OKAY! I finally found some time and solved my problem.
(No, I haven't. See update).As IanB suggested I used AutoHotKey, created a script, compiled it
et voilĂ ... it works. Better than ever ;)
If anyone's interested, here's the AHK code:
; AHK Script to redirect Double-Shift to Ctrl+C and Double-Ctrl to Ctrl+V
; Idea came from this Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoHotkey/comments/44pn3m/double_tap_short_cut/
; done by daMax (//todamax.net)
Shift::
{
; MsgBox double-click Shift.
}
else
{
; no double-click. just wait for the key to be released and move on with your life
return
}
{
;MsgBox double-click Control.
}
else
{
; no double-click. just wait for the key to be released and move on with your life
return
}
This now seems to work in Windows Explorer, Notepad, Firefox etc.
I uploaded the finished EXE to my blog:
