How to custom .bind a double-tap or hold for gamepads?

Is there correct way to edit the .binds file in notepad to achieve this? If I try in-game customising, all it ever registers is a single press, never the double-tap or hold of A/B/X/Y no matter how quickly or slowly I press!

A double-tap of Y to draw my 2ndary pistol would be most useful for example. Or hold Y to sheath weapon etc.
 
Some actions can be set to toggle or hold (hold would i.e. keep cargo scoop activated while the button is held). Double-tapping is not possible in ED.
You can try to remap keyboard bound actions as double-tap actions on your gamepad using tools such as Joystick Gremlin.

Another option is binding actions to a combination of keys such as B + D-Pad down for engage hyperdrive.
 
To clarify, for on-foot "humanoid" mode I meant. Anyway, I'm half way there now with;

<Primary Device="GamePad" Key="GamePad_LBumper">
<Hold Value="1" />

and i'm pretty sure there was a double-tap prompt that kept flashing up during the alpha phase?
