Using CapsLock as an extension key while keeping it's original behavior

[WagnerGFX]

When using CapsLock to create an extension layer some may move it's original behavior to CTRL+CapsLock, ESC+CapsLock or move the key away entirely, but I am used to how CapsLock works so I wanted it to still behave normally when I pressed it alone.

This is a small snipped I created that makes a key's release state behave differently when used alone and when other keys were used before it's release.

I know there is another way to do something similar, but this is the most flexible way as the others I tried couldn't work with virtual keys.

Although each individual functionality is documented, I struggled a bit to gather everything together and create the code below, so I hope this helps anyone trying to create something similar.

I would recommend adding the snippet below to the wiki, or a simpler version of it.

ExtMode         = Virtual
ExtBypass       = Virtual
ExtKey          = CapsLock
ExtHold         = $0 >> !ExtBypass $1
ExtPrss         = $0 >> !ExtBypass $1 ^
ExtTgle         = $0 >> !ExtBypass $1 ^ $2

# These are example keys
MediaPlayPause  = 999
MediaVolumeUp   = 998
MediaVolumeDown = 997


[default]
# Enter ExtMode and ExtBypass states
ExtKey >>  ExtMode  ExtBypass ^

# If ExtBypass is still enabled: Release states and use the ExtKey default behavior
ExtBypass  !ExtKey >> !ExtMode !ExtBypass ExtKey

# If ExtBypass was disabled: Release states and do nothing else
!ExtBypass !ExtKey >> !ExtMode


[modifier = "ExtMode"]
# Any key pressed below will release ExtBypass and disable the original ExtKey behavior.
# Two virtual modifiers ensures that multiple keys can be used while ExtKey is held.
ExtTgle[A, MediaPlayPause, MediaPlayPause]
ExtHold[W, MediaVolumeUp]
ExtHold[S, MediaVolumeDown]

# Optional. Ignore unused combinations. Must be the last one.
ExtPrss[Any]
