I use a foot pedal that allows me to send up and down arrow commands. Which works find for scrolling the document window. Would it be possible to detect a double press of the pedal to do something else like restart the scrolling? Is a double up arrow even such a thing?

Thanks,
Dale

I've thought about trying to detect a double-click or long press from a foot switch, but haven't tried it yet. This is on my wish list and I'll let you know if I can do it.

In the new app version 2024-11-08 released today, you can trigger different actions with a button click, double-click or hold. This also works with MIDI buttons that send control change or note messages. You'll see this option when you click Settings > App Control > Actions > [action name] and then select Foot Switch (Keyboard) Messages, MIDI Controller Messages or MIDI Note Messages. Note that using any double-click actions will slow down the response of click actions by a half second and using any hold actions will slow down the response of the click actions by a second.
