For boards that may not have a shift button (such as on a macro pad), we need a way to always include the bootloader option. To do that, add the following to the `rules.mk` in your userspace folder:
```make
ifeq ($(strip $(FLASH_BOOTLOADER)), yes)
OPT_DEFS += -DFLASH_BOOTLOADER
endif
```
This will add a new `KC_MAKE` keycode that can be used in any of your keymaps. And this keycode will output `make <keyboard>:<keymap>`, making frequent compiling easier. And this will work with any keyboard and any keymap as it will output the current boards info, so that you don't have to type this out every time.
Additionally, this should flash the newly compiled firmware automatically, using the correct utility, based on the bootloader settings (or default to just generating the HEX file). However, it should be noted that this may not work on all systems. AVRDUDE doesn't work on WSL, namely (and will dump the HEX in the ".build" folder instead).
Also, holding `shift` will add the appropriate flashing command (`:dfu`, `:teensy`, `:avrdude`, `:dfu-util`) for a majority of keyboards. Holding `control` will add some commands that will speed up compiling time by processing multiple files at once.
And for the boards that lack a shift key, or that you want to always attempt the flashing part, you can add `FLASH_BOOTLOADER = yes` to the `rules.mk` of that keymap.
