This will clear all keys besides the mods currently pressed.
## Advanced Example:
### Super ALT↯TAB
This macro will register `KC_LALT` and tap `KC_TAB`, then wait for 1000ms. If the key is tapped again, it will send another `KC_TAB`; if there is no tap, `KC_LALT` will be unregistered, thus allowing you to cycle through windows.
```c
bool is_alt_tab_active = false; # ADD this near the begining of keymap.c
uint16_t alt_tab_timer = 0; # we will be using them soon.
enum custom_keycodes { # Make sure have the awesome keycode ready
ALT_TAB = SAFE_RANGE,
};
bool process_record_user(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) {
switch (keycode) { # This will do most of the grunt work with the keycodes.
case ALT_TAB:
if (record->event.pressed) {
if (!is_alt_tab_active) {
is_alt_tab_active = true;
register_code(KC_LALT);
}
alt_tab_timer = timer_read();
register_code(KC_TAB);
} else {
unregister_code(KC_TAB);
}
break;
}
return true;

unregister_code16(LALT(KC_TAB));
