Feature Request: Consider a tap vs hold option

Closed this issue · 1 comments

This isn't as big of a deal to me as #83
But it would be a nice feature to be able to have a tap vs held option when configuring a key.

Some ideas I've seen:

  • having caps when a letter is held down (though that may be a keyboard wide setting).
  • Doing more with caps lock by using the tap to be standard caps lock and hold to be a combo of modifier keys.
  • Using the Fn key, a tap switches the layer until it's tapped again, a hold only has the layer active while it's being held.

Since Launch uses QMK firmware, this is already supported, but firmware must be manually customized and flashed, rather than mapped using the Configurator. Support for more advanced functionality, including mod-tap is currently being worked on.
