[Feature Request] Allow Pressing Trigger and Activation Key at the same time

[danilichti]

Thanks for the great app. I've been a long time user of Max Stoiber's Setup with Karabiner Elements but having a UI for all commands is very helpful.

It would be great, if I wouldn't have to let go of the Leader Key Trigger when trying to click the Action key.

Example:
I have set ✦ + R to trigger my Raycast Group and ⎵ to open a URL (opening Raycast Clipboard History).

Coming from Karabiner, I used to just press all three keys (✦ + R + ⎵) to open the clipboard history. Now, when I do that, the Leader Key Window wobbles, indicating a false click.
Only if I let go of Hyperkey + R, I can click the spacebar to open the CB History.

Perhaps I have not found the right setting yet to activate the described behaviour but having an option to just simultaneously click Trigger + Action Key to open/run commands would be very neat.

Well, I'm sorry to say it, but that's exactly why everyone loves LeaderKey so much: Having to press the keys one after the other, LeaderKey allows for sequences of any length.

@t417s Nothing to be sorry about and I fully understand that point.

However, the one functionality doesn't necessarily exclude the other.
For some very frequently used commands (clipboard, screenshot etc. ) a triple key press would just be faster.

At the same time, pressing the leader key trigger to show the window and then having to press ESC again to close it, could be seen as an unnecessary extra click when justing holding the trigger keys to show the window and hiding the window again when the keys are released, could be enough.

This has been discussed a few times under the name of #66 Modifier Mode. Not planned at the moment - but you're not the first to bring it up.

Maybe someday.
