Delay prints character too late

[carl-westerlund]

I really like xcape. I have remaped space to shift and then xcape inserts a space if I pressed and released space on it's own. Sometimes when I write fast, the first character I write after a space is printed before the space, like this "Sometimesw hen". Can I do something about this?

Any update on this issue? this is also what i'm experiencing, I tried using -t <timeout> ms but no luck..

xcape doesn't work within a serial keyboard handling queue (as kind of a filter) it doesn't (and can't) interupt the systems key handling if it should.

If you write very fast, following keys might be handled by the system while in parallel xcape gets informed about the previos key (by XRecord, IIRC) and is still handling it.

Perhaps you could use nice -20 xcape ... to make xcape a little faster. But since it has to be informed about the keypress and simulate an other one, I wouldn't put to much hope in this idea.
