title: Hold-Tap Behavior
sidebar_label: Hold-Tap
---
## Summary
Hold-tap is the basis for other behaviors such as layer-tap and mod-tap.
Simply put, the hold-tap key will output the 'hold' behavior if it's held for a while, and output the 'tap' behavior when it's tapped quickly.
### Hold-Tap
The `tapping_term_ms` parameter decides between a 'tap' and a 'hold'.
By default, the hold-tap is configured to also select the 'hold' functionality if another key is tapped while it's active:
We call this the 'hold-preferred' flavor of hold-taps. While this flavor may work very well for a ctrl/escape key, it's not very well suited for home-row mods or layer-taps. That's why there are two more flavors to choose from: 'tap-preferred' and 'balanced'.
### Basic usage
For basic usage, please see [mod-tap](./mod-tap.md) and [layer-tap](./layers.md) pages.
### Advanced Configuration
A code example which configures a mod-tap setting that works with homerow mods:
```
#include <behaviors.dtsi>
#include <dt-bindings/zmk/keys.h>
/ {
behaviors {
hm: homerow_mods {
compatible = "zmk,behavior-hold-tap";
label = "HOMEROW_MODS";
#binding-cells = <2>;
tapping_term_ms = <175>;
flavor = "balanced";
bindings = <&kp>, <&kp>;
};
};
keymap {
compatible = "zmk,keymap";
default_layer {
bindings = <
&hm LCTRL A &hm LGUI S &hm LALT D &hm LSHFT F
>;
};
};
};
```
If this config does not work for you, try the flavor "tap-preferred" and a short tapping_term_ms such as 120ms.
If you want to use a tap-hold with a keycode from a different code page, you have to define another behavior with another "bindings" parameter.For example, if you want to use SHIFT and volume up, define the bindings like `bindings = <&kp>, <&kp>;`. Only single-argument behaviors are supported at the moment.
#### Comparison to QMK
The hold-preferred flavor works similar to the `HOLD_ON_OTHER_KEY_PRESS` setting in QMK. The 'balanced' flavor is similar to the `PERMISSIVE_HOLD` setting, and the `tap-preferred` flavor is similar to `IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT`.
