How can I toggle Sticky Keys with a shortcut?

[madorian]

Can I toggle sticky keys with something like CTRL+Q?

I found this sticky config:

 [ids]
     
    *
     
    # Latching (first press activates modifier's layer for next key)
     
    [main]
    capslock = oneshot(control)
    control = oneshot(control)
    shift = oneshot(shift)
    leftalt = oneshot(alt)
    rightalt = oneshot(alt)
    meta = oneshot(meta)
     
    # Locking (second press locks modifier until pressed again)
     
    [control]
    control = toggle(control)
    capslock = toggle(control)
     
    [shift]
    shift = toggle(shift)
     
    [alt]
    leftalt = toggle(alt)
    rightalt = toggle(alt)
     
    [meta]
    meta = toggle(meta)

Sure:

[sticky] capslock = oneshot(control) control = oneshot(control) shift = oneshot(shift) leftalt = oneshot(alt) rightalt = oneshot(alt) meta = oneshot(meta)

[control] q = toggle(sticky)

This doesn't work as expected.

C-q should turn on the sticky layer and C-q again should turn off the sticky layer.

Or any other suggestions?

Right now, I'm not sure what it's supposed to do and I just to stop keyd over ssh, cause it just outputted weird stuff;)

C-q should turn on the sticky layer and C-q again should turn off the sticky layer.

This is what the above config is supposed to do. Can you please explain what happens instead?

Can you send the complete configuration file, cause I'm not really sure how this is supposed to switch between a totally normal keyboard and a sticky keyboard.
