RESET vs QK_BOOT?

[mcp292]

There seems to be two documented ways to put the keyboard in bootloader mode:

1. RESET.
2. QK_BOOT.

Which is best practice and what are the differences?

Similarly, EEP_RST vs EE_CLR?

[KarlK90]

QK_BOOT or QK_BOOTLOADER is the recommended way. Same is true for EE_CLR.

Thank you. Is this documented somewhere that I missed?

The PR introducing these changes is the best I can find. #15968

Ah, okay thanks!

@fauxpark based on my experience with these changes, do you think it worthwhile to document these bindings as the new standard and remove the keycodes they replace in the documentation with a note.

[fauxpark]

Not sure how I missed those in the above PR... I know all the existing keymaps, as well as Configurator, also need to be updated to recognise these new names.

Okay great!
