This borrows from @jola5's "Not quite neo" code. This allows me to maintain blocks of keymaps in the userspace, so that I can modify the userspace, and this is reflected in all of the keyboards that use it, at once.

And then, in the `process_record_user` function, assuming you have `return process_record_keymap(keycode, record)` here, you'll want to replace the "final" return with the following. Otherwise, you want to replace the `return true;` with `return process_record_secrets(keycode, record);`

### rules.mk

Here, you want your `/users/<name>/rules.mk` file to "detect" the existence of the `secrets.c` file, and only add it if the file exists. To do so, add this block:
|
||||
```c

|
||||
```make
|
||||
ifneq ("$(wildcard $(USER_PATH)/secrets.c)","")
|
||||
SRC += secrets.c
|
||||
endif
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, if you want to make sure that you can disable the function without messing with the file, you need to add this to your `/users/<name>/rules.mk`, so that it catches the flag:
|
||||
```c
|
||||
|
||||
```make
|
||||
ifeq ($(strip $(NO_SECRETS)), yes)

OPT_DEFS += -DNO_SECRETS

Userspace EEPROM config
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This adds EEPROM support fo the userspace, so that certain values are configurable in such a way that persists when power is lost. Namely, just the clicky feature and the Overwatch macro option ("is_overwatch"). This is done by reading and saving the structure from EEPROM.
|
||||
|
||||
To implement this, first you need to specify the location:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
#define EECONFIG_USERSPACE (uint8_t *)20
|
||||
```
|
||||
This tells us where in the EEPROM that the data structure is located, and this specifies that it's a byte (8 bits). However, to maximize it's usage, we want to specify a data structure here, so that we can use multiple settings. To do that:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
typedef union {
|
||||
uint8_t raw;
|
||||
struct {
|
||||
bool clicky_enable :1;
|
||||
bool is_overwatch :1;
|
||||
};
|
||||
} userspace_config_t;
|
||||
```
|
||||
Then, in your C file, you want to add: `userspace_config_t userspace_config;`, and in your `matrix_init_*` function, you want to add `userspace_config.raw = eeprom_read_byte(EECONFIG_USERSPACE);`
|
||||
|
||||
From there, you'd want to use the data structure (such as `userspace_config.is_overwatch`) when you want to check this value.
|
||||
|
||||
And if you want to update it, update directly and then use `eeprom_update_byte(EECONFIG_USERSPACE, userspace_config.raw);` to write the value back to the EEPROM.
