The make command itself also has some additional options, type `make --help` for more information. The most useful is probably `-jx`, which specifies that you want to compile using more than one CPU, the `x` represents the number of CPUs that you want to use. Setting that can greatly reduce the compile times, especially if you are compiling many keyboards/keymaps. I usually set it to one less than the number of CPUs that I have, so that I have some left for doing other things while it's compiling. Note that not all operating systems and make versions supports that option.

### Customizing Makefile options on a per-keymap basis
If your keymap directory has a file called `Makefile` (note the filename), any Makefile options you set in that file will take precedence over other Makefile options for your particular keyboard.

## Unicode support
-You can currently send 4 hex digits with your OS-specific modifier key (RALT for OSX with the "Unicode Hex Input" layout, see [this article](http://www.poynton.com/notes/misc/mac-unicode-hex-input.html) to learn more) - this is currently limited to supporting one OS at a time, and requires a recompile for switching. 8 digit hex codes are being worked on. The keycode function is `UC(n)`, where *n* is a 4 digit hexidecimal. Enable from the Makefile.
+There are three Unicode keymap definition method available in QMK:
+
+### UNICODE_ENABLE
+
+Supports Unicode input up to 0xFFFF. The keycode function is `UC(n)` in
+keymap file, where *n* is a 4 digit hexadecimal.
+
+### UNICODEMAP_ENABLE
+
+Supports Unicode up to 0xFFFFFFFF. You need to maintain a separate mapping
+table `const uint32_t PROGMEM unicode_map[] = {...}` in your keymap file.
+The keycode function is `X(n)` where *n* is the array index of the mapping
+table.
+
+### UCIS_ENABLE
+
+TBD
+
+Unicode input in QMK works by inputing a sequence of characters to the OS,
+sort of like macro. Unfortunately, each OS has different ideas on how Unicode is inputted.
+
+This is the current list of Unicode input method in QMK:
+
+* UC_OSX: MacOS Unicode Hex Input support. Works only up to 0xFFFF. Disabled by default. To enable: go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources, and enable Unicode Hex.
+* UC_LNX: Unicode input method under Linux. Works up to 0xFFFFF. Should work almost anywhere on ibus enabled distros. Without ibus, this works under GTK apps, but rarely anywhere else.
+* UC_WIN: (not recommended) Windows built-in Unicode input. To enable: create registry key under `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method\EnableHexNumpad` of type `REG_SZ` called `EnableHexNumpad`, set its value to 1, and reboot. This method is not recommended because of reliability and compatibility issue, use WinCompose method below instead.
+* UC_WINC: Windows Unicode input using WinCompose. Requires [WinCompose](https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose). Works reliably under many (all?) variations of Windows.

+## PS/2 Mouse Support
+
+Its possible to hook up a PS/2 mouse (for example touchpads or trackpoints) to your keyboard as a composite device.
+
+Then, decide whether to use USART (best), interrupts (better) or busywait (not recommended), and enable the relevant option.
+
+### Busywait version
+
+Note: This is not recommended, you may encounter jerky movement or unsent inputs. Please use interrupt or USART version if possible.
+
+In rules.mk:
+
+```
+PS2_MOUSE_ENABLE = yes
+PS2_USE_BUSYWAIT = yes
+```
+
+In your keyboard config.h:
+
+```
+#ifdef PS2_USE_BUSYWAIT
+# define PS2_CLOCK_PORT PORTD
+# define PS2_CLOCK_PIN PIND
+# define PS2_CLOCK_DDR DDRD
+# define PS2_CLOCK_BIT 1
+# define PS2_DATA_PORT PORTD
+# define PS2_DATA_PIN PIND
+# define PS2_DATA_DDR DDRD
+# define PS2_DATA_BIT 2
+#endif
+```
+
+### Interrupt version
+
+The following example uses D2 for clock and D5 for data. You can use any INT or PCINT pin for clock, and any pin for data.
+
+In rules.mk:
+
+```
+PS2_MOUSE_ENABLE = yes
+PS2_USE_INT = yes

+### USART version
+
+To use USART on the ATMega32u4, you have to use PD5 for clock and PD2 for data. If one of those are unavailable, you need to use interrupt version.

## Safety Considerations
You probably don't want to "brick" your keyboard, making it impossible
to rewrite firmware onto it. Here are some of the parameters to show
what things are (and likely aren't) too risky.

+- If your keyboard map does not include RESET, then, to get into DFU
mode, you will need to press the reset button on the PCB, which

+ requires unscrewing the bottom.
- Messing with tmk_core / common files might make the keyboard
inoperable
- Too large a .hex file is trouble; `make dfu` will erase the block,
test the size (oops, wrong order!), which errors out, failing to
- flash the keyboard
+ flash the keyboard, leaving it in DFU mode.
+ - To this end, note that the maximum .hex file size on Planck is

+```Linking: .build/planck_rev4_cbbrowne.elf [OK]
+Creating load file for Flash: .build/planck_rev4_cbbrowne.hex [OK]
+
+Size after:
+ text data bss dec hex filename
+ 0 22396 0 22396 577c planck_rev4_cbbrowne.hex
+```
+ - The above file is of size 22396/577ch, which is less than
+ 28672/7000h
+ - As long as you have a suitable alternative .hex file around, you
+ can retry, loading that one
+ - Some of the options you might specify in your keyboard's Makefile
+ consume extra memory; watch out for BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE,
+ MOUSEKEY_ENABLE, EXTRAKEY_ENABLE, CONSOLE_ENABLE, API_SYSEX_ENABLE
- DFU tools do /not/ allow you to write into the bootloader (unless
you throw in extra fruitsalad of options), so there is little risk
there.
