Well, I have realized this strange thing with one app so far. Just wonder if 
that is a fault in the app itself, or if this is reproduceable with other apps 
as well. The app I experienced it with, was the Dropbox app. 

The app is shipped with the hotkey of Ctrl-Insert-D. You press the hotkey once, 
and one behavior is performed. You press the hotkey twice rapidly in sequence - 
double-pressing the hotkey - and another task is performed. This works pretty 
well.

Now, my problem is, that I wanted to switch to another hotkey. I opened 'script 
manager' (still on WE7.2). Then got to the hotkey manager, and entered my new 
hotkey, Shift-Insert-X. So far, everything went well.

When I closed the hotkey - and script manager, and wanted to test my new 
hotkey, the problem arose. I can press the new hotkey once, and the first task 
is carried out perfectly. But when double-pressing the hotkey, nothing like the 
second task is performed. Somehow, it seems to me,  that the hotkey manager did 
change the first press of the hotkey, but does not care to handle cases where 
the hotkey is set up for double-actions. Is this the case? And, since I am 
planning to use the same kind of double-acting hotkeys in one of my apps, is 
there a way for me to ensure that the user will be able to change his hotkey, 
and still have the double-action thereof? Or, could it be we here have run into 
a bug of Window-Eyes?
