Hi, Nicola. I will do my best to send out a description as to how this should be done soon. In the mean time, however, I did, some years ago now, write a description of how to modify the commands. This is a bit out of date now, I think, but may still be of use https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?fromgroups#!topic/viphone/5hHHgVzWEOk will find it. The command descriptor for double tap and hold is, I think, SimulateLongPress but you will probably want to check that with the keyboard file, I am relying on the organic solid state drive which, like its silicon counterpart, sometimes tends to lose information. HTH. Aman
