   8 Updates
   9 -------
  10 #### 2015/04/22
  11 Core library was separated to other branch `core`. <https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/core>
  12
  13 In `Makefile` you need to set `TMK_DIR` to indicate core library location now.
  14
  15     TMK_DIR = ../../tmk_core

 127 Magic Commands
 128 --------------
 129 To see help press `Magic` + `H`.
 130
 131 `Magic` key combination is `LShift` + `RShift` in many project, but `Power` key on ADB converter.
 132 `Magic` keybind can be vary on each project, check `config.h` in project directory.
 133
 134 Following commands can be also executed with `Magic` + key. In console mode `Magic` keybind is not needed.
 135
 136     ----- Command Help -----
 137     c:      enter console mode
 138     d:      toggle debug enable

 158 Boot Magic Configuration - Virtual DIP Switch
 159 ---------------------------------------------
 160 Boot Magic are executed during boot up time. Press Magic key below then plug in keyboard cable.
 161 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.
 162
 163 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 [tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h](tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h).
 164
 165 #### General
 166 - Skip reading EEPROM to start with default configuration(`ESC`)
 167 - Clear configuration stored in EEPROM to reset configuration(`Backspace`)
 168
 169 #### Bootloader
 170 - Kick up Bootloader(`B`)
 171
 172 #### Debug
 173 - Debug enable(`D`)
 174 - Debug matrix enable(`D`+`X`)
 175 - Debug keyboard enable(`D`+`K`)
 176 - Debug mouse enable(`D`+`M`)
 177
 178 #### Keymap
 179 - Swap Control and CapsLock(`Left Control`)
 180 - Change CapsLock to Control(`Caps Lock`)
 181 - Swap LeftAlt and Gui(`Left Alt`)
 182 - Swap RightAlt and Gui(`Right Alt`)
 183 - Disable Gui(`Left Gui`)
 184 - Swap Grave and Escape(`Grave`)
 185 - Swap BackSlash and BackSpace(`Back Slash`)
 186 - Enable NKRO on boot(`N`)
 187
 188 #### Default Layer
 189 - Set Default Layer to 0(`0`)
 190 - Set Default Layer to 1(`1`)
 191 - Set Default Layer to 2(`2`)
 192 - Set Default Layer to 3(`3`)
 193 - Set Default Layer to 4(`4`)
 194 - Set Default Layer to 5(`5`)
 195 - Set Default Layer to 6(`6`)
 196 - Set Default Layer to 7(`7`)

 200 Mechanical Locking support
 201 --------------------------
 202 This feature makes it possible for you to use mechanical locking switch for `CapsLock`, `NumLock`
 203 or `ScrollLock`. To enable this feature define these macros in `config.h` and use `KC_LCAP`, `KC_LN
 204 UM` or `KC_LSCR` in keymap for locking key instead of normal `KC_CAPS`, `KC_NLCK` or `KC_SLCK`. Res
 205 ync option tries to keep switch state consistent with keyboard LED state.

 208     #define LOCKING_RESYNC_ENABLE

 218 Debugging
 219 --------
 220 Use PJRC's `hid_listen` to see debug messages. You can use the tool for debug even if firmware use LUFA stack.
 221
 222 You can use xprintf() to display debug info on `hid_listen`, see `tmk_core/common/xprintf.h`.
