Keystroke emulation only when key is held down

[jachin99]

I want to assign two different actions to the green button on my mce remote. When I press it quickly, I want the start menu to appear, and when I hold it down for say two seconds, I want task view to appear. I am using the keystroke emulation function in event ghost to accomplish the later but I cannot figure out how to create the condition where it only executes my second task when it is held down. How do I add this context to my button press. To summarize what I just said I want:

Press green button normally = start menu
Hold green button down = task view.

I am using keystroke emulations for the green button = start menu actions, and I am trying to use keystroke emulations for the Hold green button down = task view as well. Should I be doing this another way?

There is an action you can add in eventghost that jumps to another macro if you keep pressing the button for a specific time.
It's under "EventGhost"

I've tried to configure this with double press, and long press. It looks like the macros are interfering with one another. Is this because I am trying to use the same different key for two macros?
Both macros tell EG to recognize my green button press.

Macro1 is green button press = WIN key
Macro2 is if green button is held down, {WIN+TAB}

I am thinking I should try to find a way to add the tab key to the button press but task view only shows up with WIN+TAB so how would I continue holding down the windows key

You need to take the Long press action, but you use it wrong.

Macro 2:
you assign the WIN + Tab key Emulation
(you assgn no Event to this macro)

Macro 1:
you assign the green button press Event,
then the Long press Action (you choose macro 2 in this Action),
then the WIN key Emulation Action

Now, if you just press the green button short macro 1 will be executed, and if you press it Long, macro 1 will Redirect the Event to maro 2 and macro 2 will be executed.
