From 28ff51175b6d45ce5a8dbfe7ed6e7a12df3bc8a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: precondition <57645186+precondition@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2020 23:11:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [Docs] Wording & formatting changes in the Tapping Force Hold section of the Tap Hold page + removed trailing whitespaces (#10391) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * Wording & formatting changes in Tapping Force Hold The Permissive Hold and the Ignore Mod Tap Interrupt sections were also modified to remove the quotes around "tapping". * Removed all trailing whitespaces from tap hold doc * "it's simply really:" → "it's simple really:" * "This allows to keep the ability" → "This allows keeping the ability" Used the gerund form of "to keep" in the Tapping Force Hold section of the Tap Hold docs.
