I'm not able to make extend to stick #74

I have changed the alt+extend the charters that appear often in programming.
I want to tap AltGr+Caps to make it to stick, and then to press the button I want without staying on the extend key.
No matter what I do they don't seem to stick. My EPKL_Settings_Override as follow:

stickyMods = RShift,LShift,Alt,Caps

Does it mean I need to press all of them in order to stick?

even If I'm not changing anything in the settings (shift is in the default to stick)
shift+extend does not stick when I'm selecting one of the emojis.
Thanks for you awesome program!

"Caps" is not the Autohotkey name of a modifier key. So no wonder that doesn't work then. Also, CapsLock isn't a mod that could be made sticky since it's a toggle-type mod not a shift-type mod.

Alt is also not a mod that would work as sticky I think. It doesn't change shift states and it's handled specially by the system.

Not sure what you're trying to do, but did you want sticky Extend? Not sure that can be done, actually. Or have you misunderstood what "Sticky mods" means? It may look as if you're describing toggle mods not sticky mods. Sticky mods have a timer so if you tap the mod key then another key within the timer period, the other key becomes modified.

In sum, it would appear you're trying to do things that are impossible without rewriting EPKL. Maybe you could explain why you want to do this? There's often a different solution.
