shift press mode

3

hi all, heres a software feature suggestion:

"shift press mode" in this mode you just press the shift button then press any of the shortcut buttons to activate a shortcut, you wouldn't have to hold the shift button down you could just press it instead. there could be an option in the settings menu to set weather you hold the shift button to activate shortcuts or just press it what do you guys think of this :)

    Its already like that. You only have to hold shift until you select the shortcut, then you can stop holding shift

    Like this
    Shift + shortcut accesses shortcut.

    What time proposing is that to activate a shortcut you wouldn’t have to hold the shift button with one hand you press the shift button Then with that same hand you can press the button that that activates the shortcut In this case you would not hold the shift button

    I get it. Press shift, then it stays activated until you press a shortcut or another function that uses a shift combination.

    That could be useful.

    It is called latching, so you could press shift, shift stays active until shortcut is pressed.

    A good way to prevent it from being inadvertently used could be it only happens when shift button is held for more than 1 second, then it latches, to cancel the latching press shift again.
