To fit the macro in, either make the other macro shorter (they share the same buffer) or increase the buffer size by setting the `DYNAMIC_MACRO_SIZE` preprocessor macro (default value: 128; please read the comments for it in the header). For the details about the internals of the dynamic macros, please read the comments in the `dynamic_macro.h` header. + +# Sending strings +Some people want to have a password or some text on a key. This is possible without having to do every key individually using `SEND_STRING("<text>");`. Note the caps, because `send_string("<text>");` does something else. For example: +```c +const macro_t *action_get_macro(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt) // this is the function signature -- just copy/paste it into your keymap file as it is. +{ + switch(id) { + case 0: // this would trigger when you hit a key mapped as M(0) + if (record->event.pressed) { + SEND_STRING("QMK is the best thing ever!"); // This would type "QMK is the best thing ever!" (without quotation marks). + return false; // This is false because it has to return something. + } + break; + } + return MACRO_NONE; +}; +``` +If you'd want it to press enter as well, just replace `return false;` with `return MACRO( T(ENT), END );`. |
