dual keys and timeouts problem

[kbilsted]

hi thanks for a great application. i struggle with defining timouts on keys that have two purposes.

before i did the remap, i made a simpler remap to ensure that long- and fast-press actually works!

Foo = A
Foo{300ms} S >> "!"

slow press yields ! and fast press yields a, great!

---

now for my more esoteric problem.
My keyboard has two spacebars on my keyboard and the keyboard can be programmed via a horrible "via" software. therefore my spaces are mapped to F13 and F14 and i have keymapper doing the rest.

first i alias

# alias
L_META = F13
R_META = F13 | F14 

# combo
R_META{A} >> 1
R_META{S} >> 2
R_META{D} >> 3
R_META{F} >> 4

# finally i define my space key. it has to be the last definition
L_META >> Space
R_META >> Space

this works, but i often am sloppy so i hold space for too long when typing fast.. resulting in 1 being outputted rather than a. Thus i want to long press the meta-key for numbers to appear.

When i change the above to

R_META{200ms} A >> 1

it never output 1

how can i remap with long presses?

I copy a part of my config that does a VIAL alike tab-dance, that maybe you can use. You only seem to need the part starting with "# 'Tab' gives ContextMenu".

==== start ====
# Fn2 = ContextMenu or
Fn2 = MetaRight

# Start 'Tab Dance': Fn2

# 'Double Tab' gives Control{Escape} which OpenBox turns into an alternative menu
Fn2{!250ms} !250ms Fn2{!250ms} >> Control{Escape}

# 'Tab-Hold' gives a first layer
Fn2{!250ms} !250ms Fn2{U} >> $(setxkbmap -layout us)
Fn2{!250ms} !250ms Fn2{I} >> $(setxkbmap -layout us -variant intl)

# 'Tab' gives ContextMenu
Fn2{!250ms} >> ^ ContextMenu

# 'Hold'
Fn2{CapsLock} >> CapsLock

Fn2{ AudioVolumeMute} >> $(ssh smplayer3 mpc toggle)
Fn2{ AudioVolumeDown} >> $(ssh smplayer3 mpc volume -1)
Fn2{ AudioVolumeUp} >> $(ssh smplayer3 mpc volume +1)
Fn2{Shift{AudioVolumeDown}} >> $(ssh smplayer3 mpc volume -5)
Fn2{Shift{AudioVolumeUp}} >> $(ssh smplayer3 mpc volume +5)

# 'Release' gives no output
Fn2 >>

# End 'Tab Dance': Fn2
