# Key Lock
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes you may find yourself needing to hold down a specific key for a long period of time. Key Lock holds down the next key you press for you. Press it again, and it will be released.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say you need to type in ALL CAPS for a few sentences. Hit `KC_LOCK`, and then Shift. Now, Shift will be considered held until you tap it again. You can think of Key Lock as Caps Lock, but supercharged.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
First, enable Key Lock by setting `KEY_LOCK_ENABLE = yes` in your `rules.mk`. Then pick a key in your keymap and assign it the keycode `KC_LOCK`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Keycodes
|
||||
|
||||
|Keycode |Description |
|
||||
|---------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
|`KC_LOCK`|Hold down the next key pressed, until the key is pressed again|
|
||||
|
||||
## Caveats
|
||||
|
||||
Key Lock is only able to hold standard action keys and [One Shot modifier](one_shot_keys.md) keys (for example, if you have your Shift defined as `OSM(KC_LSFT)`).
|
||||
This does not include any of the QMK special functions (except One Shot modifiers), or shifted versions of keys such as `KC_LPRN`. If it's in the [Basic Keycodes](keycodes_basic.md) list, it can be held.
|
||||
|
||||
Switching layers will not cancel the Key Lock.
