Shifted symbols do not work with LT<n>

[jeep]

Describe the Bug

When I used LT(1,%) I expected it to apply layer 1 when held and produce a % when tapped, but instead it prints 5 when I tap the key and correctly turns on Layer 1 when I hold. When I apply only the shifted key, it correctly prints the %.

I am using Ergodox EZ with Windows 10. I also tried with ~ and the same result. It produces a tick instead of a tilde.

Additional Context?

The left key works as expected and produces a %. The right key does not work as expected. Instead of a % it produces a 5 (the unshifted version)

This may be a limitation of split, it might not be sending the mod shift over the wire. Can you connect the right half to USB and retest? In which case this is a qmk issue and not configurator.

I have configured the same key with both % and LT1(%). The % works, the LT1(%) does not.

Does that answer the question? If this is a QMK issue, would you mind helping me out with wording the bug report since it sounds like you might understand the issue better?

Ah. So shifted values don't work with LT as I understand it. This is equivalent to holding 2 keys.

Okay, so this is expected? I just want it to do something it currently cannot?

I think you can write custom code, which means you can't use configurator for this. You could try the EZ configurator Oryx, it may have a way to support this.
