toLazy

[Limitedheadroom]

Hi, is it possible to do karabiners toLazy function? toLazy() doesn't seem to be recognised in the online editor. I'm still very new to js, so wouldn't be surprised if I'm doing something wrong.

I want to map ('␣', '⇪') so that it types '. ' (period, space, space) and then activates lazy shift. I have the first part working with toPaste('. '), but I don't know how to implement the last part.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Limitedheadroom, can you try if this works for you:

    map('␣', '⇪')
      .to('.').to('␣').to('␣') // May be faster than toPaste('.  ')
      .to({key_code: 'left_shift', lazy: true})

amazing, thank you. I've not really grasped the use of the JSON style notation in karabiner.ts yet ({key_code: 'left_shift', lazy: true}), and when you need to use it. I guess when there isn't a specific function such as toLazy. Anyway, thanks for the tip.

A lot of options are the same as the JSON in karabiner.ts, another way to write it, which may feel less "JSON":

.to('‹⇧', {}, {lazy: true})
