Input chords / combos (v2) status

[CosmoDm]

The defchordsv2-experimental configuration item works like a charm. Is its status still experimental? And can we have inclusive logic for enabled layers please?

[NowotnyJim]

I'll second that; v2 chords has been a game-changer for me. Almost everything I was doing with layers I now do with v2 cords.

[nerdicly]

That's interesting! Could you please share the keymaps?

[NowotnyJim]

Here is one of my setups, which is just a bunch of macros. In the old way, I would switch layers and tap the key mapped to the macro. The new way with v2 chords: I map the macros to a chord. I pick a letter that is meaningful to me, and then I set up cords that include surrounding keys. In the setup below N, D, G, O all mean something to me. Now I map N and the key above to the left to a macro and N and the key above to the right to a different macro. Same with all the other ones. This also makes it easier to remember what is where.

Thanks! I will try this out, this looks so promising for my use case 🙌

[Kommynct]

Hey, I'm just wondering for the purposes of learning, is there any way to forcibly backspace anything you have a chord for already, forcing me to actually use my chordes?

[Kommynct]

Another question, is there any way to do separate chords based on capslock status? Right now chordes that autocapitalize with shift end up reversed with capslock, such as i'M or i'LL
