This sounds very useful, but I have been unsuccessful getting it to work. I want to get a caps-lock effect so I can tap multiple capital letters in a row.
When I am in touch typing mode, I touch the Shift key with one finger, keep my finger in place, and then use another finger to tap twice. My taps only toggle the shift on/off and does not cause a caps-lock result. I tried various speeds for the double tap with the second finger, with no change in results. I did the same in standard typing mode, and got the same result. I also tried double-tap & hold on the shift, and then tapping with a second finger. No good. What am I missing?
