Feature Request: delayed mapping/map timeout #23

Description

@JPTIZ

On my Linux setup, specially with vim/neovim, I have:

  • CapsLock and L Control keys swapped;
  • If CapsLock (physical key location) is pressed for less than ~300ms, then it is not mapped to L Control, but to Escape instead.

Or, in other words:

  • L Ctrl maps to CapsLock
  • CapsLock maps to:
    • L Ctrl if pressed for longer than 300ms;
    • Escape otherwise.

This allows me to quickly enter normal mode (nvim), cancel things, etc., with little movement from my left hand (and since a lot of keyboard shortcuts use Ctrl key, it is very useful to have Escape in the same place). Having this on Windows as well would be an awesome Windows experience.
