Add HOLD key-binding functionality ex. Hold to open overlay

[thepragandsensdiary]

A long time ago I created custom csgo autoexec.cfg configs, I remember having the option to execute a command when a key is pressed and another command when the key is released.

• The .cfg file looked something like this

...
bind +g "+attack; "
bind -g "-attack;+jump"
...

Am I remembering correctly? I was 13 y/o lol. Anyways, you get the idea.

If implemented on niri it could make appear an overlay while holding and make it disappear after releasing Mod+<something> for example. Or the idea of making the screen completely white with maximum brightness to use it as a temporary Monitor lamp bar. I remember being pretty ingenious back in my day with that~.

It could be added as a parameter like repeat=<bool> or cooldown-ms=<num>~

Sorry for not having images or videos, sometimes programmer needs its eye candy. Sowwy, I'm finishing my niri complete rice :D I hope I'll finish soon~

Hey, there's no release binds yet in niri unfortunately.
