Configuring QMK

QMK is nearly infinitely configurable. Wherever possible we err on the side of allowing users to customize their keyboard, even at the expense of code size. That level of flexibility makes for a daunting configuration experience, however.

There are three main types of configuration files in QMK:

config.h, which contains various preprocessor directives (#define, #ifdef)
rules.mk, which contains additional variables
info.json, which is utilized for data-driven configuration

This page will only discuss the first two types, config.h and rules.mk.

?> While not all settings have data-driven equivalents yet, keyboard makers are encouraged to utilize the info.json file to set the metadata for their boards when possible. See the info.json Format page for more details.

These files exist at various levels in QMK and all files of the same type are combined to build the final configuration. The levels, from lowest priority to highest priority, are:

QMK Default
Keyboard
Folders (Up to 5 levels deep)
Keymap

QMK Default

Every available setting in QMK has a default. If that setting is not set at the Keyboard, Folder, or Keymap level this is the setting that will be used.

Keyboard

This level contains config options that should apply to the whole keyboard. Some settings won't change in revisions, or most keymaps. Other settings are merely defaults for this keyboard and can be overridden by folders and/or keymaps.

Folders

Some keyboards have folders and sub-folders to allow for different hardware configurations. Most keyboards only go 1 folder deep, but QMK supports structures up to 5 folders deep. Each folder can have its own config.h and rules.mk files that are incorporated into the final configuration.

Keymap

This level contains all of the options for that particular keymap. If you wish to override a previous declaration, you can use #undef <variable> to undefine it, where you can then redefine it without an error.

The `config.h` File

This is a C header file that is one of the first things included, and will persist over the whole project (if included). Lots of variables can be set here and accessed elsewhere. The config.h file shouldn't be including other config.h files, or anything besides this:

#include "config_common.h"

Split Keyboard Options

Split Keyboard specific options, make sure you have 'SPLIT_KEYBOARD = yes' in your rules.mk

SPLIT_TRANSPORT = custom
- Allows replacing the standard split communication routines with a custom one. ARM based split keyboards must use this at present.

Setting Handedness

One thing to remember, the side that the USB port is plugged into is always the master half. The side not plugged into USB is the slave.

There are a few different ways to set handedness for split keyboards (listed in order of precedence):

Set SPLIT_HAND_PIN: Reads a pin to determine handedness. If pin is high, it's the left side, if low, the half is determined to be the right side
Set EE_HANDS and flash eeprom-lefthand.eep/eeprom-righthand.eep to each half
- For boards with DFU bootloader you can use :dfu-split-left/:dfu-split-right to flash these EEPROM files
- For boards with Caterina bootloader (like stock Pro Micros), use :avrdude-split-left/:avrdude-split-right
- For boards with ARM DFU bootloader (like Proton C), use :dfu-util-split-left/:dfu-util-split-right
Set MASTER_RIGHT: Half that is plugged into the USB port is determined to be the master and right half (inverse of the default)
Default: The side that is plugged into the USB port is the master half and is assumed to be the left half. The slave side is the right half

Defines for handedness

#define SPLIT_HAND_PIN B7
- For using high/low pin to determine handedness, low = right hand, high = left hand. Replace B7 with the pin you are using. This is optional, and if you leave SPLIT_HAND_PIN undefined, then you can still use the EE_HANDS method or MASTER_LEFT / MASTER_RIGHT defines like the stock Let's Split uses.
#define SPLIT_HAND_MATRIX_GRID <out_pin>,<in_pin>
- The handedness is determined by using the intersection of the keyswitches in the key matrix, which does not exist. Normally, when this intersection is shorted (level low), it is considered left. If you define #define SPLIT_HAND_MATRIX_GRID_LOW_IS_RIGHT, it is determined to be right when the level is low.
#define EE_HANDS (only works if SPLIT_HAND_PIN and SPLIT_HAND_MATRIX_GRID are not defined)
- Reads the handedness value stored in the EEPROM after eeprom-lefthand.eep/eeprom-righthand.eep has been flashed to their respective halves.
#define MASTER_RIGHT
- Master half is defined to be the right half.

Other Options

#define USE_I2C
- For using I2C instead of Serial (default is serial; serial transport is supported on ARM -- I2C is AVR-only)
#define SOFT_SERIAL_PIN D0
- When using serial, define this. D0 or D1,D2,D3,E6.
#define MATRIX_ROW_PINS_RIGHT { <row pins> }
#define MATRIX_COL_PINS_RIGHT { <col pins> }
- If you want to specify a different pinout for the right half than the left half, you can define MATRIX_ROW_PINS_RIGHT/MATRIX_COL_PINS_RIGHT. Currently, the size of MATRIX_ROW_PINS must be the same as MATRIX_ROW_PINS_RIGHT and likewise for the definition of columns.
- may be omitted by the keyboard designer if matrix reads are handled in an alternate manner. See low-level matrix overrides for more information.
#define DIRECT_PINS_RIGHT { { F1, F0, B0, C7 }, { F4, F5, F6, F7 } }
- If you want to specify a different direct pinout for the right half than the left half, you can define DIRECT_PINS_RIGHT. Currently, the size of DIRECT_PINS must be the same as DIRECT_PINS_RIGHT.
#define RGBLED_SPLIT { 6, 6 }
- See RGB Light Configuration
#define SELECT_SOFT_SERIAL_SPEED <speed> (default speed is 1)
- Sets the protocol speed when using serial communication
- Speeds:
  - 0: about 189kbps (Experimental only)
  - 1: about 137kbps (default)
  - 2: about 75kbps
  - 3: about 39kbps
  - 4: about 26kbps
  - 5: about 20kbps
#define SPLIT_USB_DETECT
- Detect (with timeout) USB connection when delegating master/slave
- Default behavior for ARM
- Required for AVR Teensy (without hardware mods)
#define SPLIT_USB_TIMEOUT 2000
- Maximum timeout when detecting master/slave when using SPLIT_USB_DETECT
#define SPLIT_USB_TIMEOUT_POLL 10
- Poll frequency when detecting master/slave when using SPLIT_USB_DETECT
#define SPLIT_WATCHDOG_ENABLE
- Reboot slave if no communication from master within timeout.
- Helps resolve issue where both sides detect as slave using SPLIT_USB_DETECT
#define SPLIT_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT 3000
- Maximum slave timeout when waiting for communication from master when using SPLIT_WATCHDOG_ENABLE
#define FORCED_SYNC_THROTTLE_MS 100
- Deadline for synchronizing data from master to slave when using the QMK-provided split transport.
#define SPLIT_TRANSPORT_MIRROR
- Mirrors the master-side matrix on the slave when using the QMK-provided split transport.
#define SPLIT_LAYER_STATE_ENABLE
- Ensures the current layer state is available on the slave when using the QMK-provided split transport.
#define SPLIT_LED_STATE_ENABLE
- Ensures the current host indicator state (caps/num/scroll) is available on the slave when using the QMK-provided split transport.
#define SPLIT_MODS_ENABLE
- Ensures the current modifier state (normal, weak, and oneshot) is available on the slave when using the QMK-provided split transport.
#define SPLIT_WPM_ENABLE
- Ensures the current WPM is available on the slave when using the QMK-provided split transport.
#define SPLIT_OLED_ENABLE
- Syncs the on/off state of the OLED between the halves.
#define SPLIT_ST7565_ENABLE
- Syncs the on/off state of the ST7565 screen between the halves.
#define SPLIT_TRANSACTION_IDS_KB .....
#define SPLIT_TRANSACTION_IDS_USER .....
- Allows for custom data sync with the slave when using the QMK-provided split transport. See custom data sync between sides for more information.

The `rules.mk` File

This is a make file that is included by the top-level Makefile. It is used to set some information about the MCU that we will be compiling for as well as enabling and disabling certain features.

Build Options

DEFAULT_FOLDER
- Used to specify a default folder when a keyboard has more than one sub-folder.
FIRMWARE_FORMAT
- Defines which format (bin, hex) is copied to the root qmk_firmware folder after building.
SRC
- Used to add files to the compilation/linking list.
LIB_SRC
- Used to add files as a library to the compilation/linking list. The files specified by LIB_SRC is linked after the files specified by SRC. For example, if you specify:
```
SRC += a.c
LIB_SRC += lib_b.c
SRC += c.c
LIB_SRC += lib_d.c
```
  The link order is as follows.
```
 ...  a.o c.o  ...  lib_b.a lib_d.a  ...
```
LAYOUTS
- A list of layouts this keyboard supports.
LTO_ENABLE
- Enables Link Time Optimization (LTO) when compiling the keyboard. This makes the process take longer, but it can significantly reduce the compiled size (and since the firmware is small, the added time is not noticeable).

AVR MCU Options

MCU = atmega32u4
F_CPU = 16000000
ARCH = AVR8
F_USB = $(F_CPU)
OPT_DEFS += -DINTERRUPT_CONTROL_ENDPOINT
BOOTLOADER = atmel-dfu with the following options:
- atmel-dfu
- lufa-dfu
- qmk-dfu
- halfkay
- caterina
- bootloadhid
- usbasploader

Feature Options :id=feature-options

Use these to enable or disable building certain features. The more you have enabled the bigger your firmware will be, and you run the risk of building a firmware too large for your MCU.

MAGIC_ENABLE
- MAGIC actions (BOOTMAGIC without the boot)
BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE
- Enable Bootmagic Lite
MOUSEKEY_ENABLE
- Mouse keys
EXTRAKEY_ENABLE
- Audio control and System control
CONSOLE_ENABLE
- Console for debug
COMMAND_ENABLE
- Commands for debug and configuration
COMBO_ENABLE
- Key combo feature
NKRO_ENABLE
- USB N-Key Rollover - if this doesn't work, see here: https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/wiki/FAQ#nkro-doesnt-work
RING_BUFFERED_6KRO_REPORT_ENABLE
- USB 6-Key Rollover - Instead of stopping any new input once 6 keys are pressed, the oldest key is released and the new key is pressed.
AUDIO_ENABLE
- Enable the audio subsystem.
KEY_OVERRIDE_ENABLE
- Enable the key override feature
RGBLIGHT_ENABLE
- Enable keyboard underlight functionality
LEADER_ENABLE
- Enable leader key chording
MIDI_ENABLE
- MIDI controls
UNICODE_ENABLE
- Unicode
BLUETOOTH_ENABLE
- Current options are BluefruitLE, RN42
SPLIT_KEYBOARD
- Enables split keyboard support (dual MCU like the let's split and bakingpy's boards) and includes all necessary files located at quantum/split_common
CUSTOM_MATRIX
- Allows replacing the standard matrix scanning routine with a custom one.
DEBOUNCE_TYPE
- Allows replacing the standard key debouncing routine with an alternative or custom one.
WAIT_FOR_USB
- Forces the keyboard to wait for a USB connection to be established before it starts up
NO_USB_STARTUP_CHECK
- Disables usb suspend check after keyboard startup. Usually the keyboard waits for the host to wake it up before any tasks are performed. This is useful for split keyboards as one half will not get a wakeup call but must send commands to the master.
DEFERRED_EXEC_ENABLE
- Enables deferred executor support -- timed delays before callbacks are invoked. See deferred execution for more information.
DYNAMIC_TAPPING_TERM_ENABLE
- Allows to configure the global tapping term on the fly.

USB Endpoint Limitations

In order to provide services over USB, QMK has to use USB endpoints. These are a finite resource: each microcontroller has only a certain number. This limits what features can be enabled together. If the available endpoints are exceeded, a build error is thrown.

The following features can require separate endpoints:

MOUSEKEY_ENABLE
EXTRAKEY_ENABLE
CONSOLE_ENABLE
NKRO_ENABLE
MIDI_ENABLE
RAW_ENABLE
VIRTSER_ENABLE

In order to improve utilisation of the endpoints, the HID features can be combined to use a single endpoint. By default, MOUSEKEY, EXTRAKEY, and NKRO are combined into a single endpoint.

The base keyboard functionality can also be combined into the endpoint, by setting KEYBOARD_SHARED_EP = yes. This frees up one more endpoint, but it can prevent the keyboard working in some BIOSes, as they do not implement Boot Keyboard protocol switching.

Combining the mouse also breaks Boot Mouse compatibility. The mouse can be uncombined by setting MOUSE_SHARED_EP = no if this functionality is required.
