Grave Escape

Key Alias Description
GRAVE_ESC KC_GESC Act as KC_ESC normally, or KC_GRAVE when GUI or Shift are held.

There are several possible key combinations this will break, among them Ctrl+Shift+Esc on Windows and Cmd+Opt+Esc on macOS. You can use these options in your config.h to work around this:

Option Description

GRAVE_ESC_CTRL_OVERRIDE Always send Escape if Ctrl is pressed.
GRAVE_ESC_GUI_OVERRIDE Always send Escape if GUI is pressed.
GRAVE_ESC_SHIFT_OVERRIDE Always send Escape if SHIFT is pressed.
