To use CharShift, we must first define `KeyPair` objects, which can then be
referenced by entries in the keymap. This is easiest to do by using the
`UNKEYS()` preprocessor macro in the sketch's `setup()` function, as follows:

These `KeyPair`s can be referred to in the sketch's keymap by using the `CS()`

## Adding CharShift keys in Chrysalis
As of this writing, CharShift keys can't be defined in Chrysalis; they can only
be defined in a custom sketch (see above). This doesn't mean that you can't use
them in Chrysalis-defined keymaps, however. To add a CharShift key in
Chrysalis, select `Custom key code`, and add the offset `53631` to the index number of the
CharShift key.
In other words, where you would use `CS(2)` in a Kaleidoscope sketch, you would
need to use `53633` (`53631 + 2`) as the custom key code in Chrysalis. Any
CharShift keys referenced in this way still need to be defined in a custom
Kaleidoscope sketch (see above), but they can still be used in a Chrysalis
keymap.
In general, the formula for the Chrysalis custom key code corresponding to the
CharShift key with index `N` is:
`CS(N)``53631 + N`
