Understanding MOD-Tap and Setting it in MonsGeek Driver for HE Keyboards
Mod-Tap is a feature designed to enhance convenience for both gaming and productivity tasks. With Mod-Tap, a single keypress can trigger two functions: holding down the key for one action and pressing the key for another. It allows users to create dedicated or dual-functional keys based on their keypress behavior. This feature is particularly useful for compact keyboards, enabling efficient key combinations such as long-pressing the ESC key to output ~ or accessing the task manager with a specific key combination (Alt+Ctrl+Delete).
