# Keycodes Overview
When defining a [keymap](keymap.md) each key needs a valid key definition. This page documents the symbols that correspond to keycodes that are available to you in QMK.
This is a reference only. Each group of keys links to the page documenting their functionality in more detail.

* @brief Mailboxes code.
*
* @addtogroup mailboxes
* @details Asynchronous messages.
* <h2>Operation mode</h2>
* A mailbox is an asynchronous communication mechanism.<br>
* Operations defined for mailboxes:
* - <b>Post</b>: Posts a message on the mailbox in FIFO order.
* - <b>Post Ahead</b>: Posts a message on the mailbox with urgent
* priority.
* - <b>Fetch</b>: A message is fetched from the mailbox and removed
* from the queue.
* - <b>Reset</b>: The mailbox is emptied and all the stored messages
* are lost.
* .
* A message is a variable of type msg_t that is guaranteed to have
* the same size of and be compatible with (data) pointers (anyway an
* explicit cast is needed).
* If larger messages need to be exchanged then a pointer to a
* structure can be posted in the mailbox but the posting side has
* no predefined way to know when the message has been processed. A
* possible approach is to allocate memory (from a memory pool for
* example) from the posting side and free it on the fetching side.
* Another approach is to set a "done" flag into the structure pointed
* by the message.
* @pre In order to use the mailboxes APIs the @p CH_CFG_USE_MAILBOXES
* option must be enabled in @p chconf.h.
* @note Compatible with RT and NIL.
