ifRelease never evaluates true while postponing keys

[firngrod]

The following macro will never quit

postponeKeys while (1) {
    ifReleased break
    tapKey x
    delayUntil 20
}

So far I'm sure it's because this line never evaluates to true.

I may investigate further.

I will look into it.

The ifReleased command is inherently ambiguous about its semantics.

This might easily have been the intended behavior 🤦.

[firngrod]

I doubt it's intended. Also, it worked somewhat recently.

[firngrod]

Would it make sense to ask the postponer about whether postponing is happening? I have had cases where ifReleased didn't work because something else was postponing. Might theoretically cause deadlocks?

[kareltucek]

Commands like these usually have special cases built in for postponing, although the question is usually "am I postponing" rather than a general "is someone postponing".

[firngrod]

Yeah, I can see that someone else may want to specifically postpone effects of releases, although I still haven't given up on not postponing releases of pre-postpone presses. Either way, I am certain that the case presented in this issue is a bug.
