I have a very simple script to try and remap my AppsKey (the one on the right hand side of the keyboard, between WinKey and Ctrl) to Shift + F2 for the Uplay overlay.
AppsKey::
Send, +{F2}
Return
As you can see, it's very basic, however, when I try to use it in-game (Far Cry 3 in this instance), it works erratically. Like sometimes when I press the AppsKey, the overlay opens. Sometimes it doesn't and I have to repeatedly tap the AppsKey for it to finally show up or close.
No, my AppsKey isn't broken. I tried mapping it to something else and it works without problems. I just want some lead as to why it's acting erratically in this case.
Per the comments, the solution should be akin to this:
AppsKey::
SendInput, {Shift down}{F2 down}
Sleep, 50
SendInput, {Shift up}{F2 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.
I want to make a script that would allow me to click once every time I press the mouse, however, if instead of letting go immediately, I hold the RMB for more than 0.25s it would click again on release.
Essentially allowing me to use RMB normally as long as I don't hold it for too long but allowing me to do a double click if held.
This is a work around since my mouse's button gets stuck if I click too fast and I'm not able to get a new one atm.
The purpose of this is to be able to use my mouse on PS and to play the one game i play some times: Black Ops 2 while i save enough for a new mouse. In the context of the game, i want to be able to use Toggle ADS as a base and be able to use the toggle by default by just clicking but be able also do a Hold to ADS with the same button on the fly without changing the game's configuration.
I am not very proficient at AHK and this is all I got so far, holding works fine, however if I don't hold, it does a double click which is annoying.
RButton Down::
Send {Click, Right}
keywait RButton, t.25
if errorlevel
keywait RButton,
Send {RButton Up}
return
You could maybe do some trickery with multiple KeyWaits, but I wouldn't recommend time consuming processing inside hotkey labels in any case due to AHKs single threaded nature.
Here's something very simple I'd recommend instead:
~*RButton::RClickTime := A_TickCount
~*RButton Up::
if (A_TickCount - RClickTime >= 250)
Click, Right
return
So first when we press down RButton (note that there is no "down" state for hotkey names, the key name itself means it being pressed down) we store the current system time with A_TickCount.
And we use the ~ modifier for the hotkey so the keypress itself isn't consumed.
And the * modifier is used so holding down e.g. Ctrl or Shift, etc, wouldn't make the hotkey not work.
Then on RButton release (RButton Up::) we compare the current system time with the stored system time to see if over 250ms passed. If so, we send another right click with Click, Right (don't use a send command here, it isn't really intended for this).
It looks like you're missing some curly braces around your if block; but I think you can implement the right double-click functionality with something as simple as,
RButton::
KeyWait RButton, T.25
numberOfClicks := errorLevel + 1
Send {Click Right %numberOfClicks%}
return
~RButton:: ;*When Right Mouse Button is Down, do the following.*
keywait RButton, T.25 ;*Wait (250 milliseconds) for it to be released.*
if errorlevel { ;*When it exceeds the said time*
keywait RButton ;*Wait for it to be released*
Send, {RButton Up} ;*Send Right Mouse Button up*
}
return
I want to overwrite my "rubber" button on the Surface Pen with AutoHotKey. My aim is to click my PDF presentation (Left and Right Arrow) with the SurfacePen
Described on many Websites:

https://www.wpxbox.com/how-to-remap-surface-pen-button-actions/
I have already tried to use other keys like F1 to get the desired reaction and this is working. Just the keys #F18, #F19 and #F20 (for the rubber button) don't seem to work.
#F19:: Send, {Left}
#F20:: Send, {Right}
Thanks
It worked out this way. I am using FoxitReader as PDF Reader
#IfWinActive, ahk_exe FoxitReader.exe
#F18:: Send, {Left}
#F20:: Send, {Right}
i wannna be able to press Alt+Middle Button for simulating Shift+Ctrl+Right Button with AutoHotkey. I did it for simulating two keys. And it worked but it is not working for three keys.
so i wrote that:
LAlt & MButton::Send {Ctrl Down}{Shift Down}{RButton Down}
keywait, LAlt
keywait, MButton
LAlt & MButton Up::Send {Ctrl Up}{Shift Up}{RButton Up}
return
where is the problem?
First thing is that the two keywait lines are never executed as you have your send action on the some line as the hotkey, this will make a one-line hotkey or remap
If you wish to execute multiple lines of code in one hotkey routine you will need to start the routine on the line below the hotkey definition label.
Also try taking a simpler approach be using Autohotkeys remapping capabilities
Can't say this will work for you but give it a shot
!MButton::^+RButton
Hope it helps
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}
