Sticky/Dead Key/Oneshot Modifier for Layer Switching?

[chrischambers]

Is it possible to map a a sticky/deadkey for layer switching? E.g. hitting capslock followed by the "a" key results in whatever's mapped to the "a" key in layer 1? I see that there's a oneshot modifier action, but I've not managed to make it work for layer switching.

As another twist - is it possible to have the capslock key, for example, act as a sticky key when tapped and a momentary layer shift when held? Similar to the ergodex ez default keymap 'temp coder layer', but with a sticky key mode instead of a toggle when tapped?

An update: I see that ahtn put in some work here to make this possible in the original repository, which has yet to be merged. I created a patch which applies cleanly but didn't have the desired result (it rendered the left half of my ergodox unresponsive).

Yes. Dead keys are also particulary useful to deal with accentuated letters in many Europeans languages.

Just to update this, I just created a pull request that has no conflicts with the master branch here: #308

I think this can be closed since #308 was merged.
