Release shift action

[a-metz]

My use case is to have \ and / on a single key.
To get a \ I want to press this key without shift.
To get a / I want to press this key while holding shift.

/ is non-shifted on the US layout and thus this would require multiple actions:

• temporally releasing shift
• press / key
• holding shift again to recreate the correct state

Looking at the code, I think I need a new Action which creates a CustomEvent::Release? I am pretty lost though, due to my unfamiliarity with Rust. Happy to dig in deeper with your guidance, though.

Instead of using a "Shift" key, why not make that key a new layer and shift everything on the layer except for the \ and /?

Keyberon don't allow you to modify all the state of the keyboard, so it is basically impossible (now) to release a pushed key. Such a feature is difficult to do cleanly and might produce a lot of subtil bugs.

So, if something like that is really needed, we need to be careful to design something well done.

The layer trick should be a good workaround.
