Feature Request: delayed mapping/map timeout

Open JPTIZ opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

On my Linux setup, specially with vim/neovim, I have:

  • CapsLock and L Control keys swapped;
  • If CapsLock (physical key location) is pressed for less than ~300ms, then it is not mapped to L Control, but to Escape instead.

Or, in other words:

  • L Ctrl maps to CapsLock
  • CapsLock maps to:
    • L Ctrl if pressed for longer than 300ms;
    • Escape otherwise.

This allows me to quickly enter normal mode (nvim), cancel things, etc., with little movement from my left hand (and since a lot of keyboard shortcuts use Ctrl key, it is very useful to have Escape in the same place). Having this on Windows as well would be an awesome Windows experience.

This Uncap application is amazing! I have a Windows laptop for office use, and I cannot install any application without the IT team's permission, but I'm able to use Uncap without any permission. I have mapped my Caps Lock key to the Escape key, and it works like a charm!

But I have got a new problem:

I have two keyboards. One is a Logitech MK215 which has an Fn key on the left side. When I press Fn + Left Arrow, it behaves as the Home key, and when I press Fn + Right Arrow, it behaves as the End key.

Now, on my new Amazon Basics wireless ergonomic keyboard, Fn + Left Arrow does nothing, and I'm looking for a solution here.
