Remap F-e to Ctrl-tab and F-w to Alt-tab

[tesar-tech]

Hey,
I would like to have the alt-tab and ctrl-tab on the same "starting" key (F) and that seems to be a problem... I can map easily alt-tab, but i would like the alt to hold while I hold the F and same goes for the ctrl, so it is impossible to just remap the F to alt...

any idea here?

How are you intending to differentiate when to use ctl vs alt? Please give a config sample of what you tried.

Hey, thanks for the response and for the software, it really pushed me forward with my setup

How are you intending to differentiate when to use ctl vs alt?

I guess that's the problem. It has to somehow distinguish when the second key is pressed (e for ctrl and w for alt)...

I did this

(defsrc w e f)

(defalias f (tap-hold 200 200 f
  (layer-while-held the_layer)))

(deflayer base  w e @f )

(deflayer the_layer C-tab A-tab _)

link to simulator (that's also nice piece of software 👍)

but that obviously release the alt or ctrl when the key is released... Well I guess I need something like:

• when F-w is pressed hold alt as long as the F is held.
• ...and press tab on every w press (while F being hold)
• ...and release the alt when F is released.

same for F-e, but with ctrl instead of alt...

am I missing some basic functionality here?

You can try adapting this sample: #1344 (comment)

yes, that kicked me in the right direction. working solution:

(defsrc w e f)

(defvirtualkeys
v-ctl ctl
v-alt alt
v-tab tab)


(defalias

 f (multi 
(on-release release-vkey v-alt)
(tap-hold 200 200 f
  (layer-while-held the_layer))

)
 e (multi (on-press press-vkey v-alt)   (on-press tap-vkey v-tab)   )
 w (multi (on-press press-vkey v-ctl)   (on-press tap-vkey v-tab)   )

)

(deflayer base  w e @f )

(deflayer the_layer @w @e _)

thank you
