How to work on hex file from keyboard maker?
- QMK MSYS: you'll need it for many things, for compiling your firmware file and for flashing, especially if flashing with QMK Toolbox isn't permitted in firmware settings (in this case QMK Toolbox just won't recognize your keyboard);

Wondering how remapping a keyboard "works".
You don't need the GUI though, you can write the simple code yourself, then using QMKMSYS you can compile these flat text files into firmware. Using the appropriate flashing software for ypur microcontroller, you then flash this firmware onto your keyboard.

How to use with GMMK Pro
First, install QMK MSYS from here. Once installation is finished, DO NOT DO "QMK SETUP". I will explain this later.

Mod tap for complete newbie
You don't really need to be able to program though. (Assuming you use Windows) QMK MSYS will help put all the QMK code on your PC and make it ready to make the firmware file, you will just specify which keyboard make & model you have, edit the file line that controls the timing behaviour, and your PC will build the firmware. Then the Toolkit GUI app will help you sync that onto the keyboard.

VIAL guide is not user friendly (awful) for beginners/newbies
a) Installed git for windows. (If you don't know how to use it - don't go this way. Just download qmk-vial as ZIP, extract in "C:\Users\URUsername\qmk_firmware\vial-qmk", install QMK MSYS. Run it from shortcut in installed folder, run "qmk setup -H C:\Users\URUsername\qmk_firmware\vial-qmk" and change directory "cd C:\Users\URUsername\qmk_firmware\vial-qmk" for next steps.) b) Had an error with gh, so installed cli. Cloned qmk-vial with github desktop in the end. c) Had an error with "make", so installed it and cloned submodules. d) Still had an error with "make" when compiling fw "No rule to make target".

GMMK Pro QMK worse performance than stock
You could try my QMK firmware. It has 5ms debounce which seems to be good for the vast majority of keybs, but you can always set it higher if you're getting a lot of double inputs...

Can a GMMK Pro perform AutoCorrect directly in the firmware?
Why yes, yes it can... using a 400 word English typo dictionary not to mention a built-in paddle game, a toggle menu that prints out firmware settings to a text editor, mouse control on the keyboard, 24 persistent RGB backlighting effect modes, an overlay numpad, n-key rollover (NKRO), 5ms debounce with 1000ms polling, Win-key lockout for gaming, support for ANSI and ISO layouts and much more...

Is it possible to toggle a QMK tapdance post-compile via a user config setting?
I'm working on a layout (https://github.com/gourdo1/qmk_firmware/tree/toggles/keyboards/gmmk/pro/rev1/ansi/keymaps/gourdo1) which I am hoping will feature persistent, user-configurable (post compile-time) toggles for certain features.

Can anyone tell me why my basic custom keycode definitions don't work?
I have a somewhat more complex setup where there's a gourdo.h file (where my #define's are located) being referenced from my keymap.c, but otherwise, I think I'm doing the exact same thing. Nevertheless, the keycodes don't work when I flash my firmware and I can't figure out what difference is. The problem remains even when I try moving the #define statements to keymap.c itself.
