Thanks for the suggestion. The problem I have with these two solutions 
is that they only work when the double triggers are in sequence. 
Sometime they arrive like this:

[hid] 0.7, written by Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans at eds.org> 
<mailto:hans at eds.org>
     compiled on Apr 15 2012 at 08:12:47
[hid] opened device 4 (/dev/input/event4): AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
print: key key_j 1
print: key key_l 1
print: key key_j 1
print: key key_l 1
print: key key_j 0
print: key key_j 0
print: key key_l 0
print: key key_l 0

So I would need to store the value of each key individually and check 
each one with [change].
Instead of this long-winded method, I've downloaded [linuxevent] which 
is working nicely so I think I'll stick with this even though it may be 
deprecated?

Surely this is a bug with [hid] though?
