Double-pressing the "Y" key to move window to the right without blocking the letter "y"

Hi everyone,

I'm using FastKeys, and I would like to set up a shortcut where double-pressing the Y key moves the currently active window to the left half of the screen – similar to Windows Snap Assist.
So far, I’ve managed to get the window movement working with a script. However, once I assign y as the hotkey, I can no longer type the letter y normally. It gets blocked completely.

Is there a way to: Detect a double press of y, but still allow normal typing of y when it's pressed once?

I’d really appreciate any suggestions – and I’d be especially happy if someone could provide a working script for this.

Thanks in advance.

Stefan

Enable the “Native” option when setting the shortcut.

Thank you for your response, Tom.
I noticed that the macro already exists in the collection under Command > Windows. So I was able to solve the problem. Thank you very much for your help!
