You want "heading hold" when the driver is not commanding a turn, right? Use whatever joystick input commands the turn to turn off heading hold whenever it's not at neutral, and turn it back on again after the turn is finished. That could be as soon as the joystick is back at neutral, or it could be slightly delayed to account for the robot's inertia. See how the driver likes the handling with various amounts of delay in the reactivation of heading hold mode.
