4. Execution Ability and Challenge Spirit
We will illustrate using three custom keywords: uint16_t uint8_t FILE.
Configuration Method:
Edit -> Configuration -> User Keywords (or directly click the “Configuration” icon):
Now let’s look at the comparison of the effects of customizing these three keywords.
Effect Before Customization:
Effect After Customization:
This section can be used in conjunction with a previous article shared, along with the third section discussing Keil Themes to achieve the desired effect. For those who are particular about themes and font colors, you can try configuring it to see if it meets your requirements.
Similar to modifying the font in Keil, this configuration is a global setting, and the configuration file is located in the installation directory C:\Keil_v5\UV4 under the arm.prop file. After defining the three keywords above, the following configuration will be added (default has no custom data):
# C/C++ Editor files
# User keywords
keywords6.$(file.patterns.cpp)=uint16_t uint8_t FILE
For some frequently used operations, we try to use shortcut keys to complete them, aiming for quick operations while programming.
For example: when downloading a program, we are used to using Ctrl+D in IAR, but the default download shortcut key in Keil is not Ctrl+D. We can define our own shortcut keys, and the method is very simple:

Some friends may have noticed that my WeChat public account avatar has changed, yes, it was updated today. Here is a large image (the original design size is: 1024 x 1024):
What was your first reaction?
I believe most people’s reaction is: a turtle.
That’s right, my design is centered around a turtle.
This avatar has actually been designed for a while, and it comes from my personal original work.
Avatar: a turtle.
Meaning: A turtle can also surpass a rabbit; persistence leads to victory.
Tool Used: PS.
I pondered for a long time on how to design this avatar. The inspiration came from the “Five Rings” online. Initially, it wasn’t defined as a turtle, and I shared it in my friend circle; many people first thought it was a “turtle,” so I went along with it and ended up with the “turtle” design.
PS is what I learned in my first company after graduation; I can say I know the basic functions, while advanced features require careful study. Finally, I want to say: I finally used you.
Yesterday, a friend commented that my ability to accept new things is strong. To be honest, this ability is nothing compared to real experts or masters.
I have followed several “masters” public accounts, where others read tens of thousands of words daily and consistently read while also doing their own work. Most of the time, they output original articles continuously, and the content is meaningful, which can be said to help the audience. Including myself, both execution ability and challenge spirit have learned a lot from them.
I used to be poor in all aspects, and being around capable people gradually infected me, leading to improvements in various aspects. What I want to say is that following those so-called masters isn’t just about watching them do impressive things every day; it’s about personally practicing and taking action. In simple terms, it’s about enhancing your execution ability.
This chapter was written on my phone while accompanying my wife in the hospital for childbirth. My wife is resting now, and if all goes well, the baby should be born tomorrow, or perhaps even tonight; hopefully, it will be a smooth delivery.
My language skills are poor, mainly in writing skills and expression ability. I hope this soft article is a start, and I will write some useful soft articles intermittently in the future.
