How to allow 2 scripts with 2 Sends at once Topic is solved

[Mister Fragalot]

Hi, I would like to run these 2 scripts simultaneously:

Code: Select all

~w:: 
	Send {Shift down}
	KeyWait, w
	Send {Shift up}
return

Code: Select all

~a::
sleep 100
MouseClick
return

I need the 2nd script to work, even while I'm holding down "w" in the first script.

Thank you.

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

~*w:: 
	Send {Shift down}
	KeyWait, w
	Send {Shift up}
return
~*a::
sleep 100
MouseClick
return

This is one script with two hotkeys!

The functionality will be *slightly* different when you merge those scripts, due to the KeyWait.

The merged script *might* delay release of W by up to 100ms, if you tapped a while w was held. I am not really sure why he has a Sleep 100 at the start of a hotkey, if it is not needed then removing it would make the script more robust.

I presume that the KeyWait is dual-purpose, to suppress repeats and do an up event mapping?

The correct way of writing this script, to minimize the chance of the w:: hotkey and the a:: hotkey interfering with each other (And preserving all functionality of the original) is like this:

Code: Select all

w_held := 0

~*w:: 
	if (w_held)
		return ; Suppress repeats
	w_held := 1
	Send {Shift down}
	return

~*w up::
	w_held := 0
	Send {Shift up}
	return
	
~*a::
sleep 100
MouseClick
return

Also, note that as you are using a "Wild" hotkey (~*w::), you should probably be Sending using Blind Mode Send {Blind}{Shift down}

Thank you so much. It works well.
