-This makes it easier for fast typists to use dual-function keys. Without this, if you let go of a held key inside the tapping term, it won't register.
+This makes tap and hold keys (like Mod Tap) work better for fast typist, or for high `TAPPING_TERM` settings. 
 
-Example: (Tapping Term = 200ms)
+If you press a Mod Tap key, tap another key (press and release) and then release the Mod Tap key, all within the tapping term, it will output the "tapping" function for both keys.

-- KC_X Down
-- KC_X Up
-- SHFT_T(KC_A) Up

-With defaults, if above is typed within tapping term, this will emit `ax`. With permissive hold, if above is typed within tapping term, this will emit `X` (so, Shift+X).

-# Mod tap interrupt
+Normally, if you do all this within the `TAPPING_TERM` (default: 200ms) this will be registered as `ax` by the firmware and host system. With permissive hold enabled, this modifies how this is handled by considering the Mod Tap keys as a Mod if another key is tapped, and would registered as `X` (`SHIFT`+`x`). 
 
-When a dual role key used for a modifier is quickly followed by another keys, it is interpreted as held even before the tapping term elapsed.  This is a problem if a key is used for example inside a rolling combo because the second key will be pressed before the first key is released.
+?> If you have `Ignore Mod Tap Interrupt` enabled, as well, this will modify how both work. The regular key has the modifier added if the first key is released first or if both keys are held longer than the `TAPPING_TERM`.
 
-For example, when trying to type the rolling combo "zx" and z being configured to send Ctrl when hold, z rapidly followed by x actually sends Ctrl-x. That's bad.
+# Ignore Mod Tap Interrupt
 
-You can disable this behavior by defining `IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT` in `config.h`.
+To enable this setting, add this to your `config.h`:
 
-Note that this only concerns modifiers and not layer switching keys.
+```c
+#define IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT
+```
 
-# Hold after tap
+Similar to Permissive Hold, this alters how the firmware processes input for fast typist. If you press a Mod Tap key, press another key, release the Mod Tap key, and then release the normal key, it would normally output the "tapping" function for both keys. This may not be desirable for rolling combo keys. 
 
-When the user holds a key after tap, this repeats the tapped key rather to hold a modifier key.  This allows to use auto repeat for the tapped key.  If you prefer to hold a modifier instead, define `TAPPING_FORCE_HOLD` in `config.h`.
+Setting `Ignore Mod Tap Interrupt` requires  holding both keys for the `TAPPING_TERM` to trigger the hold function (the mod).

+For Instance:
+
+- `SHFT_T(KC_A)` Down
+- `KC_X` Down
+- `SHFT_T(KC_A)` Up

+Normally, this would send `X` (`SHIFT`+`x`). With `Ignore Mod Tap Interrupt` enabled, holding both keys are required for the `TAPPING_TERM` to register the hold action. A quick tap will output `ax` in this case, while a hold on both will still output `X`  (`SHIFT`+`x`).
