Action on layer becoming inactive - is it possible?

[chodorowicz]

Hey there 👋 🙂

I'm thinking of having a layer, let's say right_command + s which would launch apps (e.g right_command + s + {key}) but at the same time it would launch another app if nothing was matched among, and only right_command + s was pressed.

modifierLayer("right_command", "s").manipulators([
	map("i").to(toApp("Signal")),
	map("k").to(toApp("Skype")),
])
// launch `toApp("Slack")` if only `"right_command", "s"` was pressed and released, without any other key

is it possible?

OK, I got it working 🥳

rule("apps").manipulators([
	withModifier("right_command")([
		map("s")
			.toVar("app_layer", "s")
			.toAfterKeyUp(toSetVar("app_layer", 0))
			.toIfAlone(toApp("Slack")),
		map("p")
			.toVar("app_layer", "p")
			.toAfterKeyUp(toSetVar("app_layer", 0))
			.toIfAlone(toApp("1Password")),
		withCondition(ifVar("app_layer", "s"))([map("i").to(toApp("Signal"))]),
		withCondition(ifVar("app_layer", "p"))([map("o").to(toApp("Postman"))]),
	]),
])
