This makes adding tap/hold mods, or other special keycodes or functions to all keyboards super easy, as it's done to all of them at once.
-The caveat here is that the keymap needs a processor/wrapper, as it doesn't like the substitutions. However, this is as simple as just pushing it through a define. For instance:

-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.
-
+Then, if you run `make keyboard:name NO_SECRETS=yes`, it will default to the test strings in your `<name>.c` file, rather than reading from your file.
