As of [PR#8591](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/8591/), it is possible to fire combos from ModTap keys and LayerTap keys. So in the above example you could have keys `LSFT_T(KC_A)` and `LT(_LAYER, KC_B)` and it would work. So Home Row Mods and Home Row Combos at same time is now a thing! ## Mod-Tap Support
[Mod-Tap](mod_tap.md) feature is also supported together with combos. You will need to use the full Mod-Tap keycode in the combo definition, e.g.:
It is also now possible to overlap combos. Before, with the example below both combos would activate when all three keys were pressed. Now only the three key combo will activate.
```c ```c
const uint16_t PROGMEM test_combo1[] = {LSFT_T(KC_A), LT(_LAYER, KC_B), COMBO_END}; const uint16_t PROGMEM test_combo1[] = {LSFT_T(KC_A), LT(1, KC_B), COMBO_END};
const uint16_t PROGMEM test_combo2[] = {LSFT_T(KC_A), LT(_LAYER, KC_B), KC_C, COMBO_END}; ```
## Overlapping Combos

```c
const uint16_t PROGMEM test_combo1[] = {LSFT_T(KC_A), LT(1, KC_B), COMBO_END};
const uint16_t PROGMEM test_combo2[] = {LSFT_T(KC_A), LT(1, KC_B), KC_C, COMBO_END};
combo_t key_combos[COMBO_COUNT] = { combo_t key_combos[COMBO_COUNT] = {
COMBO(test_combo1, KC_ESC) COMBO(test_combo1, KC_ESC)
COMBO(test_combo2, KC_TAB) COMBO(test_combo2, KC_TAB)
}; };
``` ```
Executing more complex keycodes like ModTaps and LayerTaps is now also possible.

By default, the timeout for the Combos to be recognized is set to 50ms. This can be changed if accidental combo misfires are happening or if you're having difficulties pressing keys at the same time.

## Buffer and state sizes ### Buffer and state sizes
If you're using long combos, or you have a lot of overlapping combos, you may run into issues with this, as the buffers may not be large enough to accommodate what you're doing. In this case, you can configure the sizes of the buffers used. Be aware, larger combo sizes and larger buffers will increase memory usage!

## Modifier Combos ### Modifier Combos
If a combo resolves to a Modifier, the window for processing the combo can be extended independently from normal combos. By default, this is disabled but can be enabled with `#define COMBO_MUST_HOLD_MODS`, and the time window can be configured with `#define COMBO_HOLD_TERM 150` (default: `TAPPING_TERM`). With `COMBO_MUST_HOLD_MODS`, you cannot tap the combo any more which makes the combo less prone to misfires.

For example, tap-only combos are useful if any (or all) of the underlying keys are mod-tap or layer-tap keys. When you tap the combo, you get the combo result. When you press the combo and hold it down, the combo doesn't activate. Instead the keys are processed separately as if the combo wasn't even there.

## Layer independent combos ### Layer independent combos
If you, for example, use multiple base layers for different key layouts, one for QWERTY, and another one for Colemak, you might want your combos to work from the same key positions on all layers. Defining the same combos again for another layout is redundant and takes more memory. The solution is to just check the keycodes from one layer.
