Awesome NEW Feature for Planck EZ and Moonlander Keyboards: Tap Dance

Four events, one key. Let's explore ZSA's new feature for Planck EZ and Moonlander keyboards. With any keyboard feature that promises to offer multiple events based on tapping/holding etc I'm always a bit cautious due to how it can negatively affect the way the keys 'feel'.

Normally we are used to keys firing their tap event as soon as the key hits the actuation point at the bottom of the keystroke, but if the key has to check if you are holding the key, or double tapping, it has to hold back that event to rule those gestures out.

The Tap Dance feature does do some clever things to mitigate this though and we'll get into these here as well as looking at how the feature could be improved in the future.

Essentially Tap Dance lets you set up four events per key: normal tap, hold, double tap, or tap and then hold. The more you configure these the more it impacts the normal expected behaviour of your keys. In this video I explore the implications of that impact and look at where the best kind of use-cases for this feature are.
