Has anyone gotten ShapeShifter + TopsyTurvy to play nice together?

[lydell (Simon Lydell)]

I don’t use any of those plugins. Instead, what I did was:

1. Duplicate all your layers (where you’d like to be able to use Shift as a modifier). Add _SHIFT (or something) at the end of the layer names.
2. Add LSHIFT() around all keys in the *_SHIFT layers.
3. Replace some keys in the *_SHIFT layers, to make them type what you want.
4. Replace Key_LeftShift and Key_RightShift with ShiftToLayer(FOO_SHIFT) everywhere, so that the “shift” keys shifts to the appropriate *_SHIFT layer instead of sending an actual Shift keypress to the OS.
5. Add a Key_LeftShift somewhere, which can be used for shift-clicking.

Here are my layers:

Some funky shift customizations I’d like to make

I’ve implemented the above idea now: https://github.com/lydell/Model01-Firmware/commit/5d9632022889eb54d62db3925f49b139b2becd33 Seems to be working great so far. Just remember that if you need to hold down shift for real, you need to hold down fn+shift.
