| 195 | ## Custom Shifted Values | ||
| 196 | |||
| 197 | Especially on small keyboards, the default shifted value for many keys is not | ||
| 198 | optimal. To provide more customizability, there are two user-definable | ||
| 199 | functions, `autoshift_press/release_user`. These register or unregister the | ||
| 200 | correct value for the passed key. Below is an example adding period to Auto | ||
| 201 | Shift and making its shifted value exclamation point. Make sure to use weak | ||
| 202 | mods - setting real would make any keys following it use their shifted values | ||
| 203 | as if you were holding the key. Clearing of modifiers is handled by Auto Shift, | ||
| 204 | and the OS-sent shift value if keyrepeating multiple keys is always that of | ||
| 205 | the last key pressed (whether or not it's an Auto Shift key). | ||
| 206 | |||
| 207 | You can also have non-shifted keys for the shifted values (or even no shifted | ||
| 208 | value), just don't set a shift modifier! | ||

| 248 | ## Retro Shift | ||
| 249 | |||
| 250 | Holding and releasing a Tap Hold key without pressing another key will ordinarily | ||
| 251 | result in only the hold. With `retro shift` enabled this action will instead | ||
| 252 | produce a shifted version of the tap keycode on release. | ||
| 253 | |||
| 254 | It does not require [Retro Tapping](tap_hold.md#retro-tapping) to be enabled, and | ||
| 255 | if both are enabled the state of `retro tapping` will only apply if the tap keycode | ||
| 256 | is not matched by Auto Shift. `RETRO_TAPPING_PER_KEY` and its corresponding | ||
| 257 | function, however, are checked before `retro shift` is applied. | ||
| 258 | |||
| 259 | To enable `retro shift`, add the following to your `config.h`: | ||
| 260 | |||
| 261 | ```c | ||
| 262 | #define RETRO_SHIFT | ||
| 263 | ``` | ||
| 264 | |||
| 265 | If `RETRO_SHIFT` is defined to a value, hold times greater than that value will | ||
| 266 | not produce a tap on release for Mod Taps, and instead triggers the hold action. | ||
| 267 | This enables modifiers to be held for combining with mouse clicks without | ||
| 268 | generating taps on release. For example: | ||
| 269 | |||
| 270 | ```c | ||
| 271 | #define RETRO_SHIFT 500 | ||
| 272 | ``` | ||
| 273 | |||
| 274 | This value (if set) must be greater than one's `TAPPING_TERM`, as the key press | ||
| 275 | must be designated as a 'hold' by `process_tapping` before we send the modifier. | ||
| 276 | There is no such limitation in regards to `AUTO_SHIFT_TIMEOUT` for normal keys. | ||
| 277 | |||
| 278 | ### Retro Shift and Tap Hold Configurations | ||
| 279 | |||
| 280 | Tap Hold Configurations work a little differently when using Retro Shift. | ||
| 281 | Referencing `TAPPING_TERM` makes little sense, as holding longer would result in | ||
| 282 | shifting one of the keys. | ||
| 283 | |||
| 284 | `IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT` changes *only* rolling from a mod tap (releasing it | ||
| 285 | first), sending both keys instead of the modifier on the second. Its effects on | ||
| 286 | nested presses are ignored. | ||
| 287 | |||
| 288 | As nested taps were changed to act as though `PERMISSIVE_HOLD` is set unless only | ||
| 289 | `IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT` is (outside of Retro Shift), and Retro Shift ignores | ||
| 290 | `IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT`, `PERMISSIVE_HOLD` has no effect on Mod Taps. | ||
| 291 | |||
| 292 | Nested taps will *always* act as though the `TAPPING_TERM` was exceeded for both | ||
| 293 | Mod and Layer Tap keys. | ||

| 272 | |||
| 273 | [Auto Shift,](feature_auto_shift.md) has its own version of `retro tapping` called `retro shift`. It is extremely similar to `retro tapping`, but holding the key past `AUTO_SHIFT_TIMEOUT` results in the value it sends being shifted.
