How would one go into flash mode to change firmware?

How would one go into flash mode to change firmware?

Two methods that i've discovered:

1. Double-press the switch button (top of rotary encoder, if you've got this soldered)
2. Hold down rotary encoder pushbutton while plugging in to enter bootloader (according to config.h)

If you're simply looking to flash, you only have to press the reset button once. This resets the Arduino and will temporarily enter the bootloader during the normal boot sequence - if your computer is currently attempting to flash the board, it will detect this and flashing will begin. Double pressing the reset button will enter the bootloader for 8 seconds.

These methods will work if you've already flashed the Arduino with QMK once:

• add RESET keycode to your keymap - this will also force it to enter the bootloader for 8 seconds
• hold down rotary encoder button while plugging in USB cable (or hit reset button once) to enter bootloader
