Is there are support meta or leader key? about skhd

You can use modes for that. Make ctrla activate your mode, then make d trigger your desired action when in that mode. The example configuration has lots of bits that you can piece together to do this.

Ok. I tried your setup. Works as well. But I not sure that its working similar to tmux or vim etc.

How I can define action in some test mode with executing command and immediately exit to default mode?

# from 'default' mode, activate mode 'test'
alt - d ; test
# from 'test' mode, activate mode 'default'
test < alt - d ; default # there is exit to default without executing command

test < j : chunkc tiling::window --focus south; default # executing command only. We are stay in test mode still

according docs

@ = capture keypresses regardless of being bound to an action

but action has not sample exec command and exit mode

## action   = <keysym> ':' <command> | <keysym> '->' ':' <command>
##                                  <keysym> ';' <mode>    | <keysym> '->' ';' <mode>

Your issue is in this line:

test < j : chunkc tiling::window --focus south; default # executing command only. We are stay in test mode still

Everything after the : is being executed as a shell command.

Instead what you want to have is this:

# toggle mode "test" using alt-d
alt - d ; test
test < alt - d ; default

# execute command in mode "test", then leave mode by simulating alt-d keypress
test < j : chunkc tiling::window --focus south; skhd -k "alt - d"
