC_GESC`. When pressed it will behave like `KC_ESC`, but with Shift or GUI held it will send `KC_GRAVE`.
## Keycodes
|Key |Aliases |Description |
|---------|-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|`KC_GESC`|`GRAVE_ESC`|Escape when pressed, <code>&#96;</code> when Shift or GUI are held|
There are several possible key combinations this will break, among them Ctrl+Shift+Esc on Windows and Cmd+Opt+Esc on macOS. You can use these options in your `config.h` to work around this:
## Configuration
| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `GRAVE_ESC_ALT_OVERRIDE` | Always send Escape if Alt is pressed. |
| `GRAVE_ESC_CTRL_OVERRIDE` | Always send Escape if Ctrl is pressed. |
| `GRAVE_ESC_GUI_OVERRIDE` | Always send Escape if GUI is pressed. |
| `GRAVE_ESC_SHIFT_OVERRIDE` | Always send Escape if SHIFT is pressed. |
There are several possible key combinations this will break, among them Control+Shift+Escape on Windows and Command+Option+Escape on macOS. To work around this, you can `#define` these options in your `config.h`:
|Define |Description |
|--------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|`GRAVE_ESC_ALT_OVERRIDE` |Always send Escape if Alt is pressed |
|`GRAVE_ESC_CTRL_OVERRIDE` |Always send Escape if Control is pressed |
|`GRAVE_ESC_GUI_OVERRIDE` |Always send Escape if GUI is pressed |
|`GRAVE_ESC_SHIFT_OVERRIDE`|Always send Escape if Shift is pressed |
