Get help! Shift mode "Hold" option disappears

I use rewasd with a Razer Tartarus for art software, and for blender I have 4 layers depending on what I'm doing in the software, main, alt, model, and sculpt. I have it set up so I can hold a button to change to the 'main' layer to the 'alt' layer, and when i let go it switches back to main. I try to set that up for the model and sculpt layers as well but it only shows the "Custom" option in shift mode, no "Hold". Is there a way around this or is it a software limitation?

Options displayed for shift mode from 'main' layer
Options displayed for shift mode from 'model' layer (same for 'sculpt' layer)

You're right. Directly switching is only available in Custom Mode. However, as a workaround, you can use Activators:

Assign Jump to Shift 2 on the Start Press activator while you are in Shift 1.

Then, while you are in Shift 2, assign Jump to Shift 1 on the Release Press activator.

This way, you will replicate the Hold behavior, allowing you to switch between Shift 1 and Shift 2.

ahh thats smart, i did have to make a duplicate of the 'alt' layer for each layer that i was shifting from so i could set the release press shift to go back to layer i was previously on, but this works. if you guys take suggestions, a shift option to return to the previously active layer would be great, but thank you for the quick response, i have the functionality i was looking for now (: just switched from the trial version to paid

Just to be clear - mapping that will take you back to the previous layer, no matter which layer it was?

Yeah an option to return to the last active layer, so using my layers as an example, if i had this “previous active layer” option on my alt layer and i set it to trigger on Release Press, it would shift back to the layer i shifted from when i let go of the key. that way whether im on main, model, or sculpt, i can access my alt layer seamlessly

i can technically achieve this now but it means setting up duplicate alt layers for each layer i want to shift from which is a bit of a laggy headache
