Power key doesn't work
Use KC_PWR instead of KC_POWER or vice versa.
KC_PWRworks with Windows and Linux, not with OSX.KC_POWERworks with OSX and Linux, not with Windows.

Oneshot modifier
Solves my personal 'the' problem. I often got 'the' or 'THe' wrongly instead of 'The'. Oneshot Shift mitgates this for me. https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/67
Modifier/Layer stuck
Modifier keys or layers can be stuck unless layer switching is configured properly.
For Modifier keys and layer actions you have to place KC_TRANS on same position of destination layer to unregister the modifier key or return to previous layer on release event.

Mechanical Lock Switch Support
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard#mechanical-locking-support
This feature is for mechanical lock switch like this Alps one. http://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCL_Lock
Using enabling this feature and using keycodes LCAP, LNUM or LSCR in keymap you can use physical locking CapsLock, NumLock or ScrollLock keys as you expected.
Old vintage mechanical keyboards occasionally have lock switches but modern ones don't have. You don't need this feature in most case and just use keycodes CAPS, NLCK and SLCK.
Input language specific charactors other than ASCII like Cédille 'Ç'
NO UNIVERSAL METHOD TO INPUT THOSE WORKS OVER ALL SYSTEMS. You have to define MACRO in way specific to your OS or layout.
See this post for example MACRO code.

On Windows you can use AltGr key or Alt code.
On Mac OS defines Option key combinations.
On Xorg you can use compose key, instead.
And see this for Unicode input.
