Left shift from macro not recognised as a shift in another macro

[tunney]

I have the above macro, which works fine, and when I double tap left shift I get caps, and if I just press/hold it it acts as shift

I also have the above macro, which also on its own works fine, and it records a runtime macro if I press shift and a key.

The problem is with both enabled I cannot get the runtime macro to record as the shift condition is not triggered.

What have I done wrong please?

For your usecase, you should use MODMASK notation with input composite mode - i.e., $holdKey iLS- in your shift macro.

I hope following excerpt makes the meaning clearer:

• MODMASK meaning:

  • {S|C|A|G} - Shift Control Alt Gui. (Windows, Super and Gui are the same thing. )
  • [L|R] - Left Right (which hand side modifier should be used)

  • {s|i|o} - modifiers (ctrl, alt, shift, gui) exist in three composition modes within UHK - sticky, input, output:

    • sticky modifiers are modifiers of composite shortcuts. These are applied only until next key press. In certain contexts, they >will take effect even after their activation key was released (e.g., to support alt + tab on non-base layers).
    • input modifiers are queried by ifMod conditions, and can be suppressed by suppressMods.
    • output modifiers are ignored by ifMod conditions, and are not suppressed by suppressMods.

    By default:

    • modifiers of normal non-macro scancode actions are treated as sticky when accompanied by a scancode.
    • normal non-macro modifiers (not accompanied by a scancode) are treated as input by default.
    • macro modifiers are treated as output.
  • {p|r|h|t} - press release hold tap - by default corresponds to the command used to invoke the sequence, but can be overriden for any.

Works a charm, thanks, I had not picked up on that
