Magic Commands

To see help press Magic + H.

Magic key bind may be LShift + RShift in many project, but Power key on ADB converter. Magic keybind can be vary on each project, check config.h in project directory.

Following commands can be also executed with Magic + key. In console mode Magic keybind is not needed.

----- Command Help -----
c:      enter console mode
d:      toggle debug enable
x:      toggle matrix debug
k:      toggle keyboard debug
m:      toggle mouse debug
v:      print device version & info
t:      print timer count
s:      print status
e:	    print eeprom config
n:	    toggle NKRO
0/F10:  switch to Layer0
1/F1:   switch to Layer1
2/F2:   switch to Layer2
3/F3:   switch to Layer3
4/F4:   switch to Layer4
PScr:   power down/remote wake-up
Caps:   Lock Keyboard(Child Proof)
Paus:   jump to bootloader

TBD

Boot Magic Configuration - Virtual DIP Switch

Boot Magic are executed during boot up time. Press Magic key below then plug in keyboard cable. Note that you must use keys of Layer 0 as Magic keys. These settings are stored in EEPROM so that retain your configure over power cycles.

To avoid configuring accidentally additive salt key KC_SPACE also needs to be pressed along with the following configuration keys. The salt key is configurable in config.h. See common/bootmagic.h.

General

• Skip reading EEPROM to start with default configuration(ESC)
• Clear configuration stored in EEPROM to reset configuration(Backspace)

Bootloader

• Kick up Bootloader(B)

Debug

• Debug enable(D)
• Debug matrix enable(D+X)
• Debug keyboard enable(D+K)
• Debug mouse enable(D+M)

Keymap

• Swap Control and CapsLock(Left Control)
• Change CapsLock to Control(Caps Lock)
• Swap LeftAlt and Gui(Left Alt)
• Swap RightAlt and Gui(Right Alt)
• Disable Gui(Left Gui)
• Swap Grave and Escape(Grave)
• Swap BackSlash and BackSpace(Back Slash)
• Enable NKRO on boot(N)

Default Layer

• Set Default Layer to 0(0)
• Set Default Layer to 1(1)
• Set Default Layer to 2(2)
• Set Default Layer to 3(3)
• Set Default Layer to 4(4)
• Set Default Layer to 5(5)
• Set Default Layer to 6(6)
• Set Default Layer to 7(7)

Caution

Unintentional use of this feature will cause user confusion.

TODO: Magic key combination to avoid unintentional press during plug in

TBD

Mechanical Locking support

This feature makes it possible for you to use mechanical switch for CapsLock, NumLock or ScrollLock. To enable this feature define these macros in config.h and use KC_LCAP, KC_LNUM or KC_LSCR in keymap for locking key instead of normal KC_CAPS, KC_NLCK or KC_SLCK. Resync option tries to keep lock switch state consistent with keyboard LED state.

#define LOCKING_SUPPORT_ENABLE
#define LOCKING_RESYNC_ENABLE

Debugging

Use PJRC's hid_listen to see debug messages. You can use the tool for debug even if firmware use LUFA stack.

You can use xprintf() to display debug info on hid_listen, see common/xprintf.h.
