duoLayer but layer should be activated with only one of the two keys

[kayg04]

A common problem I have with duoLayer (which is why I use hyperLayer) instead is that it affects my typing speed. I can type 80 wpm on a slow day, 120 on a better day so with many duoLayers in my configuration, there's a slight delay in typing alphabets because I assume karabiner waits to see if i press the other duolayer key next to activate it.

For example:

a + ; → Navigation Layer
s + ; → Numpad Layer
d + ; → Raycast Layer
f + ; → Symbol Layer

Now whenever I come across words that have any of those alphabets in, it's noticeably slower to type.

So I was looking for a way to have:

a + ; → Navigation Layer

BUT the layer is only triggered when ; is pressed FIRST, then a.

Is something like this possible?

Thank you!

There are 2 things you can try if help:

duoLayer(';', 'a')
    .threshold(30) // Can also be global 'duo_layer.threshold_milliseconds'
    .options({ key_down_order: 'strict' })

Let me try that and report back. Thank you so much!

Hey, key_down_order works really well. I am sure the threshold modifier would work just as well if I run into problems still.
