### 2.3 Macro action
-***TBD***
+`Macro` actions allow you to register a complex sequence of keystrokes when a key is pressed, where macros are simple sequences of keypresses.
+
+ ACTION_MACRO(id)
+ ACTION_MACRO_TAP(id)
+
+`id` is an 8-bit user-defined value the macro getter function can use to pick the specific macro.
+
+
+#### 2.3.1 Implementing Macro getter function
+To implement `macro` functions, the macro lookup list must be implemented:
+
+ const macro_t *action_get_macro(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt);
+
+The function must always return a valid macro, and default implementation of `action_get_macro` always returns `MACRO_NONE` which has no effect.
+
+#### 2.3.1.1 Limitations
+Similar to the Function Action system, the selector functions is passed a `keyrecord_t` object, so it can inspect the key state (e.g. different macros on key press or release), and key itself.
+
+Unlike the Function Action system,`macros` are pre-recorded key sequences, so you can only select from a list. If you want to use dynamic macros then you should look at the more complex function action system.
-`Macro` action indicates complex key strokes.

- MACRO( D(LSHIFT), D(D), END )
- MACRO( U(D), U(LSHIFT), END )
- MACRO( I(255), T(H), T(E), T(L), T(L), W(255), T(O), END )
+#### 2.3.2 Implementing/Defining Macro sequences
+Macros are of the form (must be wrapped by the `MACRO` function, and end with an `END` mark)
-#### 2.3.1 Macro Commands
-- **MACRO()**
-- **MACRO_NONE**
+ MACRO( ..., END )
+
+Within each macro, the following commands can be used:
- **I()** change interval of stroke.
- **D()** press key
- **SM()** store modifier state
- **RM()** restore modifier state
- **CM()** clear modifier state
-- **END** end mark
+
+e.g.:
+
+ MACRO( D(LSHIFT), D(D), END ) // hold down LSHIFT and D - will print 'D'
+ MACRO( U(D), U(LSHIFT), END ) // release U and LSHIFT keys (an event.pressed == False counterpart for the one above)
+ MACRO( I(255), T(H), T(E), T(L), T(L), W(255), T(O), END ) // slowly print out h-e-l-l---o
#### 2.3.2 Examples
-***TBD***
+
+in keymap.c, define `action_get_macro`
const macro_t *action_get_macro(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt)
{
switch (id) {
- case HELLO:
+ case 0:
return (record->event.pressed ?
MACRO( I(0), T(H), T(E), T(L), T(L), W(255), T(O), END ) :
MACRO_NONE );
- case ALT_TAB:
+ case 1:
return (record->event.pressed ?
MACRO( D(LALT), D(TAB), END ) :
MACRO( U(TAB), END ));
return MACRO_NONE;
}
-
+in keymap.c, bind items in `fn_actions` to the macro function
+
+ const action_t PROGMEM fn_actions[] = {
+ [0] = ACTION_MACRO(0), // will print 'hello' for example
+ [1] = ACTION_MACRO(1),
+ };
