If anyone is interested. Here's the script I got for using double tap Alt.
Seems to be working with no conflicts so far

endKeys := "{BS}{Enter}{Insert}{Home}{Pgup}{PdDwn}End}{Delete}"
     . "{F1}{F2}{F3}{F4}{F5}{F6}{F7}{F8}{F9}{F10}{F11}{F12}"
     . "{LShift}{RShift}{Tab}{Esc}{CAPSLOCK}{Ctrl}{PrintScreen}{NumLock}"
     . "{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}"
     . "{Numpad7}{Numpad8}{Numpad9}{NumpadDel}{Up}{Down}{Left}{Right}"
     . "{LAlt}{RAlt}{.}{,}{/}"

~Alt Up::
    Input, key, V L1 t0.5 E, % endKeys
    If (Errorlevel ~= "Alt") {
        Double_ALT := true
        Sleep 2000
        Double_ALT := false
    }
return

; Press a key within two seconds after double tapping the Alt key, to activate an action:
#If (Double_ALT)
    a:: MsgBox, Test a
    b:: MsgBox, Test b
    c:: MsgBox, Test c
    d::
    FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,,MM/dd/yy - hh:mmtt
    SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
            Double_ALT :=false
return
return

Thanks for the feedback. Yea, we just wanted to find a universal "activator" for the company so that when following it by any letter, it would trigger different macros. Everything we try seems to have some kind of conflict. We wanted to use one that would be easy like SHIFT/SHIFT... But i guest it's not that easy. Recommendations appreciated.

Love it. Thanks!
I thought that this approach seemed more stable but I couldn't figure out how to replace it with Alt.
Using Alt, endKeys i don't think would be necessary because no one would ever double tap Alt.
I'm also posting on StackOverflow and will post back here if I get any results.

~Alt Up::
    Input, key, V L1 t0.5 E, % endKeys
    If (Errorlevel ~= "Alt") {
        Double_Alt := true
        Sleep 2000
        Double_Alt := false

Thanks so much. I think you're solution is best. Using "Alt" should make that anomaly a non-issue. Do you know how I can get it to work with the following script? I've replaced "Shift" with "Alt" but can't get it to work.

endKeys := "{BS}{Enter}{Insert}{Home}{Pgup}{PdDwn}End}{Delete}"
     . "{F1}{F2}{F3}{F4}{F5}{F6}{F7}{F8}{F9}{F10}{F11}{F12}"
     . "{LShift}{RShift}{Tab}{Esc}{CAPSLOCK}{Ctrl}{PrintScreen}{NumLock}"
     . "{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}"
     . "{Numpad7}{Numpad8}{Numpad9}{NumpadDel}{Up}{Down}{Left}{Right}"

~Alt Up::
    Input, key, V L1 t0.5 E, % endKeys
    If (Errorlevel ~= "Alt") {
        Double_Alt := true
        Sleep 2000
        Double_Alt := false
    }
return

; Press a key within two seconds after double tapping the Shift key, to activate an action:
#If (Double_Alt)
    d::
    FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,,MM/dd/yy - hh:mmtt
    SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
            Double_Alt :=false
            return
    a:: MsgBox, Test
    s:: MsgBox, Test
    f:: MsgBox, Test
return

I'm going to try to go with your suggestion.
I replaced "Shift" in the script with "Alt" but that's apparently not sufficient.
Can you give me any guidance or show what needs to be done to convert it from "Shift" to "Alt" ?

thank you. That's a good suggestion. I'll talk to my boss boss to see if we can do that instead. Shift just seemed like a bigger easier button. The code you have above is not what I'm using. It's modified a little as below....

endKeys := "{BS}{Enter}{Insert}{Home}{Pgup}{PdDwn}End}{Delete}"
     . "{F1}{F2}{F3}{F4}{F5}{F6}{F7}{F8}{F9}{F10}{F11}{F12}"
     . "{LShift}{RShift}{Tab}{Esc}{CAPSLOCK}{Ctrl}{PrintScreen}{NumLock}"
     . "{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}{Numpad0}"
     . "{Numpad7}{Numpad8}{Numpad9}{NumpadDel}{Up}{Down}{Left}{Right}"

~Shift Up::
    Input, key, V L1 t0.5 E, % endKeys
    If (Errorlevel ~= "Shift") {
        Double_SHIFT := true
        Sleep 2000
        Double_SHIFT := false
    }
return

; Press a key within two seconds after double tapping the Shift key, to activate an action:
#If (Double_SHIFT)
    d::
    FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,,MM/dd/yy - hh:mmtt
    SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
            Double_SHIFT :=false
            return
    a:: MsgBox, Test
    s:: MsgBox, Test
    f:: MsgBox, Test
return

Thanks. I'll check out the tap tap program. Maybe that will work. I actually got bug 1 fixed with the following code suggested in Stackoverflow. But i still have the problem with bug 2. I'm putting the link to it here:  My issue on StackOverflow

I'm trying to complete an autohotkey script where you can double tap any SHIFT key twice and follow it by a certain letter to activate a macro.
I have the following script but i have two "bugs" i can't figure out how to solve. I've tried other forums with no luck. Hoping someone can help me out.
I'm a little new at this.

Bug 1:  The macro is activated if you press any letter in between the two SHIFTs where it should only be activated if you press the SHIFTs exclusively. For example, pressing SHIFT, s, SHIFT, d will enable the macro.

Bug 2:  I'm not sure how this happens but with the following code, I periodically get all or some of the macros to activate while i'm typing. It seems to happen when I type the first capital letter in a sentence. But only sometimes. For example... "bla bla bla profiles. S"

I've fooled around with the timeouts but that doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff.


~Shift Up::
If (A_ThisHotkey == A_PriorHotkey && A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 400)
{
    Double_SHIFT := true
    Sleep, 2000
    Double_SHIFT := false
}
return

; Press a key within two seconds after double tapping the Shift key, to activate an action:
#If (Double_SHIFT)
    d::
    FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,,MM/dd/yy - hh:mmtt
    SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
            Double_SHIFT :=false
            return
    a:: MsgBox, Test
    s:: MsgBox, Test
    f:: MsgBox, Test
return
