-## Programmable Button
+# Programmable Button :id=programmable-button
-Programmable button is a feature that can be used to send keys that have no
-predefined meaning.
-This means they can be processed on the host side by custom software without
-colliding without the operating system trying to interpret these keys.
+Programmable Buttons are keys that have no predefined meaning. This means they can be processed on the host side by custom software without the operating system trying to interpret them.
-The keycodes are emitted according to the HID usage
-"Telephony Device Page" (0x0B), "Programmable button usage" (0x07).
-On Linux (> 5.14) they are handled automatically and translated to `KEY_MACRO#`
-keycodes.
-(Up to `KEY_MACRO30`)
+The keycodes are emitted according to the HID Telephony Device page (`0x0B`), Programmable Button usage (`0x07`). On Linux (> 5.14) they are handled automatically and translated to `KEY_MACRO#` keycodes (up to `KEY_MACRO30`).
-### Enabling Programmable Button support
+?> Currently there is no known support in Windows or macOS. It may be possible to write a custom HID driver to receive these usages, but this is out of the scope of the QMK documentation.
-To enable Programmable Button, add the following line to your keymap’s `rules.mk`:
+## Usage :id=usage
-```c
+Add the following to your `rules.mk`:
+
+```make
PROGRAMMABLE_BUTTON_ENABLE = yes
```
-### Mapping
-
-In your keymap you can use the following keycodes to map key presses to Programmable Buttons:
