[Feature request] add option/method to disable automatic locking on long press for Alt, Ctrl, Shift and Super Keys

Open aalivernini opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Automatic locking of modifier keys is not always desiderable.

For example, in my use case in Termux: 1 - I select the next window in Tmux, keeping pressed Alt and repeating j key until I select the desired window. Due to the repeat speed set for long press (desidered for normal keys), Alt becomes locked. 2 - In the selected window I have nvim already opened with mappings to the Alt key. Due to the Alt key that is now locked I call unwanted commands/functions by pressing any key, if I do not notice that the modifier key has become locked.

Thanks for the issue! Normally, a modifier shouldn't lock if you pressed an other key while the modifier was also pressed. This is a bug.

The bug only happens with the sequence: press Alt, press j, release Alt, release j. It doesn't happen with this sequence (so you could use that for now): press Alt, press j, release j, release Alt.
