Possible to have Alt-Tab switching on a Function Key?

[drelephant]

This might be a question more than an issue...

Is it possible to have a layer switch key to act as the Alt key when held in ZMK?

ie so I can have a momentary layer key (for my movement layer with arrow keys/pgup/pgdn/etc), but also have keys on that layer to do Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift-Tab if you keep the layer key held.

eg see this QMK commit - it has a variable is_alt_tab_active that will keep it in the _NAV layer for as long as you keep the layer key held.

It's similar to super-alt-tab on QMK.

See #997 (comment), it is currently possible with a PR.

Thanks for pointing me to that. That's good that it seems possible, because it's something I use quite often.

Hmm, seems pretty complicated, I'm completely new to ZMK and just about to try with an nrf52840... Hopefully I'll understand it once I get started.

Feel free to ask for help once you get started, I and others would be happy to help over at the official Discord server.

Thanks very much, still designing the hardware but soon!
