Make it possible to use Fn to toggle to different layers when held vs when tapped #488

Open obra opened 5 years ago

obra commented 5 years ago

@algernon Do we have a space cadet shift style way to make Function shift to different layers depending on whether it's tapped or held? algernonToday at 4:08 PM so it would have two actions: toggle to layer A when tapped, shift to B when held? obraToday at 4:08 PM yes. algernonToday at 4:08 PM I don't think we have that (yet) obraToday at 4:08 PM I'm trying to implement half-qwerty for a customer who's temporarily disabled algernonToday at 4:08 PM if you open an issue, I'll PR it tomorrow morning. obraToday at 4:08 PM ok

On second thought, SpaceCadet can already do this: just set up a mapping like {LockLayer(A), ShiftToLayer(B), 500}, and have LockLayer(A) on the keymap + SpaceCadet enabled.

(Not tested, but should work according to the docs)

Incidentally, Qukeys can also do this. It can even do two different ShiftToLayer() values on the same key, though the utility of this is dubious, as the "tap" version would only be useful when rolling over, and would probably require a fairly long timeout to be used reliably.
