This directory holds the code that's the same for every keyboard I use in QMK, which is currently:

Macro Features and Custom Keycodes

VRSN

Outputs a string that tells me the Git commit from which my flashed firmware was built. Looks something like:

kc60:noroadsleft @ 0.6.326-6-gae6d7b-dirty

Git Macros

Some frequently used Git commands.

Keycode	Output	Output with Shift
G_PUSH	git push origin	git push origin
G_FTCH	git fetch upstream	git pull upstream
G_BRCH	master	$(git branch-name)

$(git branch-name) is an alias for git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD, which normally returns the name of the current branch.

"Macro Mode" Macros and Customized Keycodes

Some of my macros and keycodes do different things depending on the value of the macroMode variable, which is toggled between 0 and 1 by the M_MDSWP custom keycode.¹ This is mainly at attempt to make various shortcuts use the same physical key combinations between Windows/Linux and MacOS (which I use at home and work, respectively).

Keycode	macroMode == 0	macroMode == 1	macroMode == 1 with Shift
M_SALL	Ctrl+A	Cmd+A	Cmd+A
M_UNDO	Ctrl+Z	Cmd+Z	Cmd+Shift+Z
M_CUT	Ctrl+X	Cmd+X	Cmd+X
M_COPY	Ctrl+C	Cmd+C	Cmd+C
M_PASTE	Ctrl+V	Cmd+V	Cmd+Shift+Opt+V
KC_PSCR	KC_PSCR	Cmd+Shift+3	Cmd+Shift+3
KC_HOME	KC_HOME	Cmd+Left	Cmd+Left
KC_END	KC_END	Cmd+Right	Cmd+Right

Emulated Non-US Backslash

Sometimes I type in languages from countries that use ISO layout, but my keyboards are all ANSI layout, so I have one key fewer than necessary.

This macro simulates the Non-US Backslash key if I hold Right Alt and tap the key to the right of Left Shift.

Requires defining ANSI_NUBS_ROW and ANSI_NUBS_COL in config.h at the keymap level.²

Emulated Numeric Keypad

If I hold the Right Alt key, the number row (KC_1 through KC_0) will output numpad keycodes instead of number row keycodes, enabling quicker access to characters like ™ and °.

Emulated Extended Function Keys

Similar to the emulated numpad, if I hold the Right Alt key with the Fn key, the function row (KC_F1 through KC_F12) will output keycodes KC_F13 throught KC_F24.
