Can I tap g to get a g and hold g for a control+g? #848

Can't see the wood for the trees!

It's an emacs thing, just can't work it out for myself :(

Tapping and holding mean different things to different people, so this depends on what exact behaviour you have in mind! The simplest way to interpret your question would be g = timeout(g, 200, C-g), with the disambiguation between tapping and holding being based strictly on hold time. But what should happen when keys start overlapping? That happens quite often in normal typing.

Thank you! I must have misread the timeout section, I missed the g = part off, then I went down a rabbit hole of all the variations of overload. I understand what you are saying and have increased the time to 500 to hopefully counter this.
