[KBM] Chord key support #4508
Comments
Hi @saahmedm, what I meant is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key |
So my understanding is supporting dead keys = chords? is there a difference in implementation, other than a specific key being chosen as the "dead key" that initiates the chord shortcut. |
I guess dead keys can be seen as a simplified version of a chord, in which the second keystroke should be a simple keypress and not another combination. |
@Canna71 which keyboard layout would you be using for such a remapping? |
Updating the title here to crisply state chords |
Closing in favor of #6976 |
not totally sure why chords was closed out. Could have been for dead key support. Lets make this dedicated for just chords |
This has been worked on during the 0.79.0 release cycle. |
Hi, I think it should be useful to add support for dead keys, or even chords.
For example, I am currently using Autohotkey to insert accented letters by typing, for example
Alt+`, A
=>à
Pressing Alt+` will not map to any key (thus, a dead key) but will enter a mode, after which the mapping is applied (in this case a=>à)
If KBM was going to support this, I could ditch Autohotkey.
