# Custom Userspace Function handlers
Specifically QMK works by using customized handlers for everything. This allows for multiple levels of customization.
`matrix_scan` calls `matrix_scan_quantum`, which calls `matrix_scan_kb`, which calls `matrix_scan_user`.
`process_record` calls a bunch of stuff, but eventually calls `process_record_kb` which calls `process_record_user`
The same goes for `matrix_init`, `layer_state_set`, `led_set`, and a few other functions.
All (most) `_user` functions are handled here, in the userspace instead. To allow keyboard specific configuration, I've created `_keymap` functions that can be called by the keymap.c files instead.
This allows for keyboard specific configuration while maintaining the ability to customize the board.
My [Ergodox EZ Keymap](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/layouts/community/ergodox/drashna/keymap.c) is a good example of this, as it uses the LEDs as modifier indicators.
But for a list:
```c

matrix_init_keymap();
}

void keyboard_post_init_user(void){
keyboard_post_init_keymap();
}
__attribute__ ((weak))
void matrix_scan_keymap(void) {}
void matrix_scan_user(void) {
matrix_scan_keymap();
}
__attribute__ ((weak))
bool process_record_keymap(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) {
return true;
}
bool process_record_user(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) {
return process_record_keymap(keycode, record);
}
__attribute__ ((weak))

return state;
}
layer_state_t layer_state_set_user (layer_state_t state) {

}
