Ability to execute a macro on layer-shift or dual-function

[jacott]

At present I can't hold down a key to shift to a new layer while also sending a key press to the computer

I would like to be able to select a macro to play as part of holding down a key to change layers. Ideally a macro could also be played on releasing a key.

The keyd utility has this functionality in functions called layerm(<layer>, <macro>), oneshotm(<layer>, <macro>) and others. In fact keyd has a bunch of features that would be nice in Bazcor.

I suggest adding config for run-macro-on-press and run-maro-on-release which could be attached to any other config for a key.

Another way this might be achieved is in the macro itself: a token could be added once anywhere in the sequence called wait-for-key-release. More macro features would be needed like toggle/untoggle-layer (in addition to lock-to-layer) so that the original layer can be restored on key-release.
