Toggle layer until an idle timeout has been reached

[kovasap]

I'd like to try toggling a layer until a configurable number of seconds has elapsed, at which point the layer would toggle off. Is there any way to do this in zmk currently?

Not exactly as described. Sticky layers have a timeout but they'll also deactivate the layer before the timeout if any keycode is sent.

Right, I use those already!

I think a clever application of the tri-state behavior (#1366, also available as a module) using the timeout-ms property and &tog bindings might work for this. But you might need to set ignored-* properties as well.
