Active shift/alt prevents going to meta layers if no meta#-shift/alt is defined

[bachp]

To reproduce the problem do the following:

We have the following layers defined:
default
default-shift
meta1

If the currently active layout is default-shift and i click on the meta1 the keyboard doesn't do anything. This is due to the fact that it tries to go to meta1-shift which doesn't exist.

The solution to this problem I propose would be to automatically change shift to inactive whenever a meta key is pressed.
What do you think about this approach?

Is it possible to extend stickyShift so that disables shift on meta key press too? So that if you are on default-shift and click the meta1 key it would always go to meta1 instead of meta1-shift. I think this would be a more consistent behavior for stickyShift=false.

Hi Pascal-bach!

Sure! I like your approach, it sounds more intuitive... I just updated the plugin to version 1.8.13 :)

Hi Mottie, the switching between meta layers with shift is now working. Thanks.

I however noticed a bug or inconsistency in the new stickyShift handling. When you to a meta layer the shift key gets released. However if you switch back from a meta layer to the default layer the shift key stays.

Hi Pascal-bach!

Ok, I fixed the problem in the latest update - now 1.8.14. Hopefully with the other changes, I didn't introduce any new bugs o.O LOL

Ok the problem seems fixed now. Thanks again for your work.
