Help with VIA macros? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I just got a cidooo v21 numpad, and was very excited to use macros for OBS.

I have been using alt-z for tap-to-talk in obs, and i set up layer 3 to be obs macros. I want "enter" to be tap to talk ie alt-z. When i press the enter key and keep it held, it only registers as a short tap. I even made sure the macro is set for keydown on both keys.

Whats the simplest way to have the macro report as held for the duration of me holding the enter key?

Edit: potential alternate solution: whats the best way to have different macros for the press and release of the enter key? That way i could simply unmute on press and mute on release

Not sure if VIA is advanced enough for that. If you're on Windows AutoHotKey might be the solution. You can also submit a bug report at VIA's github page.
