Repeat keystrokes for a same-key sequence

[jeetrayotu]

Hello!

Is it possible to repeat keystrokes for a same-key sequence? For example, if I were to set jj to a sequence, if I held j on the second press, could I still get the default effect of repeated j characters being printed somehow?

Thank you kindly for the help!

Please demonstrate your issue on the simulator.

Holding tap-dance seems to work with this block, though after you tap you have to tap and hold a fraction of a second later to trigger repeated hold actions instead of tap actions:

(defsrc)

(deflayermap (base)
  \ (switch
      (ControlLeft ControlRight ShiftLeft ShiftRight AltLeft AltRight MetaLeft MetaRight) \ break
      () (tap-dance 180 (\ (tap-hold 150 180 (multi Escape S-;) \))) break)
)

Is there any way to avoid the delay? Do I just have to use a smaller tap-hold hold timeout than 180?

Here's the simulation for the (multi Escape S-;) and the one for the hold action \.

What's the need for tap-hold?

Tapping twice and holding the second tap should repeatedly print \, which is what the tap-hold seems to be doing.

[jtroo]

Hm does concurrent-tap-hold yes in defcfg help?

[jeetrayotu]

I had it enabled when I tried your example without tap-hold, which did not work.
