# Grave Escape
|
|
|
|
If you're using a 60% keyboard, or any other layout with no F-row, you will have noticed that there is no dedicated Escape key. Grave Escape is a feature that allows you to share the grave key (<code>`</code> and `~`) with Escape.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Replace the `KC_GRAVE` key in your keymap (usually to the left of the `1` key) with `KC_GESC`. When pressed it will behave like `KC_ESC`, but with Shift or GUI held it will send `KC_GRAVE`.

## Keycodes
|
|
|
|
|Key |Aliases |Description |
|
|
|---------|-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
|`KC_GESC`|`GRAVE_ESC`|Escape when pressed, <code>`</code> when Shift or GUI are held|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
There are several possible key combinations this will break, among them Control+Shift+Escape on Windows and Command+Option+Escape on macOS. To work around this, you can `#define` these options in your `config.h`:
