## Adding Leader Key Support
To add support for Leader Key you simply need to add a single line to your keymap's `rules.mk`:
To enable Leader Key, add the following line to your keymap's `rules.mk`:
```make
LEADER_ENABLE = yes
```

```c
LEADER_EXTERNS();
```

## Per Key Timing on Leader keys

Rather than relying on an incredibly high timeout for long leader key strings or those of us without 200wpm typing skills, we can enable per key timing to ensure that each key pressed provides us with more time to finish our stroke.
