Ignore keys with tap-hold

[bsvh]

I'm currently experimenting with the following setup:

(deflayer default
  grv  1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    0    -    =    bspc
  tab  q    w    e    r    t    y    u    i    o    p    [    ]    \
  @caps  @ac  @sa  @ds  g    h    @jm  @ks  @la  @;c  '    ret
  lsft z    x    c    v    b    n    m    ,    .    /    rsft
  lctl lmet lalt           spc            lctl      rctl
  )


(defvar
  tap-timeout 0
  hold-timeout 200
  tt $tap-timeout
  ht $hold-timeout
  )

(defalias
  caps (multi f24 (tap-hold $tt $ht esc lctl))
  ac  (multi f24 (tap-hold $tt $ht a lctl))
  ;c  (multi f24 (tap-hold $tt $ht ; rctl))
   sa (multi f24 (tap-hold $tt $ht s lalt))
   la (multi f24 (tap-hold $tt $ht l ralt))
   ds (multi f24 (tap-hold $tt $ht d lsft))
   ks (multi f24 (tap-hold $tt $ht k rsft))
   fm (multi f24 (tap-hold $tt $ht f lmet))
   jm (multi f24 (tap-hold $tt $ht j rmet)))

What I want is to hold the home row keys on one side as modifiers for keys on the other side of the keyboard. So, for Ctrt+Shift+x, I would hold ; and k and tap x. I'm liking how this feels, however there are a few problematic key combinations. Whenever I type li, it ends of being Alt+i due to my tendency to roll form l to i. Is there any way I could prevent this from happening? Ideally, the modifiers would only act on half of the keyboard.

Try the release-keys variant and see if that helps 🙂

Thanks for the fast reply! I also found tap-hold-except-keys which seems to be exactly what I am going for.
