Shift + Fn1 vs Fn1 + Shift

[larsks]

I've noticed that the order in which I press modifier keys has an impact on what characters keys will produce.

If I hold down Fn1 and press A, I get the the character 2. If I continue to hold down the Fn1 key but then also press the shift key, typing A will continue to produce 2. This was unexpected.

On the other hand, if I first press the shift key, typing A produces A. If I continue to hold down the shift key and also press Fn1, pressing A will generate @. If I release the shift key I will start to get 2.

Is this expected? A hardware problem? A firmware problem?

Thanks!

it is expected. When you have Fn1 held. Your shift will only trigger the function bind to the Fn1 layer on your shift key.

Try this:

And of course, you are most likely need to do this for other layers and other modifier keys as well.

Thanks so much! I saw that note in the docs ("You might find it handy on modifier keys, when you need shift to act like shift in all layers.") but I didn't really understand what it was saying. I guess there's nothing like a practical problem to illuminate something :),
