Set button unpress timer

[iceivanov]

Hello AHK community!

I hope it's ok to ask for a noob question. I know this information is somewhere on tutorials but I couldn't figure out how to find it.

My question is how do I set a button unpress timer. Alot of times when I'm using key combinations they don't count because keyboard recognizes them as separate sequential key presses. I'd like to set a timer on my Alt and Ctrl buttons so when I unpress them, they unpress not immediately but after say half a second.

Thanks in advance!

Her is an example using Shift, since it is easy to see the effect when typing.

Code: Select all

$Shift::Send, {Shift down}

$Shift up::
	Sleep, 500
	Send, {Shift up}
return
