+Custom handlers
+---------------
+
+All (most) `_user` functions are handled here instead. To allow keyboard specific configuration, I've created `_keymap` functions that can be called by the keymap.c files instead.
+
+This allows for keyboard specific configuration while maintaining the ability to customize the board.
+
+My Ergodox EZ Keymap is a good example of this, as it uses the LEDs as modifier indicators.
+
+Custom Keycodes
+---------------
+
+Keycods are defined in the drashna.h file and need to be included in the keymap.c files, so that they can be used there.
+
+A bunch of macros are present and are only included on boards that are not the Ergodox EZ or Orthodox, as they are not needed for those boards.
+
+Included is a custom macro for compiling my keyboards. This includes the bootloader target (`:teensy`, `:avrdude`, or `:dfu`), and keeps RGBLIGHT, AUDIO and/or FAUXCLICKY enabled, if it previously was (regardless of the rules file).
+
+This also includes a modified RESET keycode as well, that sets the underglow to red.
+
+Layer Indication
+----------------
+
+This uses the `layer_state_set_*` command to change the layer color, to indicate which layer it is on. This includes the default keymap, as well.
+
+Since this is done via userspace, it is the same between all systems.
+
+Additionally, there is a custom keycode to toggle layer indication. And all RGB keycodes disable layer indication by default, as well. This way, I can leave special effects doing when I want.
+
+Also. I use `rgblight_sethsv` since it works with animation modes (that support it).
+
+
+Diablo Layer
+------------
+
+This layer has some special handling.
+
+When Tap Dances are enabled, this layer has the ability to "spam" keypresses.
+
+For instance, tapping the TD "1" twice causes the layer to hit "1" ever 1 second (appoximately). This is useful for auto-hotkeying skills (such as bone armor or devour).
+
+Tappind once disables this, and switching layers temporarily disables this, until you switch back to the layer.
+
+For critics that think this is cheating, search "diablo 3 num lock auto cast". This is just a simpler method, since I no longer own a normal (non QMK) numpad.
+
+Secret Macros
+-------------
+
+With help from gitter and Colinta, this adds the ability to add hidden strings to be used for macros.
+
+I have a number of long strings that I need to use that are semi-private. This uses the `__has_include` function to check for the file. If it exists, then it includes the custom text. Otherwise, it uses some default values.
+
+If you would *also* like to take advantage of this feature, you'll first want to make sure your "secrets" file isn't included in the repo. Open `.git/info/exclude` and add `secrets.h` to that file, below the comments.
+
+###### .git/info/exclude
+```
+# git ls-files --others --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude
+# Lines that start with '#' are comments.
+# For a project mostly in C, the following would be a good set of
+# exclude patterns (uncomment them if you want to use them):
+# *.[oa]
+# *~
+/users/drashna/secrets.h
+```
+
+Then you can create this file and add your macro strings to it:
+
+###### secrets.h
+```
+PROGMEM const char secret[][64] = {
+ "secret1",
+ "secret2",
+ "secret3",
+ "secret4",
+ "secret5"
+};
+```
+
+Replacing the strings with the codes that you need.
+
+
+These are called in the `process_record_user` function, using this block:
+```
+ case KC_SECRET_1 ... KC_SECRET_5:
+ if (!record->event.pressed) {
+ send_string_P(secret[keycode - KC_SECRET_1]);
+ }
+ return false;
+ break;
+```
+
+And this requires `KC_SECRET_1` through `KC_SECRET_5` to be defined, as well.
