This looks like a very competent & fast replacement for interception-tools (https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools). Nice. Having multiple layers is very interesting to me. Being able to quickly swap config is also compelling.

Yeah I’m really looking forward to playing with this. Going to map caps lock to escape for vim. But the sky is the limit: with all the layer stuff.

  I was using caps-lock for control for a while. But dual mode, where caps lock is escape if pressed alone, control if pressed in combination with anything is soooo good. Huge upgrade, highly recommend. An interesting base example of stateful key presses

    Yeah I am doing the same: I took the sample global configuration from the readme. It’s been a trip trying to retrain my finger memory.

    You might enjoy putting Ctrl on your space key then. Even bigger upgrade. :)

Some techniques I've liked / made use of (although I support may vary depending on the tool you use): - Using tap-hold to put Shift/Ctrl/Gui/Alt on home row underneath fdsa (and on the right-hand side, too). - "Caps Word", where CapsLock functionality is enabled until a non-[A-Za-z0-9_] letter is input. - Having a 'combo'/'chord' where pressing 'cv' or 'm,' would take me to the previous/next virtual desktop.

Long-term user of interception-tools here. Has performance ever been an issue for anyone? For me it hasn't, at least.

  I'm having a great time with interception-tools. I'm finding it more stable / consistent than xcape (which I had been using for a few years prior), to the extent that I've moved some of my QMK functionality to interception-tools so that I can have better consistency between laptop and external keyboard.

    Exactly, I, too, used to use xcape and am very happy with interception-tools.
