+#ifdef CHORDAL_HOLD
+// On Moonlander, the default definition of `chordal_hold_layout` in keyboard.c
+// is unusable, since it unfortunately gets generated from the Halfmoon's
+// layout. We make a manual definition here to correct this.
+//
+// This definition and the definition in keyboard.c are weak definitions so that
+// the user may override them with their own strong definition. If there is no
+// strong definition, the linker uses the first weak definition encountered,
+// which is this one (https://maskray.me/blog/2021-04-25-weak-symbol).
