I've built a Lily58 pro with helios controllers and have been tinkering with it for the last month.

I have been trying to implement the QMK Caps Word feature but have been having problems getting it to work using the "Invert on shift" function. When double pressing Shift to activate Caps Word, time out doesn't work and Shift+'kc' does not produce lowercase letters as expected.

Caps Word functions as expected with #define CAPS_WORD_INVERT_ON_SHIFT commented out.

Is Invert on shift broken? Or am I missing something?

It's probably a bug of using DOUBLE_TAP_SHIFT... and INVERT_ON_SHIFT toghether, but I think you'll have better luck asking on the discord server...

There is a test you can do though:

double tap to activate
press any character key AND THEN
try to use the shift to de-capitalize

does it work then?

Thats what I was thinking. I tried multiple different tests and having INVERT_ON_SHIFT enabled breaks every time.

I don't use discord.
