Using TapTap

TapTap is a lean and mean utility designed for the absolute minimal cpu use.  This is important because the monitoring of keypresses can slow down your computer if not highly optimized.

It's a very no-frills program, you simply set it and forget it, and it sits in the background (in your system tray in fact), and watches for special hotkey combinations (like a fast double-tap of the right shift key), and when it finds such events, it will convert them into a more standard hotkey event that other programs can understand.

To tell TapTap what events to detect, and what standard hotkey events to trigger when they are detected, you edit a configuration file, which is described in the next section (later we will add a configuration gui tool).  Remember that after you change the configuration file you need to restart the program in order to reload the changes.
