I have, in fact, tried this already. And I re-tested it just now to be sure. I could be wrong about the actual double-tap window duration (it may very well be even less than 200ms value I quoted but I wouldn't know how to time it accurately), but whatever it actually is, it is mightily brief. Too brief for my comfort, and I'm relatively nimble-fingered on a computer, so I can't imagine an older user getting by with it too well. But aye, I will bother Launchpad with it first. Thank you for your reply, though!
