It seems that a lot of people accidentally trigger bootmagic while plugging in their keyboards and then aren't sure how to fix it. I've been talking with @jackhumbert a bit about this, and it seems there are several factors at play here:\r\n\r\n* Bootmagic is poorly documented\r\n* Bootmagic is often enabled by default for unclear reasons, and maybe should be disabled by default\r\n* It's easy to accidentally trigger because by default you hold down space and another key (such as LCTRL or LGUI) while the keyboard boots to trigger it\r\n\r\nTo help with these situations we'd like to do the following:\r\n\r\n* Thoroughly document bootmagic usage (How to trigger it, how to configure it, etc.)\r\n* Document recommendations for bootmagic defaults targeted at keyboard maintaniers\r\n* Go through every keyboard and disable bootmagic. Individual keymaps will, of course, be able to enable it.\r\n* Change the trigger key (currently space) to a harder to hit key. The current favorite is \"M\", but if you have an argument as to what key will be both easy to remember and not easy to trigger while plugging in a keyboard please present it.\r\n\r\nGiven the scope of the change, and the potential change in behavior, we'd like to collect community feedback. Please share your thoughts on this issue and/or the proposed solutions. This issue will remain open for at least one week, until 2/19, or the discussion dies down if it continues that long."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/comments/365275955","html_url":"https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/2389#issuecomment-365275955","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/2389","id":365275955,"user":{"login":"lbibass","id":27320050,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/27320050?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/lbibass","html_url":"https://github.com/lbibass","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lbibass/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lbibass/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lbibass/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lbibass/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lbibass/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lbibass/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lbibass/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lbibass/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lbibass/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-02-13T14:05:28Z","updated_at":"2018-02-13T14:05:28Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"Yeah, bootmagic has saved my butt many times, especially with the DZ60 type-c.
