Can't get the Double Tap to Caps Lock example to work

[nach00]

I've been trying for hours to figure out how come I can't get the example Double Tap to Caps Lock example to work! I've tried both the new version and the old version. Oh, I'm also on a Mac.

I'm fairly certain I'm doing everything correctly because I created another macro that works fine (Mod+C to close tab, Mod+Shift-C to reopen tab).

I thought it might be a conflict with my Better Touch Tool, but I disabled the software and it's still not working.

The Shift part works. But the Double tap does not. I've even tried on a different key other than Shift, and Double tap still doesn't work.

Hi! Mac is here to blame. The system requires caps lock to be pressed for certain amount of time in order to work. The tapKey however activates only for a very brief moment.

So you will need:

$holdKey leftShift $ifNotDoubletap break $pressKey capsLock $delayUntil 500 $releaseKey capsLock

Try it and if it works, then lower the 500 ms timeout to something more reasonable (100/200/300 maybe).

Also in case you are using Karabiner, it is known to cause problems in combination with some features of the UHK.

I've added note about this into the readme, so everything should be clear now -> closing the issue, but feel free to follow up.
