Bug: modifiers in triggering sequence cause visible-backspaced to delete too many characters

[drowningnewt]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When doing sequences, visible-backspaced will delete the entire sentence rather than just deleting inputs related to a sequence.
If I had a sequence that outputted "you" and tried to type "qwerty you" it will output "you" instead.

Describe the solution you'd like.

A sequence input mode that had the no visual delay factor from waiting for a timeout to end like visible-backspaced but with the output of hidden-delay-type. For the example above, "qwerty you" would actually be outputted rather than deleting everything then outputting the sequence.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I've tried using hidden-delay-type, but I don't like having the visual delay from waiting for the sequence timeout to end before pasting the sequence leader on sequence termination.

The visible-backspaced option does behave in the desired manner in most cases. But since your sequence is ending on lalt, the fact that you're holding lalt means that the behaviour of the backspace keys changes.

There could be some code added to release all keys before outputting the sequence to fix this issue.

The workaround today is to not end sequences with a modifier key, and also ensure modifiers are released before ending a sequence.
