This page describes the Kconfig and Devicetree file formats and how to change settings in them. See the other pages in the configuration section for a list of settings you can change.

The list of available settings is determined by various files in ZMK whose names start with `Kconfig`. Note that options are _not_ prefixed with `CONFIG_` in these files.

Devicetree properties apply to specific nodes in the tree instead of globally. The properties that can be set for each node are determined by `.yaml` files in ZMK in the various `dts/bindings` folders.

The `compatible` property indicates what type of node it is. Search this documentation for the text inside the quotes to see which properties the node
supports. You can also search ZMK for a file whose name is the value of the `compatible` property with a `.yaml` file extension.
To set a property, see below for examples for common property types, or see [Zephyr's Devicetree documentation](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/dts/intro.html#writing-property-values) for more details on the syntax for properties.

To change a property for an existing node, first find the node you want to change and find its label. Next, outside of any other node, write an ampersand (`&`)
followed by the node's label, an opening curly brace (`{`), one or more new property values, a closing curly brace (`}`), and a semicolon (`;`).

```devicetree
&kscan0 {
debounce-period = <7>;

If the node you want to edit doesn't have a label, you can also write a new tree and it will be merged with the existing tree, overriding any properties. Adding this to your keymap would be equivalent to the previous example.
```devicetree
/ {
kscan {
debounce-press-ms = <0>;
};
};
```
### Devicetree Property Types
These are some of the property types you will see most often when working with ZMK. [Zephyr's Devicetree bindings documentation](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/dts/bindings.html) provides more detailed information and a full list of types.

#### GPIO array
This is just a phandle array. The documentation lists this as a different type to make it clear which properties expect an array of GPIOs.
Each item in the array should be a label for a GPIO node (the names of which differ between hardware platforms) followed by an index and configuration flags. See [Zephyr's GPIO documentation](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/reference/peripherals/gpio.html) for a full list of flags.
