Is it possible to create a dead key layout? #24

Closed thshdw closed 5 years ago

thshdw commented 5 years ago

Would it be possible to trigger another layer using a dead key? Pressing , for example would trigger the layer and pressing g makes a { Once this happens it goes back to the main layer.

This way I don't have to hold a key or toggle a key to trigger the layer.

Hey, you can't exactly do that but there's a pretty similar feature, in the sticky keys.

Assign a key to stickyFN1, then place { to layer1 of g, pressing the sticky key, then pressing g would output {.

Thanks. What happens after the { output is complete? Is the sticky key still in its state or would I be back at my main layer?

You would be back at your main layer, the sticky modifiers only work for one key, after that you are returned to your main layer.
