Multistroke / Repeat Slow Modified Keypress

[Myrkskog]

Within the multistroke if_tap setup; I noticed if I define the first stroke/key press with a hold_keys(x) it will allow me to press and release sending (x) once, and if double pressed + held it will repeatedly send (x).

if_tap(
if_tap(
modify(Shift_L, hold_keys(Super_R, left)),
hold_keys(Alt_L, Escape) <---------WHAT TO DO HERE?! I would like a wait/delay when sending Escape each time slowly
),
modify(Shift_L, hold_keys(Super_R, down))
)

This key combination Alt + Esc cycles active windows in OS. I am hoping to maintain Multistroke functionality.
Cycling happens rapidly and its a roulette to land on the active window I want. How to slow this down?

do exactly what you said: wait

if_tap(
    if_tap(
        modify(Shift_L, hold_keys(Super_R, left)),
        hold_keys(Alt_L, Escape).wait(500)
    ),
    modify(Shift_L, hold_keys(Super_R, down))
)

if that does not work you can try to replace the inner hold_keys with a modify macro like this:

if_tap(
    if_tap(
        modify(Shift_L, hold_keys(Super_R, left)),
        modify(Alt_L, hold(Escape).wait(500))
    ),
    modify(Shift_L, hold_keys(Super_R, down))
)

Thank you Jonasboss.

I tried what you suggested and I did not get the results I'm expecting. I think it relates to my logic of what I need here. Given I have another work around not input remapper related, I will shelf it for now.

Thanks again.
