Create and assign custom functions to keys

[common-guid]

Is there currently any plan to add the ability to assign custom functions or macros to keys? Similar to something like AutoHotKey, but native to the launch firmware and configured through the configurator?

Example for context:
assign a key in the second layer to open a python repl in the terminal.

Is there any consideration for this type of functionality on the roadmap?

thank you,

QMK already supports macro functionality, but it is not yet exposed in the configurator. Progress on adding macro support (among other features) is being tracked in #146.

If you want to try tinkering with QMK firmware directly, we have flashing guides available here: https://github.com/system76/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/system76/launch_lite_1 (there is a README in each of the model directories one directory up from that directory, so be sure to get the guide for the model you have).
