Holding mouse button holds back keyboard keys

[bwachtendorf]

I am not sure if this is a bug, missing feature or me just not understanding the documentation correctly.

Example config:

[title="Visual Studio Code"]
Numpad0 >> ButtonLeft{5000ms}

What I want:

1. Press Numpad0 button
2. Hold down mouse ButtonLeft for X seconds
3. Continue getting keyboard keys

Whats is happening:

1. Press Numpad0 button
2. ButtonLeft is held down
3. Keys are not received
4. ButtonLeft is released
5. All pressed keys appear

In a perfect world I would also like to press Numpad0 again to release ButtonLeft early.

I would appreciate any help with this.

For concurrent output one needs to utilize keymapperctl. This should work:

ButtonLeftPressed = Virtual
ButtonLeftPressed >> ButtonLeft
Numpad0 >> $(keymapperctl --press ButtonLeftPressed --wait 5000 --release ButtonLeftPressed)

Yes, this should be documented somewhere and keymapperctl should be able to press/release non-virtual keys. I will put it on my list.
