## The New Way: `SEND_STRING()` & `process_record_user`
-Sometimes you just want a key to type out words or phrases. For the most common situations we've provided `SEND_STRING()`, which will type out your string (i.e. a sequence of characters) for you. All ASCII characters that are easily translated to a keycode are supported (e.g. `\n\t`).
+Sometimes you want a key to type out words or phrases. For the most common situations, we've provided `SEND_STRING()`, which will type out a string (i.e. a sequence of characters) for you. All ASCII characters that are easily translatable to a keycode are supported (e.g. `qmk 123\n\t`).
Here is an example `keymap.c` for a two-key keyboard:
```c
enum custom_keycodes {
- QMKBEST = SAFE_RANGE,
+ QMKBEST = SAFE_RANGE,
};
bool process_record_user(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) {
- switch (keycode) {

case QMKBEST:
- if (record->event.pressed) {
- // when keycode QMKBEST is pressed
- SEND_STRING("QMK is the best thing ever!");
- } else {
- // when keycode QMKBEST is released
- }
- break;

- }
- return true;
+ if (record->event.pressed) {
+ // when keycode QMKBEST is pressed
+ SEND_STRING("QMK is the best thing ever!");
