Hello

I am using mouth mouse with pretty limited options. I can only do left or right click with sip and puff gestures. Therefore timed actions with Button held function are very useful for me. But when I want to assign simulated keystrokes to button held, send methods seven and eight (sticky hold and sticky repeat) are not available in the drop-down menu. When I assign the same simulated keystrokes to simple click all send methods 1-9 become available. Is there any inherent reason for his behavior?
Intended use is for example to toggle shift button with long LMB press. There is probably some way to achieve this using layers, but I am looking for the simplest solution to avoid future conflicts with other stuff.

Thank you for your time and all the effort you put into this program

Yes it is intentional. because if you are using button held, then it was to prevent you choosing a sticky where it could confict with the button still being held down. But now I'm thinking about it, I cant see why it would not work, at least with the final button held action maybe. But there must have been a good reason to remove those options, so I may have simply forgotten the reason - I'll have to revisit it to figure that out!

I can see how this could be problematic. Maybe if there was a command to release all held buttons that I could place as a prefix to normal click ? Something like {release all}{LMB} instead of simple left click. But I assume if there is no other command in succession after toggled action, it shouldn't cause issues, no ?
