So in this case I am asking AHK to press shift twice with the following functions.
ShiftPress(delay){
send {Shift Down}
Sleep, delay
send {Shift Up}
Sleep, delay
}
ShiftPressTwice(delay){
ShiftPress(delay)
ShiftPress(delay)
}
For this set of keys (Not sure if this is the best way to iterate over a set of keys, only using examples I have found online)
w::
a::
s::
d::
1::
2::
3::
4::
5::
Space::
ShiftPressTwice(10)
while GetKeyState("Space")
{
Sleep, 10
}
Return
My thought is the above code is bit like switch case fall through, then it should call my function ShiftPressTwice(delay) one time, then hit the GetKeyState(key) loop and sleep then bail. What happens is this seems to run in a endless loop. Please let me know if you have any questions.
w::
a::
s::
d::
1::
2::
3::
4::
5::
Space::
ShiftPressTwice(10)
KeyWait %A_ThisHotkey%
Return

I'm trying to make an AutoHotkey script that holds Shift, and while it's holding it I need the mouse to click and release every second. This is what I have come up with so far.
Home::
KeyDown := !KeyDown
If KeyDown
SendInput {Shift down}, Click, Sleep 2000
Else
SendInput {Shift up}
Return
This loop after a certain amount of time behavior is best implemented with a SetTimer function invoking a Subroutine.
Additionally, since your script holds down the Shift key, you would need to also have the hotkey be invoked whenever Shift+Home is pressed as well, so that it can be turned off.
Final Code:
Home::
+Home:: ;Alternative hotkey definition that invokes on Shift+Home
KeyDown := !KeyDown
if (KeyDown){
SendInput {Shift down}
gosub, clickSubroutine ;To trigger the first click immediately
SetTimer, clickSubroutine, 1000 ;To trigger clicks after every 1000 ms (1 second)
}
else{
SendInput {Shift up}
SetTimer, clickSubroutine, Off ;Turn off the clickSubroutine Loop
}
Return
clickSubroutine:
Click
return
Below is an alt+tab program I wrote that, for some reason, won't work.
while x = 1
{
mb1 := GetKeyState(j)
mb2 := GetKeyState(k)
if (mb1 = 1) and (mb2 = 1)
{
Send, {Alt Down}
Send, {Tab Down}
sleep, 50
Send, {Alt Up}
Send, {Tab Up}
}
}
I've tried multiple methods of the loop and key detection to no avail.
You do not need to store the value of the keystate in a variable prior to the if-statement; you can check them during the if-statement itself.
So, you could implement this change with something like this:
Loop
{
if (GetKeyState("j") && GetKeyState("k"))
{
Send, {Alt Down}
Send, {Tab Down}
sleep, 50
Send, {Alt Up}
Send, {Tab Up}
}
}
However, if you need to save the value of the KeyStates for some reason, there are a couple of ways to do this:
Just save the values from the GetKeyStates while you are checking them in the if-statement.
Note: For both variables to always update every iteration, you need to replace the efficient && with the less efficient &, since the && will stop checking variables as soon as it determines the expression will be false.
This would look something like:
Loop
{
if (mb1:=GetKeyState("j") & mb2:=GetKeyState("k"))
{
Send, {Alt Down}
Send, {Tab Down}
sleep, 50
Send, {Alt Up}
Send, {Tab Up}
}
MsgBox During the last check, j was %mb1%, and k was %mb2%!
}
Use the alternative GetKeyState command syntax
Note: Although this version of the command makes it more straightforward to save the output of the command to a variable, it is depreciated and not recommended for use in new scripts.
I am using the LButton (mouse left) in a keybind as a prefix key. I got it to work, problem is I now need to redefine the LButton as whatever it was in it's natural state...in Autohotkey's terms.
I read this: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/GetKeyState.htm.
And cameup with the following code, but it's not working at all the way I thought it would. Simply put, you can use $LButton::Send {Click Left} to emulate the basic mouse click. The problem is when you hold the button/key down, nothing happens. I thought the code to emulate, or define the 'pressed down' behaviour would be readily available, but what I've found isn't working.
$LButton::
if (GetKeyState("LButton", "P"))
Send, {Click Left Down} ;tried variants with {Click Left} etc alrdy
else
Send, {Click Left Up}
return
For person in comments:
LButton & ~RButton::
Send, 1{Click Right}{Click Left}{Click Right}{MButton}
Sleep 130 ;125
Send, 1
return
$LButton:: ;no idea what this shud be
SendInput {Click Left}
;Send, {Click Left Down}
;KeyWait, LButton
;Send, {Click Left Up}
return
RButton::
Send, 1{Click Right}{Click Left}{Click Right}{MButton}
Sleep 130 ;125
Send, 1
return
Not sure if I understood this correctly, but you want holding LButton, then clicking the RButton to run this code:
Send, 1{Click Right}{Click Left}{Click Right}{MButton}
Sleep 130 ;125
Send, 1
And just clicking RButton should run that code as well?
And if LButton is just pressed normally (not in combination with RButton) it should function as normal?
Well this would be it:
~LButton & RButton::
RButton::
Send, 1{Click Right}{Click Left}{Click Right}{MButton}
Sleep, 130
Send, 1
return
Basically just making use of the ~ modifier.
Although I can't speak for Send, 1{Click Right}{Click Left}{Click Right}{MButton}.
I don't know what it's supposed to do, but maybe/hopefully it's doing the right thing.
Pressing w or something that you define should do the job
w::
Send, {Click down}
Send, {Blind}1{Click Right}{Click}{Click Right}{MButton}
Sleep 130 ;125
Send, 1
return
Anyone looking for something similar could try in this direction
#SingleInstance force
#warn
r::Reload
x::ExitApp
w::
Send, {Click down}
Send, {Blind}1{Click Right}{Click}{Click Right}{MButton}
Sleep 130 ;125
Send, 1
return
just Pressing w should do the job
Alternately
, the below one will do the same
LButton::Send, {Click down}
RButton::
if GetKeyState("LButton", "P")
{
Send, {Blind}1{Click Right}{Click}{Click Right}{MButton}
Sleep 130 ;125
Send, 1
}
else
Send, {Click Right}
return
Hi this is a super easy question but I was hoping someone could help me solve two AutoHotKey questions.
I am trying to get the keys Cntrl, J and I to be a keyboard shortcut that sends alt,h,v, and f.
Thus far I have tried these two ways of typing it
^&j&i::Send, !&h&v&f
^ji::Send, !hvf
as well as each of those without the comma after send.
I am also looking to send these keys on a very small delay, such as 5ms between each key
I was thinking of using something like this
^&j&i::
{
Send, {! down}
sleep 5
Send, {h down}
sleep 5
Send, {v down}
sleep 5
Send< {f down}
}
but of course, that is not working either. Any help is appreciated
Refer to https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm#combo
Combinations of three or more keys are not supported. With this in mind we need to check the key state of the control key before defining the hotkey.
A few other things to note: SendInput is the ideal send method, and you likely want those keys back into an up state which I've included in my example.
#if GetKeyState("LControl", "P")
{
j & i::
{
SendInput {Alt down}
sleep 5
SendInput {h down}
sleep 5
SendInput {v down}
sleep 5
SendInput {f down}
sleep 5
SendInput {Alt Up}
sleep 5
SendInput {h Up}
sleep 5
SendInput {v Up}
sleep 5
SendInput {f Up}
return
}
}
What I want to do is this:
Numpad3::
if(not GetKeyState("Shift" , "P") and not GetKeyState("RButton" , "P"))
{
SendInput {Shift down}
Sleep, 33
Click down right
}
Return
Numpad3 Up::
Sleep, 100
Click up right
Sleep, 33
SendInput {Shift up}
Return
But for some reason it isn't canceling when I let the button up. :(
I would suggest to use Send {RButton Down} (or Up) to send the right mouse click, instead of Click up right.
Also, you don't want to be sending random Sleep's if they are not really necessary, as it creates lag and makes the script inelegant and potentially unreadable.
Here is code which sends Control instead of RButton but it's only so I can test it within Notepad++.
Just replace Control with RButton and have a go:
*NumpadPgDn::
*Numpad3::
Send {Shift Down}{Control Down}
return
*NumpadPgDn Up::
*Numpad3 Up::
Send {Shift Up}{Control Up}
return
