I am currently using mod tap to set esc to ` when held. This works ok. However I wanted to find a more seamless way to bind shift + esc to ~. Is there any way to retain shift functionality, but when shift is held, esc becomes `?
#Any more seamless way to do Shift+Esc for ~?

For context I had a Ducky One 2 SF that included this functionality. When doing shift and esc, a tilde (~) would be printed.

I also saw some qmk posts related to this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/olkb/comments/axswwx/help_qmk_question_shift_esc_tilde/
This should be possible on the 60he keyboard right?
idle osprey
no this is a special qmk key that doesnt actually exist
raven sinew
Understandable. Is there any way to mimic its functionality or for a similar feature to eventually get implemented? This is a pretty important key for me.
Is the 60he MCU not powerful enough or is there some other issue?
idle osprey
its more than powerful enough
but historically we tried to adhere to as much of the HID spec as possible including that shift+esc should send shift+esc to your pc
not shift+~ instead
raven sinew
shift + `*
makes sense yes, sadly its causing limitations in the features of the keyboard :(
idle osprey
like i said this is historically
we are making some major changes to how we do keyboard stuff with wootility v5 and the 80he
and maybe also do some other changes
but no promises
raven sinew
Thanks for this info, I will be looking forward to the wootility v5 beta / release. All good if the feature isn't there tho - I understand it's originally not a feature which would be considered in your wootility featureset

Might be a dumb question but how do you currently access the tilde key? Just ordered a 60he and I use Linux a lot for coding and was curious about your binding situation
raven sinew
Yeah I'm a Linux user too. By default it can be accessed on the US layout with FN1 + Shift + Esc.
As a workaround method to get tilde under a 2 key combo instead of a 3 key, I binded Tab on my FN Layer 1 to DKS with L-Shift and Backtick (`). This allows me to access tilde with fn1 + tab.
DKS setup here.
spare mountain
shiii alr ima try that too hahahaha tysm
raven sinew
no problem. It works better than you'd think. Still not exactly what I wanted (shift + esc), but close enough that I can be happy :)
spare mountain
i'll let you no how it goes when i get it in a few days hahahhaha

@raven sinew Could you help me set up things with the wooting? Just got mine today and I am a little confused as to how to create mappings sand profiles?
spare mountain
Yeah so like how exactly do the profiles work? I'm a little confused about profile switching? I'm assuming its activated by holding down the fn key?
Starting looking at the function remappings asnd I realized that tilde doesn't show up either???
I only see backtick
nvm i figured it out hahahaha
sorry mb
raven sinew
Yeah so like how exactly do the profiles work? I'm a little confused about profi...
profiles aren't related to the fn layers.
raven sinew
nvm i figured it out hahahaha
lol yeah it was a litrle confusing for me at first too lol
glad u got it figured out
spare mountain
Yeah hahahaha
Is it okay if I dm you if I have anymore questions in the following weeks/days?
muted dust
be smart about it, use mod tap for that like i do
tap and it's ~, hold for 0.25 sec and it's esc
raven sinew
Yeah hahahaha
Is it okay if I dm you if I have anymore questions in the followin...
Sure
raven sinew
be smart about it, use mod tap for that like i do
Dks works better for me, more seamless
raven sinew
but no promises
hey there! I know you said no promises, but wootility v5 is out and stuff now, wondering if theres still a possibility for it to ever get implemented or if its out of the question for now :)
thanks so much!
