Bypass sequence when using modifiers

[sylvorg]

Hello!

As in the title. Is it possible to bypass sequences when using modifiers? For example, when setting \ to a sequence key, if I roll from Shift to \, the character printed is \ and not |. I have to hold Shift for a second to get |.

Thank you kindly for the help!

Please create a reproduction on the simulator and "Copy all" to here.

A capitalized J is just a j output while a left or right shift key is pressed.

Make sure to add enough time to simulate your issue.

If you get stuck just copy what you have via copy permalink and add it here

Got it. This one should show that rolling from shift to \ prints a \, while this should show that holding shift for a second or two when pressing \ prints | as it should.

Thanks again for being so patient! 😅

You can use fork or switch to change behaviour while a modifier is pressed.

(deflayermap (base)
  \ (switch

      () (macro (sequence 200 hidden-delay-type) 5 \) break
    )

That did the trick. Thanks for all the help! I hope this doesn't raise more complications, though! 😅 Hope you don't mind me asking for help again if they do!
