Remove Full Bootmagic (#13846)
* disambiguate Bootmagic rules in keymaps The files edited by this commit were added at a point in time where `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = yes` enabled full Bootmagic. This commit edits the files to specify that full Bootmagic is intended. * remove BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE=full setting * unify commented BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE rules in keyboards Explicitly sets `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = no` in keyboards where the rule was commented out. Command: ``` find keyboards/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -and -not -path '*/keymaps/*' -exec sed -i -e 's;#[ \t]*\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE\)[ \t=]\+\([a-zA-Z]\+\).*;\1 = no # Virtual DIP switch configuration;g' {} + ``` * remove commented Bootmagic rules from keymap/user level Command: ``` find keyboards/ layouts/ users/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -exec sed -i -e '/#.*\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE\)[ \t=]\+\([a-z]\+\).*/d' {} + ``` * update keyboard BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE rule formatting Sets the formatting of BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE rules to `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = [value]`, without the inline comments (which will be replaced later). Command: ``` find keyboards/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -and -not -path '*/keymaps/*' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE\)[ \t=]\+\([a-z]\+\).*;\1 = \2;g' '{}' + ``` * update keyboards' BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE settings Updates keyboard `rules.mk` files to use `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = lite` where `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = full` was being used.

Commands: ``` find keyboards/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -and -path '*/keymaps/*' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE[ \t=]\+\)full;\1lite;g' '{}' + find layouts/community/ users/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE[ \t=]\+\)full;\1lite;g' '{}' + ``` * remove and replace inline comments in keyboards and keymap/user files Removes and replaces the inline comments, which have been updated to read `Enable Bootmagic Lite`.

This commit corrects the filenames of the affected files. * update renamed file with new rule formatting * update QMK's template files Updates QMK's `rules.mk` templates to use the new inline comment. * update QMK Docs - remove documentation of full Bootmagic - update links to Bootmagic Lite doc - add doc for Magic Keycodes * rules.mk patch for coarse/ixora and coarse/vinta

## Installation
-Put your keyboard into bootloader mode, either by hitting the `RESET` keycode (which may be on a different layer), or by pressing the reset switch that's usually located on the underside of the board. If your keyboard has neither, try holding Escape or Space+`B` as you plug it in (see the [Bootmagic](feature_bootmagic.md) docs for more details). Some boards use [Command](feature_command.md) instead of Bootmagic; in this case, you can enter bootloader mode by hitting Left Shift+Right Shift+`B` or Left Shift+Right Shift+Escape at any point while the keyboard is plugged in.
-Some keyboards may have specific instructions for entering the bootloader. For example, the [Bootmagic Lite](feature_bootmagic.md#bootmagic-lite) key (default: Escape) might be on a different key, e.g. Left Control; or the magic combination for Command (default: Left Shift+Right Shift) might require you to hold something else, e.g. Left Control+Right Control.

To put a device in bootloader mode with USBaspLoader, tap the `RESET` button while holding down the `BOOT` button.
Alternatively, hold `BOOT` while inserting the USB cable.

-# Bootmagic
-
-There are three separate but related features that allow you to change the behavior of your keyboard without reflashing. While each of them have similar functionality, it is accessed in different ways depending on how your keyboard is configured.
-
-**Bootmagic** is a system for configuring your keyboard while it initializes. To trigger a Bootmagic command, hold down the Bootmagic key and one or more command keys.
-
-**Bootmagic Keycodes** are prefixed with `MAGIC_`, and allow you to access the Bootmagic functionality *after* your keyboard has initialized. To use the keycodes, assign them to your keymap as you would any other keycode.
-
-**Command**, formerly known as **Magic**, is another feature that allows you to control different aspects of your keyboard. While it shares some functionality with Bootmagic, it also allows you to do things that Bootmagic does not, such as printing version information to the console. For more information, see [Command](feature_command.md).
-
-On some keyboards Bootmagic is disabled by default. If this is the case, it must be explicitly enabled in your `rules.mk` with:
-
-```make
-BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = full
-```
-
-?> You may see `yes` being used in place of `full`, and this is okay. However, `yes` is deprecated, and ideally `full` (or `lite`) should be used instead.
-
-Additionally, you can use [Bootmagic Lite](#bootmagic-lite) (a scaled down, very basic version of Bootmagic) by adding the following to your `rules.mk` file:
-
-```make
-BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = lite
-```
-
-## Hotkeys
-
-Hold down the Bootmagic key (Space by default) and the desired hotkey while plugging in your keyboard. For example, holding Space+`B` should cause it to enter the bootloader.

By far the most common problem new users encounter is accidentally triggering Bootmagic while they're plugging in their keyboard. They're holding the keyboard by the bottom, unknowingly pressing in alt and spacebar, and then they find that these keys have been swapped on them. We recommend leaving this feature disabled by default, but if you do turn it on consider setting `BOOTMAGIC_KEY_SALT` to a key that is hard to press while plugging your keyboard in.
