#layer mod changes back to original layer incorrectly when using multiple lm keys

Hey, when using the lm macro from the zmk docs I've noticed that if you have multiple lm keys setup for a single layer if you press 2 or more of them and then release one, the layer gets removed while youre still holding a lm key.

I have my keyboard setup to go to a qwerty layer when any of the modifiers (except shift) is pressed; sometimes I go to press something like meta+i to go to settings but I accidentally tap and release alt and it goes to the original layer and presses meta+L instead, locking my pc. does anyone know of a good way to fix this behaviour? I think having a separate duplicated layer for each modifier could work but thats a bit janky.

I was also thinking that if there is a way to check for the other keys being released before releasing the layer? something along the lines of this:
lm: lm {
compatible = "zmk,behavior-macro-two-param";
wait-ms = <0>;
tap-ms = <0>;
#binding-cells = <2>;
bindings
= <&macro_param_1to1>
, <&macro_press &mo MACRO_PLACEHOLDER>
, <&macro_param_2to1>
, <&macro_press &kp MACRO_PLACEHOLDER>
, <&macro_pause_for_release>
, <&macro_param_2to1>
, <&macro_release &kp MACRO_PLACEHOLDER>
, <&macro_param_1to1>
// if all modifiers are released
, <&macro_release &mo MACRO_PLACEHOLDER>
// else
// return
;
};

All of the modifiers go to the same layer?
...Have you considered adding plain modifiers on that layer instead of allowing the keypress to fall through and hit your &lm macro?
Ah, I was thinking of my nav layer

I ended up trying having a duplicated layer for each lm key, which does work, although not the most elegant solution it'll be good enough for me. I might look into the layer locking you linked in the future if it gets added
