Note that until the tap-or-hold decision completes (which happens when either the dual-role key is released, or the tapping term has expired, or the extra condition for the selected decision mode is satisfied), key events are delayed and not transmitted to the host immediately. The default mode gives the most delay (if the dual-role key is held down, this mode always waits for the whole tapping term), and the other modes may give less delay when other keys are pressed, because the hold action may be selected earlier.

### Default Mode
Example sequence 1 (the `L` key is also mapped to `KC_RGHT` on layer 2):
```
TAPPING_TERM
+---------------|--------------------+
| +-------------|-------+ |
| | LT(2, KC_A) | | |
| +-------------|-------+ |
| | +--------------+ |
| | | KC_L | |
| | +--------------+ |
+---------------|--------------------+
```
The above sequence would send a `KC_RGHT`, since `LT(2, KC_A)` is held longer than the `TAPPING_TERM`.
---
Example sequence 2 (the `L` key is also mapped to `KC_RGHT` on layer 2):
```
TAPPING_TERM
+-----------------------------|------+
| +---------------+ | |
| | LT(2, KC_A) | | |
| +---------------+ | |
| +--------------+ | |
| | KC_L | | |
| +--------------+ | |
+-----------------------------|------+
```
The above sequence will not send `KC_RGHT` but `KC_A` `KC_L` instead, since `LT(2, KC_A)` is not held longer than the `TAPPING_TERM`.
---
Example sequence 3 (Mod Tap):
```
TAPPING_TERM
+---------------------------|--------+
| +-------------+ | |
| | SFT_T(KC_A) | | |
| +-------------+ | |
| +--------------+ | |
| | KC_X | | |
| +--------------+ | |
+---------------------------|--------+
```
Based previous examples, you might have expected the output of the above sequence to be `KC_A` `KC_X`
since `SFT_T(KC_A)` is NOT held longer than the `TAPPING_TERM`.
However, the actual output would be capital `X` (`SHIFT` + `x`) due to reasons
explained under [Ignore Mod Tap Interrupt](#ignore-mod-tap-interrupt).

Normally, if you do all this within the `TAPPING_TERM` (default: 200ms), this will be registered as `al` by the firmware and host system. With the `PERMISSIVE_HOLD` option enabled, the Layer Tap key is considered as a layer switch if another key is tapped, and the above sequence would be registered as `KC_RGHT` (the mapping of `L` on layer 2). We could describe this sequence as a “nested press” (the modified key's key down and key up events are “nested” between the dual-role key's key down and key up events).

In the sequence above the dual-role key is released before the other key is released, and if that happens within the tapping term, the “permissive hold” mode will still choose the tap action for the dual-role key, and the sequence will be registered as `al` by the host. We could describe this as a “rolling press” (the two keys' key down and key up events behave as if you were rolling a ball across the two keys, first pressing each key down in sequence and then releasing them in the same order).

?> The `PERMISSIVE_HOLD` option also affects Mod Tap keys, but this may not be noticeable if you do not also enable the `IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT` option for those keys, because the default handler for Mod Tap keys also considers both the “nested press” and “rolling press” sequences like shown above as a modifier hold, not the tap action. If you do not enable `IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT`, the effect of `PERMISSIVE_HOLD` on Mod Tap keys would be limited to reducing the delay before the key events are made visible to the host. ?> The `PERMISSIVE_HOLD` option also affects Mod Tap keys, but this may not be noticeable if you do not also enable the `IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT` option for those keys, because the default handler for Mod Tap keys also considers both the “nested press” and “rolling press” sequences like shown above as a modifier hold, not the tap action.

Normally, this would send a capital `X` (`SHIFT`+`x`), even if the sequence is performed faster than the `TAPPING_TERM`. However, if the `IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT` option is enabled, the `SFT_T(KC_A)` key must be held longer than the `TAPPING_TERM` to register the hold action.
