Is there a multi-tap key option for the keyboard?

Im a recent convert and returner to this fine keyboard. I wish I'd known about its layout editing options earlier! I have mostly used the almost perfect jbak2 keyboard before. I was wandering if you can designate characters and symbols to n number of taps? Example: android:codes="97,98,99,32". I coded the q key to be a question mark after three taps. Triple tapping e was an exclamation mark etc.

This is not possible at the moment and I can't think of an easy implementation. That's a good idea, though.

Contribution to the code welcome :)

Well Im afraid I have only learnt the bits of code I needed to program the jbak2 keyboard! I don't know any other code etc. Only that I'm editing xml files. When I needed to do a repetative task I could create a temporary keyboard with big keys to speed things up instead of write a script (only written two or three scripts so far). But if you have any ideas that involve tedious repetative tasks or debugging layouts - I can do that for sure. I probably will look into key tapping later but I think the 9 functions already available per key are way more than enough.
