I tried the plugin MagicCombo, however it persist the key’s previous action. I want to map “df” to ESC. qmk_firmware’s process_combo_event allow to this.

I have successfully mapped the home key to thes J and K but then ran into…

MagicCombo was designed so that it does not mask the original keys, that’s a conscious design choice, because it makes the implementation a lot simpler. On the other hand, there’s been plenty of issues with this approach, and masking the combo participants until a short timeout makes more sense in a…

Hello Algernon, Thanks for the quick reply. I created an issue unfortunately, I cant seem to set any labels on this issue.

For now, I’m using qmk firmware for the combo key.
