best way to release the shift modifier in a remapped shifted key

[jvlara]

I would like to remap a key to its shifted version, but I want the behavior to invert when the Shift key is held down. For example, in my default layer, I have an S-key. However, when Shift is held, it does not 'unshift' the key to its normal state.

I have reviewed the documentation, and i found two solutions

1. Creating a completely separate layer for the Shift state and remapping the key there
2. Using fork and unmod

uscor (unmod /)
unsc (fork S-/ @uscor (lsft))

is there a better way to achieve this?

I think this discussion has a similar use case:
#932

Use of the fork action can be used to remove the second layer as you found.

As for which one is best, I don't use nor have I used this type of configuration so I don't have any judgment from a practical perspective. From an ideological perspective though I weakly favour the shifted layer+unmod over fork+unmod, for nebulous reasons.
