Can I slightly change/override HRM's behaviour?

[Groz17]

Hi again, I set the j key to function as alt if held, but I'd like to override the jk sequence so that instead of producing alt-k it would produce return.

I know I can create a layer that is full of alt-<symbol> and return just for the k key, but it makes the config a bit messier and more importantly I'd like jk to produce return immediately, so I'd need a way to specify a different timeout for just that key. Is this possible? Thanks

(defchordsv2 (j k) ret 30 all-released ())

Thanks for the reply. That's the method I've been using, but this way I can't type sequences like ctrl (I have the k key for that) - alt - , because pressing jk would trigger return instead.

So I thought about 2 solutions:

• use jk for return and kj for ctrl-alt
• (preferable) produce return only when I press first j, then k, and then release both of them without pressing another character

ordered chords maybe #1573

(j k) (switch ((input-history real k 1)) ret break() (multi lctl alt) break) 150 all-released () works, thanks a ton!

I have a couple more questions I'd like to ask you:

• Do HRMs work with defchordsv2? On my machine, with the defchordsv2 I wrote in my earlier comment, ctrl-ret (djk sequence) and alt-ret (fjk sequence) don't work, while their combination ctrl-alt-ret (dfjk) works. Seems strange... 🤔 I tested with the regular ctrl and alt keys and they work.
• Can I use modifiers in dechordsv2 definitions? I'd like the chord (j K) to produce S-ret. Since I use autoshift, this would translate to holding the k key just a little longer to produce K. Basically a tap-hold, but for chords.

I use only chords with very short timings (30ms) so they can't activate from normal typing.
I use "autorepeat" keys like bspc and C-bscp, so using mods shoud not be a problem
