How to make '@@' (@ doubletap) a shortcut to insert e-mail?

[THX1138]

I want to use a script to insert my e-mail address when I double tap the @ key whilst holding the shift key (the shift key needs to be held in order for the @ key to function as an @ key). I have copied the e-mail insert script from somewhere else, I just don't know what to put at the beginning? I guess it's not as simple as '@@'?

Code: Select all

::
Clipsave:=ClipboardAll ; save clip
Clipboard:="" ; empty clip
Clipboard := "[email protected]" ; put your email in clip
ClipWait ; wait
Send, ^v ; send paste
Sleep, 50 ; Wait a few ms
Clipboard:=Clipsave ; restore clip to not interrupt standard operation
return

Esc::ExitApp ; Failsafe exit

This should work for ya, keeps original functionality of @ but double tapping send your email.

Code: Select all

tapDelay := 450 ;time between taps to activate script, lower = must press faster
email := "[email protected]"

~@::
if (lastTap > a_tickcount) { ;if the time since last press is smaller than delay, activate
	sendinput {backspace 2}%email% ;send backspace twice, then email
}
lastTap := a_tickcount + tapDelay
return

I would consider doing just a hotstring. An auto-replace one at that: :*:@@::[email protected] The * option here makes it fire as soon as the second @ is pressed instead of waiting for ending punctuation or a space.

Thank you both for your responses. <3 Unfortunately, the first one doesn't seem to do anything on my machine but the second seems to work as intended.
