Allow button press, hold and release

I really want to have more functionality of theme buttons.
HB already allow to select when the operation is being made (when the button is pressed or when released).

It would give more functionality if one could set different property-changes for button pressed/released/hold/double-tapped.

The last two would add nice functionality. If you need it now, you can already achieve it using scripting for the double tab and do something with the repeat function for the holding functionality. Lets say you need an action on a press and hold for at least 1 second, you could set the repeat delay to 1 second and just wait for the second action.

Smart keyboards allow DIFFERENT functionality for the same button.
For example:
- When the button is pressed and release, action#1 is performed
- When the button is pressed and hold, action#2 is performed
- When the button is double-pressed, action#3 is performed

All the actions are set at the *same* button.

I think that it would be nice to emulate this functionality with HB.
