# Quantum Keycodes
All keycodes within quantum are numbers between `0x0000` and `0xFFFF`. Within your `keymap.c` it may look like you have functions and other special cases, but ultimately the C preprocessor will translate those into a single 4 byte integer. QMK has reserved `0x0000` through `0x00FF` for standard keycodes. These are keycodes such as `KC_A`, `KC_1`, and `KC_LCTL`, which are basic keys defined in the USB HID specification.
On this page we have documented keycodes between `0x00FF` and `0xFFFF` which are used to implement advanced quantum features. If you define your own custom keycodes they will be put into this range as well. Keycodes above `0x00FF` may not be used with any of the mod/layer-tap keys listed

### One Shot Keys
Most modifiers work by being held down while you push another key. You can use `OSM()` to setup a "One Shot" modifier. When you tap a one shot mod it will remain is a pressed state until you press another key.
To specify a your modifier you need to pass the `MOD` form of the key. For example, if you want to setup a One Shot Control you would use `OSM(MOD_LCTL)`.
|Name|Description|
|----|-----------|
|`OSM(mod)`|use mod for one keypress|
|`OSL(layer)`|switch to layer for one keypress|
### Mod-tap keys
These keycodes will press the mod(s) when held, and the key when tapped. They only work with [basic keycodes](basic_keycodes.md).

## US ANSI Shifted symbols
These keycodes correspond to characters that are "shifted" on a standard US ANSI keyboards. They do not have dedicated keycodes but are instead typed by holding down shift and then sending a keycode.
It's important to remember that all of these keycodes send a left shift - this may cause unintended actions if unaccounted for. The short code is preferred in most situations.
|Short Name|Long Name|Description|
|----------|---------|-----------|
|`KC_TILD`|`KC_TILDE`|tilde `~`|
|`KC_EXLM`|`KC_EXCLAIM`|exclamation mark `!`|
|`KC_AT`||at sign `@`|
|`KC_HASH`||hash sign `#`|
|`KC_DLR`|`KC_DOLLAR`|dollar sign `$`|
|`KC_PERC`|`KC_PERCENT`|percent sign `%`|
|`KC_CIRC`|`KC_CIRCUMFLEX`|circumflex `^`|
|`KC_AMPR`|`KC_AMPERSAND`|ampersand `&`|
|`KC_ASTR`|`KC_ASTERISK`|asterisk `*`|
|`KC_LPRN`|`KC_LEFT_PAREN`|left parenthesis `(`|
|`KC_RPRN`|`KC_RIGHT_PAREN`|right parenthesis `)`|
|`KC_UNDS`|`KC_UNDERSCORE`|underscore `_`|

|`KC_LCBR`|`KC_LEFT_CURLY_BRACE`|left curly brace `{`|

|`KC_PIPE`||pipe `\|`|
|`KC_QUES`|`KC_QUESTION`|question mark `?`|
|`KC_DQT`/`KC_DQUO`|`KC_DOUBLE_QUOTE`|double quote `"`|
## Layer Changes
These are keycodes that can be used to change the current layer.
|Name|Description|
|----|-----------|
|`LT(layer, kc)`|turn on layer (0-15) when held, kc ([basic keycodes](basic_keycodes.md)) when tapped|
|`TO(layer)`|turn on layer when depressed|
|`MO(layer)`|momentarily turn on layer when depressed (requires `KC_TRNS` on destination layer)|
|`DF(layer)`|sets the base (default) layer|
|`TG(layer)`|toggle layer on/off|
|`TT(layer)`|tap toggle? idk FIXME|
|`OSL(layer)`|switch to layer for one keycode|
## Unicode
These keycodes can be used in conjuction with the [Unicode](unicode_and_additional_language_support.md) support.
|`UNICODE(n)`/`UC(n)`|if `UNICODE_ENABLE`, this will send characters up to `0x7FFF`|
|`X(n)`|if `UNICODEMAP_ENABLE`, also sends unicode via a different method|
# `SAFE_RANGE`, or safely defining custom keycodes
Sometimes you want to define your own custom keycodes to make your keymap easier to read. QMK provides `SAFE_RANGE` to help you do that. `SAFE_RANGE` is the first available keycode in the `0x0000`-`0xFFFF` range and you can use it when creating your own custom keycode enum:
```
enum my_keycodes {
FOO = SAFE_RANGE,
BAR
};
```
You can then use `process_record_user()` to do something with your keycode:
```
bool process_record_user(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) {
switch (keycode) {
case FOO:
// Do something here
break;
case BAR:
// Do something here
break;
}
}
```
