Need some qmk assistance
« on: Fri, 01 December 2017, 11:20:28 »
So I just completed a DZ60 build and I’m trying to optimize my layout. I play MMOs and my plan was to utilize a function key in the same way you would a standard modifier to give me more functionality of my number row. However, I have this issue that when I trigger a function key it interrupts any other commands that were previously being sent. ie I’m strafing by holding down E and then use my Fn key to swap layers and gain access to F keys on my number row but my E command is interrupted and I stop moving.

Using qmk firmware builder I’ve configured my movement keys to be transparent on the function layer and if I re-press my keys everything continues as normal, but I can’t have my movement commands interrupted every time I swap layers. Is there a way around this issue?

I also plan on configuring the Fn key in question as a multi touch key with layer mod capabilities when held and an alternate key command when tapped. Would this complicate any possible solutions to the original issue?

Hey, sorry for my stupid irrelevant post here the other day.. I shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard when overcaffeinated. Hope you get some help with your questions.   :thumb:
