 For example, to pass the first parameter received into a `&kp` binding, you would use:
 
 ```dts
-bindings = <&macro_param_1to1>, <&kp MACRO_PLACEHOLDER>;
+bindings = <&macro_param_1to1>, <&kp PLACEHOLDER>;
 ```
 
-Because `kp` takes one parameter, you can't simply make the second entry `<&kp>` in the `bindings` list. Whatever value you do pass in will be replaced when the macro is triggered, so you can put _any_ value there, e.g. `0`, `A` keycode, etc. To make it very obvious that the parameter there is not actually going to be used, you can use `MACRO_PLACEHOLDER` which is simply an alias for `0`.
