  • "Hold up to" functionality?

    Sorry if this is a simple question. I tried searching and couldn't find an answer. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish - I want to create a combo/mapping where I press and hold a button and it will release either 1) when I let go 2) after X amount of time. For example if I set the threshold to 250ms, if I release the button before that I want it to register the button up event as soon as I release. But if I just continue holding it it will automatically fire a button up after 250ms.

    Not sure if I understood you correctly.
    Could you rephrase the request somehow?​

      Sure sorry about that. I want to setup my controller in a way that I can set the maximum time a button will be pressed down. If I press it down for less (like a quick tap for example) it'll register the tap, but if I keep it pressed it will only be considered pressed up to the maximum time.... Yeah that might be even less clear. Let me try with scenarios -

      Let's say I set the "max" to 500ms.

      1. I physically press the button down for ~25ms - the virtual controller registers it as a 25ms press
      2. I physically press the button down for 750ms - the virtual controller registers it as a 500ms press.

      Is that clearer?

        As a workaround, I would like to suggest using Long press activator with adding a needed key to combo.

        So, you can adjust the press time for Long Press in the Preferences. For instance, it could be 500ms

        I'm not sure if you looking exactly this, but probably it will be helpful as well




        Note, that if a button has a Long press activator assigned to it, reWASD will wait the Long press time before it executes whether the Long or Single press mapping. If it will be less time then Long press time, then a Single press mapping reproduces. And on the contrary, if the Long press time is reached, the Long press activator reproduces.​

          Thanks. Unfortunately, this doesn't accomplish what I need. As you mentioned reWASD will wait the until the Long press time before deciding between the Long or Single press activators. That introduces a "lag/delay" that ends up defeating the purpose of doing this.

            Unfortunately, there is no other option to implement this without this delay.
