On windows tap-hold keys are processing too long

[nikita-starostin]

I have tried to use kanata for home row mods, can say it is really nice and easy to use and configure software

With the config below, when I type fastly this, the result is tihs, key i processed faster then "tap-holded" h

It is ok if I slow down a little, maybe I can improve somehow the config? For me better variant would be if key is processed immidiately and rollbacked in case of timeout, e.g. I holding 'h' and it is typed, once 200ms passed 'h' cleared and now it is like lmet pressed.

The current config:

(defsrc
  a s d f
  h j k l
)

(defvar
  tap-time 150
  hold-time 200
) 

(defalias
  a-mod (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time a lmet)
  s-mod (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time s lalt)
  d-mod (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time d lshift)
  f-mod (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time f lctrl)
  h-mod (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time h rmet)
  j-mod (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time j ralt)
  k-mod (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time k rshift)
  l-mod (tap-hold $tap-time $hold-time l rctrl)
)

(deflayer base
  @a-mod @s-mod @d-mod @f-mod
  @h-mod @j-mod @k-mod @l-mod
)

Please have a read through:

• defsrc: https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/blob/main/docs/config.adoc#defsrc
• windows altgr: https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/blob/main/docs/config.adoc#windows-only-windows-altgr

thank you! with that works like a charm with that addition:

(defcfg 
  windows-altgr cancel-lctl-press
  process-unmapped-keys yes
)

PS. have found more config samples, with layers and impressed even more, how even better my hands position could be
