Map jj to Escape

[sylvorg]

Hello!

As in the title; is there any way to map jj to Escape? Using chords don't seem to work, I think.

Thank you kindly for the help!

Could give this a try:

Simulator config

(defsrc)
(defvirtualkeys v-esc esc)
(defseq v-esc (j j))

(deflayermap (base)
  j (macro (sequence 200 hidden-delay-type) 5 j)
)

Simulator input

d:KeyJ t:5 u:KeyJ d:KeyJ t:88 u:KeyJ t:9000

Simulator output

t:              8ms
out: ↑(release) J
t:              6ms
out: ↑(release) J
out:   ↓(press) Escape
t:              1ms
out: ↑(release) Escape

Thanks for the clarification! Is there any way to make the character appear as soon as the sequence timeout expires?

[jtroo]

The configuration should do it with hidden delay type already. What are you observing?

[sylvorg]

It takes a split second for the character to appear, using a sequence timeout of 150 and a delay of 1. I'm assuming this cannot be addressed when using sequences?

[jtroo]

appear as soon as the sequence timeout expires

The split second is the time until the timeout expires. You can use visible-backspaced or use switch with key-history but this means even when activating esc you will have typed j which might be problematic.

Thought so. I'll stick with the delay, then. Thanks for all the help!
