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 voilà... it works. Better than ever ;)

If anyone's interested, here's the AHK code:

--- Code: Autohotkey ---; 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:: if (A_PriorHotkey = "Shift" AND A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 250) { ; MsgBox double-click Shift. Send, ^c } else { ; no double-click. just wait for the key to be released and move on with your life KeyWait, Shift return} Control:: if (A_PriorHotkey = "Control" AND A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 250) { ;MsgBox double-click Control. Send, ^v } else { ; no double-click. just wait for the key to be released and move on with your life KeyWait, Control return}
This now seems to work in Windows Explorer, Notepad, Firefox etc.

I uploaded the finished EXE to my blog:

You can also find the script there: http://blog.todamax.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/daMaxCopyPaste.ahk

Update: aahrg! It's no good :( now the Shift-Key doesn't work "on its own" anymore, so I cannot Shift keys at all. FAIL :(

@damax: Argh!! I don't think I was recommending that!!
Keep it simple. You don't need TapTap.
You might not need the ClipWait, but I put it in there just-in-case.
Try:

--- --->^m:: ; RightCtrl+m is to send <^c (COPY)
Send, ^c
ClipWait, 2 ; wait for up to 2 seconds for state change before proceeding, so as to ensure capture to clipboard
Return

>^n:: ; RightCtrl+n is to send <^v (PASTE)
Send, ^v
Return

By the way, I discovered that OkayKeybees v1.04a does not seem to work under Win10-64, so don't bother with it.

As I said, I can't actually test this to prove it as I have my RtCtrl key mapped to something else. You should be able to test it OK though, I think.
Do you need any help with editing your Autohotkey.ahk file?
If you do, then post it here as a generic script (press the # button whilst in edit mode, on the website).
There's lots of people here can help you.

@IanB: Ooooh. That's a nice and clean solution. Alas, I'd really like a Double-Tap-thing like it was in TapTap ('cos RCtrl+m and even worse RCtrl+n are still quite awkward key-combos to use), so I tried to do it with RapidHotKey. Which kinda works although it's quite an ugly script...
