   Yes, I thought that would be a way but I haven't found any mention   
   anywhere that something like that is supported. Partitioning probably   
   needs support from the flash itself too. Another way would be to store   
   them in RAM but I suppose a lot of these microcontrollers used on   
   keyboards are really limited on the amount of that. And they'd be   
   volatile then and RAM probably isn't accessible from USB directly so   
   that'd need some support at both ends of the USB cable. Then again, in   
   this day and age volatile storage has an appeal.   
      
   I kinda thought macros are a popular feature. My particular interest is   
   in putting wifi passwords into things that support a USB keyboard but   
   aren't really computers. I thought online gamers might use text macros   
   too since some keyboards have this macro feature but I guess gamers   
   mainly use voice.
