Gamepad controls\key maps - option for simultanious presses, long presses, double taps. #12425

I'm having a problem setting up a minimalistic mapping for anki using only the headphone buttons - vol up , down, and headphone key. using double taps, long holds, or simultanious inputs , I can execute all the actions I need with only 3 buttons.
for me it is crucial if i want to do listening card on walks, and also intuitively have all the keyboard shortcuts for flags, sync etc - using a comfortable maping.

The feature that would make mapping more individual - option for simulatanous inputs (A+B pressed together) , double taps (Pressing A, A. selecting the interval they need to be pressed apart for a new action to be assigned), long holds ( Press A for 2 seconds and it'll be assigned as a different input the can have its own action). a combo or long presses, and simultanious presses (press A+B for 2 secs for a unique action).

I have tried a different keymapping app that has those options "keymapper" on the playstore. I need to switch keyboards from the settings menu to use it so it's not convenient, and scrolling the view of a card using the joystick messes up with the input , since anki will target the answerbuttons after I scroll down, and then pressing my inputs does something else..

I like the Long press and Double tap ideas, and I believe that it is possible to do it.

Long presses won't be possible due to how WebViews processes long touches.

Double taps are simple to do

Is this true even if we consider passively listening to the events in Kotlin? I believe we get onKeyDown/onKeyUp the same as with any View

The user may be doing that for selecting text, or interacting with a HTML element, and it isn't possible to know that in Kotlin
