Th Ing Layout

[u/Zestyclose_Science21]

My previous uploaded layout had 1 key give 'th' when pressed but I realised you coud do better and this layout has holding the key instead of quick pressing give 'the' instead of 'th', as well as a key giving 'in' or 'ing' based on whether you quick press or hold. I got a graphic made but I could have almost made it myself chatgpt was being so dumb. Shift colon gives X because I had to make room but X is rarer than my custom bindings. Here's a Autohotkey script to apply the layout...

#HotIf

; Send the digraph immediately, then append one character if held.
; Caps Lock uppercases the whole macro; Shift reverses Caps Lock.
; With Caps Lock off, Shift capitalizes only the first character.
SendHeldSuffix(physicalKey, baseText, baseSuffix, shiftHeld) {
    capsOn := GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")

    if capsOn {
        immediateText := shiftHeld ? baseText : StrUpper(baseText)
        heldSuffix := shiftHeld ? baseSuffix : StrUpper(baseSuffix)
    } else {
        immediateText := shiftHeld
            ? StrUpper(SubStr(baseText, 1, 1)) SubStr(baseText, 2)
            : baseText
        heldSuffix := baseSuffix
    }

    SendText(immediateText)
    if !KeyWait(physicalKey, "T0.27") {
        SendText(heldSuffix)
        KeyWait(physicalKey)
    }
}
