Adjusting the "Tapped Once Only" Timeout/Delay

Questions & Suggestions
1

I have two triggers.

Cmd+Opt+Shift+A (Once Only) :arrow_right: Perform Script
Cmd+Opt+Shift+A (Twice) :arrow_right: Launch Application

I'm just wondering if it's possible to change the amount of time that "Once Only" waits for a potential second trigger.

Feels a little too long for my preferences.

I spent over ten minutes looking, and couldn't find anything. I was hoping to find a setting you want on this page, which documents nearly 100 internal settings:

Or try this. Tap once, twice, three times or long press. As far as I can see, everything is adjustable. Works well and safely, thanks to noisneil.

Change MaxTapUpTime. In Terminal:

defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine MaxTapUpTime -float 0.5

...will set the delay to 1/2 a second.

You do have to quit and relaunch the Keyboard Maestro Engine for the change to take effect.

I thought I had read that page. Apparently I don't read as well as you do.

This is perfect!

Ended up with 0.2 that felt the best balance :slight_smile:

Thank you!
