I wonder if this could be handled with an Emacs facility, e.g.:
; triggers when it's held less than 30 secs
(global-set-key [(hold < 30.0) (shift f4)] 'something)
; triggers when it's held 30 secs or more
(global-set-key [(hold >= 30.0) (shift f4)] 'something-else)
Just an idea... Forgive the noise if it's nonsense :)
