Enhancement: add action codes that can trigger programmable chords #73

This will enable a user to map a key to a chord output so they can use chord macros. For example, if you wanted to map a key to "Ctrl Backspace" you would program a chord map to that then remap a key to a special action code setup for that chord map.

We could target 12 to start, but ensure that we have space for 24 in that space in action codes

Likely this is the easier way to solve https://github.com/CharaChorder/CCOS-firmware/issues/60

I don't know if it's because I'm some sort of power user but I can see 24 not being enough too

Thanks, this is helpful feedback. It's possible we can design a way to do this that is not limited on how many you can do, but it would maybe be a larger rewrite of how CCOS works internally. We will keep it in mind

Worth knowing too I've found this functionality makes layers a hell of a lot more useful and versatile. For example if you've found your command/ctrl (depending on OS) key is unusable to do a copy shortcut, say you can't reach "c" when holding command/ctrl, you can just map command/ctrl+c key on another layer and still have a similar experience without having to think your whole layout again.
