Delay in the tap part of tap-hold

[paniash]

Hi!

I recently came across kmonad and was wondering if this is a common issue and if so, how I could rectify it.

I'm remapping capslock to act as escape when tapping and ctrl when holding. The holding part works just as expected. However, when tapping capslock, there is a noticeable delay for the escape to act. Not deal-breaking, but noticeable compared to if I just remap capslock to act as escape all the time.

Here's the line in my config:

(defalias
  axx (tap-hold 300 esc lctl)     ;; Long delay for easier testing
)

With @axx going at the position of the capslock key in the deflayer section.

I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!!
