I am having trouble with an autohotkey script. What I want it to do is by physically holding down A on my keyboard I would like the script to tap mouse button4 and then hold down 1 for as long as I am holding down A for. When I release A I would like the script to release 1 as well.
My bad attempt at the script is
a::
send {Xbutton1}
sleep 10
Send {1 down}
While GetKeyState(a, "p")
Sleep 10
Send {1 up}
Return
The problem I am having is that the script is not holding down 1 as I am holding down A. Does anyone talented in ahk know how I can fix this?
a::
send {Xbutton1}
sleep 10
While GetKeyState("a", "p")
{
Send {1 down}
Sleep 10
}
Send {1 up}
Return

SC039::Send {LShift down}
SC039 Up::
Send, {LShift up}
Send, {Space}
Return
I expect this to do the following: when pressing the spacebar, it acts like the shift key. When I release it, I get one space bar press. Unfortunately, when I stay on the space bar, I get a bunch of spaces even though the key is never released. How can this expected behavior be implemented?
You need the * modifier(docs) so the hotkey is recongnized even if extra modifiers are held down (Shift)
Also, why are you using using the scancode?
*Space::SendInput, {LShift Down}
*Space Up::SendInput, {LShift Up}{Space}

Probably this is what you are looking for or even more.
When using three different methods of holding down the left mouse button:
Mouseclick, left, 0, 0, 1, , D, R
or
Send {LButton down}
or
Click down
the game I'm making a macro for logs me out complaining that I'm sending too many actions. I tested this by itself as a script, like:
F3::
Click down
return
So there's no chance other code is causing it.
I was wondering if there are any settings I can use (by settings I mean like CoordMode, Mouse, Screen) or any other solution to perhaps prevent whatever rapid event sending AHK is using to simulate a mouse button being held down. Is there any possible fix I can try? I'm open to testing any ideas.
Well, you could introduce a Sleep like so:
LButton::
while (GetKeyState("LButton", "P"))
{
MouseClick, left
Sleep, 100
}
return
Though I personally dislike binding the mouse click to behaviours via the same mouse click, as it can lead to results that are difficult to get out of.
Here's an example with a toggleable hotkey.
Insert::
SendInput, {LButton Down}
loop
{
Sleep, 100
if getkeystate("Insert", "p") ; Hold for a second as the Sleep will delay recognition.
{
SendInput, {LButton Up}
break
}
}
return
Edited per the comments:
Insert::
SendInput, {LButton Down}
KeyWait, Insert, D
SendInput, {LButton Up}
return
I'm kinda new at this. I have a mouse with only 3 keys that I'd like to write a script for to allow me to use the right mouse button like a "browser back" key if clicked, while still retaining the original function if held for a longer period of time.
RButton::
sleep 400
GetKeyState, state, RButton
if state = U
send {Browser_Back}
else
send {RButton}
keywait, RButton
return
Currently, all my script above does now is activates the "browser back" function, regardless of time held down. I think there's a problem with the key being repeated at the send {RButton} line, but adding a $ to RButton:: didn't seem to help (if it was supposed to, idk.) If I replace the 3 "RButton" instances (not including the one on the send line) with a key on the keyboard, it works perfectly though. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Adjusted the code from BlackHolyMan's response to fix it. In case anybody was curious or wanted it, here it is:
RButton::
KeyWait, RButton, U T0.5
If !ErrorLevel
{
send {Browser_Back}
return
}
else
{
send {RButton Down}
KeyWait, RButton
send {RButton up}
}
return
Hi this may be just about what you need
RButton::
KeyWait, RButton, U T0.5
If !ErrorLevel
send {Browser_Back}
else
{
send {RButton Down}
KeyWait, RButton
send {RButton up}
}
return
Still some things you may need to fix as i did not test it for long...
I'm attempting to send three keys (Alt, Shift, Q) at same time using this script:
:*:pk:: ;
Send, {AltDown}{ShiftDown}{qDown}
return
When I run this is it does not release the keys, it seems like the Alt button remains pressed. After the above keys are pressed I then want to press the "q" character again (separately, not at same time).
How can I amend my script above to achieve this?
When using Down, you must also send an Up to the same key or else it will remain pressed. This can be achieved like this:
:*:pk::
Send, {Alt Down}{Shift Down}{q Down}{Alt Up}{Shift Up}{q Up}
Send, {q}
Well i want to make a script with the objetive:
3{DOWN} key, and later hold or quickly press Z x3, and loop all that.
I have been trying to work with loop command but i just can't, im new with AutoHotkey and english it's not my native languague so it's been pretty hard.
Here is the code i tried but didn't work as i expect, since it press Z before the 3 {DOWN} keys.
#Persistent
SetTimer, Code, 150
Return
Code:
Send, Z{DOWN}
Return
If you know anyway to improve what i'm doing like, add a toggle like F8 to turn on/off, it would be aweosome.
Thanks for any help.
Helena.
Helena, What your script does right now is the following. As soon as the script starts it will start to send [Z] and [Arrow down] every 150 mili seconds. This is independent of what application is running at that time.
You write that you want to loop sending codes and that you want to toggle this ON/OFF.
Here is an example that comes closer to your goal.
#Persistent
F8:: ; This is your [F8] Toggle hotkey
If Toggle:=!Toggle ; Here you "test" the value of the variable "toggle" and after testing switch it to the opposite (true/false)
SetTimer, Trigger, -1 ; This is to create a separate thread for the loop. -1 means start in 1 ms but only do this one time, not every 1 ms's.
return
Trigger:
While (Toggle)
{
Send, +z{Down} ; + is the shift key, thus +z makes captial Z
Sleep, 500 ; Wait 500 ms (1/2 a second)
Send, +{z Down} ; Press Shift z Down. This will NOT start a repeat like ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Sleep, 500 ; Wait 500 ms (1/2 a second)
Send, +{z Up} ; Lift Shift z Up
Sleep, 1 ; Required. Without it The F8 keypress to toggle off can not be read anymore
}
Return
