[Bug] Flashing new firmware does nothing about qmk_firmware HOT 4 CLOSED

what is UNDERSCORE and INVERSE_QUOTE intend to do? I test the keymap with key tester, tapping UNDERSCORE registered left shift and minus, then unregistered minus, keeped left shift being pressed.

from qmk_firmware.

UNDERSCORE is suposed to type _ without pressing shift and INVERSE_QUOTE is suposed to invert the quote key - " without shift and ' with shift. The shift beeing pressed after unregistering minus is a different issue I have (shift doesn't get unregistered even though there is code to do that). The issue of flashing firmware not applying changes was happening even without these custom keycodes.

This can be caused by the Via keymap overriding the QMK keymap. That is, if you save the Via configuration before the flashing and restore it afterwards (presuming there is anything worth keeping). The Via key mappings overrides the QMK key mappings.

Fix: Do the same change in the Via configuration (key mapping) as in the QMK key map. (Yes, this is a maintenance problem. Any change to the QMK key map proper must be applied in two places.)

Clearing the (emulated) EEPROM memory AKA resetting to factory defaults (where the Via configuration is stored) is normally part of the flashing process, but if it isn't then resetting to factory defaults will get the QMK key mappings into the Via key mappings.

Setting VIA_ENABLE = no in my rules.mk seems to have fixed the issue. I had it enabled because when I first got this keyborad I tried using the via app but it didn't even recognize the Q1 pro, so I switched to qmk. Thanks for your help.
