# The Leader Key: A New Kind of Modifier :id=the-leader-key
2017-02-17 00:24:28 +00:00
If you're a Vim user, you probably know what a Leader key is. In contrast to [Combos](feature_combo.md), the Leader key allows you to hit a *sequence* of up to five keys instead, which triggers some custom functionality once complete.
2017-02-17 00:24:28 +00:00
## Usage :id=usage
2017-02-17 00:24:28 +00:00
Add the following to your `rules.mk`:
2017-02-17 00:24:28 +00:00
```make
LEADER_ENABLE = yes
2017-02-17 00:24:28 +00:00
```
Then add the `QK_LEAD` keycode to your keymap.
## Callbacks :id=callbacks
These callbacks are invoked when the leader sequence begins and ends. In the latter you can implement your custom functionality based on the contents of the sequence buffer.
```c
void leader_start_user(void) {
// Do something when the leader key is pressed
}
void leader_end_user(void) {
if (leader_sequence_one_key(KC_F)) {
// Leader, f => Types the below string
SEND_STRING("QMK is awesome.");
} else if (leader_sequence_two_keys(KC_D, KC_D)) {
// Leader, d, d => Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C
SEND_STRING(SS_LCTL("a") SS_LCTL("c"));
} else if (leader_sequence_three_keys(KC_D, KC_D, KC_S)) {
// Leader, d, d, s => Types the below string
SEND_STRING("https://start.duckduckgo.com\n");
} else if (leader_sequence_two_keys(KC_A, KC_S)) {
// Leader, a, s => GUI+S
tap_code16(LGUI(KC_S));
}
}
```
## Basic Configuration :id=basic-configuration
### Timeout :id=timeout
This is the amount of time you have to complete a sequence once the leader key has been pressed. The default value is 300 milliseconds, but you can change this by adding the following to your `config.h`:
```c
#define LEADER_TIMEOUT 350
```
### Per-Key Timeout :id=per-key-timeout
Rather than relying on an incredibly high timeout for long leader key strings or those of us without 200 wpm typing skills, you can enable per-key timing to ensure that each key pressed provides you with more time to finish the sequence. This is incredibly helpful with leader key emulation of tap dance (such as multiple taps of the same key like C, C, C).
To enable this, add the following to your `config.h`:
```c
#define LEADER_PER_KEY_TIMING
```
After this, it's recommended that you lower your timeout below 300 ms:
```c
#define LEADER_TIMEOUT 250
```
Now, something like this won't seem impossible to do without a 1000 millisecond timeout:
```c
if (leader_sequence_three_keys(KC_C, KC_C, KC_C)) {
SEND_STRING("Per key timing is great!!!");
}
```
### Disabling Initial Timeout :id=disabling-initial-timeout
Sometimes your leader key may be too far away from the rest of the keys in the sequence. Imagine that your leader key is one of your outer top right keys - you may need to reposition your hand just to reach your leader key. This can make typing the entire sequence on time hard difficult if you are able to type most of the sequence fast. For example, if your sequence is `Leader + asd`, typing `asd` fast is very easy once you have your hands in your home row, but starting the sequence in time after moving your hand out of the home row to reach the leader key and back is not.
2021 May 29 Breaking Changes Update (#13034) * Add Per Key functionality for AutoShift (#11536) * LED Matrix: Reactive effect buffers & advanced indicators (#12588) * [Keyboard] kint36: switch to sym_eager_pk debouncing (#12626) * [Keyboard] kint2pp: reduce input latency by ≈10ms (#12625) * LED Matrix: Split (#12633) * [CI] Format code according to conventions (#12650) * feat: infinite timeout for leader key (#6580) * feat: implement leader_no_timeout logic * docs(leader_key): infinite leader timeout docs * Format code according to conventions (#12680) * Update ADC driver for STM32F1xx, STM32F3xx, STM32F4xx (#12403) * Fix default ADC_RESOLUTION for ADCv3 (and ADCv4) Recent ChibiOS update removed ADC_CFGR1_RES_10BIT from the ADCv3 headers (that macro should not have been there, because ADCv3 has CFGR instead of CFGR1). Fix the default value for ADC_RESOLUTION to use ADC_CFGR_RES_10BITS if it is defined (that name is used for ADCv3 and ADCv4). * Update ADC docs to match the actually used resolution ADC driver for ChibiOS actually uses the 10-bit resolution by default (probably to match AVR); fix the documentation accordingly. Also add both ADC_CFGR_RES_10BITS and ADC_CFGR1_RES_10BIT constants (these names differ according to the ADC implementation in the particular MCU). * Fix pinToMux() for B12 and B13 on STM32F3xx Testing on STM32F303CCT6 revealed that the ADC mux values for B12 and B13 pins were wrong. * Add support for all possible analog pins on STM32F1xx Added ADC mux values for pins A0...A7, B0, B1, C0...C5 on STM32F1xx (they are the same at least for STM32F103x8 and larger F103 devices, and also F102, F105, F107 families). Actually tested on STM32F103C8T6 (therefore pins C0...C5 were not tested). Pins F6...F10, which are present on STM32F103x[C-G] in 144-pin packages, cannot be supported at the moment, because those pins are connected only to ADC3, but the ChibiOS ADC driver for STM32F1xx supports only ADC1. * Add support for all possible analog pins on STM32F4xx Added ADC mux values for pins A0...A7, B0, B1, C0...C5 and optionally F3...F10 (if STM32_ADC_USE_ADC3 is enabled). These mux values are apparently the same for all F4xx devices, except some smaller devices may not have ADC3. Actually tested on STM32F401CCU6, STM32F401CEU6, STM32F411CEU6 (using various WeAct “Blackpill” boards); only pins A0...A7, B0, B1 were tested. Pins F3...F10 are inside `#if STM32_ADC_USE_ADC3` because some devices which don't have ADC3 also don't have the GPIOF port, therefore the code which refers to Fx pins does not compile. * Fix STM32F3xx ADC mux table in documentation The ADC driver documentation had some errors in the mux table for STM32F3xx. Fix this table to match the datasheet and the actual code (mux settings for B12 and B13 were also tested on a real STM32F303CCT6 chip). * Add STM32F1xx ADC pins to the documentation * Add STM32F4xx ADC pins to the documentation * Add initial support for tinyuf2 bootloader (when hosted on F411 blackpill) (#12600) * Add support for jumping to tinyuf2 bootloader. Adds blackpill UF2 example. * Update flashing.md * Update chconf.h * Update config.h * Update halconf.h * Update mcuconf.h * eeprom driver: Refactor where eeprom driver initialisation (and EEPROM emulation initialisation) occurs to make it non-target-specific. (#12671) * Add support for MCU = STM32F446 (#12619) * Add support for MCU = STM32F446 * Update platforms/chibios/GENERIC_STM32_F446XE/configs/config.h * Restore mcuconf.h to the one used by RT-STM32F446RE-NUCLEO64 * stm32f446: update mcuconf.h and board.h for 16MHz operation, with USB enabled, and other peripherals disabled. * Format code according to conventions (#12682) * Format code according to conventions (#12687) * Add STM32L433 and L443 support (#12063) * initial L433 commit * change to XC * fix L433 * disable all peripherals * update system and peripheral clocks * 433 change * use its own board files * revert its own board files * l433 specific change * fix stm32l432xx define * remove duplicate #define * fix bootloader jump * move to L443xx and add i2c2, spi2, usart3 to mcuconf.h * move to L443 * move to L443 * fix sdmmc in mcuconf.h * include STM32L443 * add L443 * Include L443 in compatible microcontrollers * Include L443 in compatible microcontrollers * Update config bootloader jump description * Update ChibiOS define reasoning * Update quantum/mcu_selection.mk * fix git conflict * Updated Function96 with V2 files and removed chconf.h and halconf.h (#12613) * Fix bad PR merge for #6580.

To remove the stress this situation produces to your hands, you can disable the timeout just for the leader key. Add the following to your `config.h`:

```c
#define LEADER_NO_TIMEOUT
```
Now, after you hit the leader key, you will have an infinite amount of time to start the rest of the sequence, allowing you to properly position your hands to type the rest of the sequence comfortably. This way you can configure a very short `LEADER_TIMEOUT`, but still have plenty of time to position your hands.
### Strict Key Processing :id=strict-key-processing
By default, only the "tap keycode" portions of [Mod-Taps](mod_tap.md) and [Layer Taps](feature_layers.md#switching-and-toggling-layers) are added to the sequence buffer. This means if you press eg. `LT(3, KC_A)` as part of a sequence, `KC_A` will be added to the buffer, rather than the entire `LT(3, KC_A)` keycode.
This gives a more expected behaviour for most users, however you may want to change this.
To enable this, add the following to your `config.h`:
```c
#define LEADER_KEY_STRICT_KEY_PROCESSING
```
## Example :id=example
This example will play the Mario "One Up" sound when you hit `QK_LEAD` to start the leader sequence. When the sequence ends, it will play "All Star" if it completes successfully or "Rick Roll" you if it fails (in other words, no sequence matched).
```c
#ifdef AUDIO_ENABLE
float leader_start_song[][2] = SONG(ONE_UP_SOUND);
float leader_succeed_song[][2] = SONG(ALL_STAR);
float leader_fail_song[][2] = SONG(RICK_ROLL);
#endif
2022-12-14 02:46:01 +00:00
void leader_start_user(void) {
#ifdef AUDIO_ENABLE
PLAY_SONG(leader_start_song);
#endif
}
2022-12-14 02:46:01 +00:00
void leader_end_user(void) {
bool did_leader_succeed = false;
if (leader_sequence_one_key(KC_E)) {
SEND_STRING(SS_LCTL(SS_LSFT("t")));
did_leader_succeed = true;
} else if (leader_sequence_two_keys(KC_E, KC_D)) {
SEND_STRING(SS_LGUI("r") "cmd\n" SS_LCTL("c"));
did_leader_succeed = true;
}
#ifdef AUDIO_ENABLE
if (did_leader_succeed) {
PLAY_SONG(leader_succeed_song);
} else {
PLAY_SONG(leader_fail_song);
}
#endif
}
```
