+
+
+
+Build Firmware and Program Controller
+-------------------------------------
+See [doc/build.md](doc/build.md), or the README in the particular keyboard/* folder.
+
+
+
+Change your keymap
+------------------
+See [doc/keymap.md](doc/keymap.md).
+
+
+
+Magic Commands
+--------------
+To see help press `Magic` + `H`.
+
+`Magic` key combination is `LShift` + `RShift` in many project, but `Power` key on ADB converter.
+`Magic` keybind can be vary on each project, check `config.h` in project directory.
+
+Following commands can be also executed with `Magic` + key. In console mode `Magic` keybind is not needed.
+
+ ----- Command Help -----
+ c: enter console mode
+ d: toggle debug enable
+ x: toggle matrix debug
+ k: toggle keyboard debug
+ m: toggle mouse debug
+ v: print device version & info
+ t: print timer count
+ s: print status
+ e: print eeprom config
+ n: toggle NKRO
+ 0/F10: switch to Layer0
+ 1/F1: switch to Layer1
+ 2/F2: switch to Layer2
+ 3/F3: switch to Layer3
+ 4/F4: switch to Layer4
+ PScr: power down/remote wake-up
+ Caps: Lock Keyboard(Child Proof)
+ Paus: jump to bootloader
+
+
+
+Boot Magic Configuration - Virtual DIP Switch
+---------------------------------------------
+Boot Magic are executed during boot up time. Press Magic key below then plug in keyboard cable.
+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.
+
+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).
+
+#### General
+- Skip reading EEPROM to start with default configuration(`ESC`)
+- Clear configuration stored in EEPROM to reset configuration(`Backspace`)
+
+#### Bootloader
+- Kick up Bootloader(`B`)
+
+#### Debug
+- Debug enable(`D`)
+- Debug matrix enable(`D`+`X`)
+- Debug keyboard enable(`D`+`K`)
+- Debug mouse enable(`D`+`M`)
+
+#### Keymap
+- Swap Control and CapsLock(`Left Control`)
+- Change CapsLock to Control(`Caps Lock`)
+- Swap LeftAlt and Gui(`Left Alt`)
+- Swap RightAlt and Gui(`Right Alt`)
+- Disable Gui(`Left Gui`)
+- Swap Grave and Escape(`Grave`)
+- Swap BackSlash and BackSpace(`Back Slash`)
+- Enable NKRO on boot(`N`)
+
+#### Default Layer
+- Set Default Layer to 0(`0`)
+- Set Default Layer to 1(`1`)
+- Set Default Layer to 2(`2`)
+- Set Default Layer to 3(`3`)
+- Set Default Layer to 4(`4`)
+- Set Default Layer to 5(`5`)
+- Set Default Layer to 6(`6`)
+- Set Default Layer to 7(`7`)
+
+
+
+Mechanical Locking support
+--------------------------
+This feature makes it possible for you to use mechanical locking switch for `CapsLock`, `NumLock`
+or `ScrollLock`. To enable this feature define these macros in `config.h` and use `KC_LCAP`, `KC_LN
+UM` or `KC_LSCR` in keymap for locking key instead of normal `KC_CAPS`, `KC_NLCK` or `KC_SLCK`. Res
+ync option tries to keep switch state consistent with keyboard LED state.
+
+ #define LOCKING_SUPPORT_ENABLE
+ #define LOCKING_RESYNC_ENABLE
+
+
+
+Start Your Own Project
+-----------------------
+**TBD**
+
+
+
+Debugging
+--------
+Use PJRC's `hid_listen` to see debug messages. You can use the tool for debug even if firmware use LUFA stack.
+
+You can use xprintf() to display debug info on `hid_listen`, see `tmk_core/common/xprintf.h`.
