LButton remapped for single click but does not lose function for drag

[blad4]

Hi I want to remap my Left Mouse button to something, but not use it's function when I need to hold and drag.

You can use Lbutton UP:: as the hotkey (using the hotkey modifier UP) but then the function will still trigger after you drag. Is that okay?
But what you can do is hold a modifier like ctrl while you're dragging. That will prevent the hotkey from triggering.

Or else you will have to use an expression of some sort.. or a directive??

Hi thank you unfortunately that will be more of a pain than ..

This is indeed possible. However the below would be ideal!:

A help file is not for reading, it is for understanding.
So if you already have read it, maybe reading a second time is necessary.

As I don't have precise information, I can't give you suggestions different then in help file.
Maybe you want your "remapping" ony in a specific window, an expression could like below

Code: Select all

#If WinActive("PacMan2000") ; <--- this is the expression
Lbutton::send Do something ; not a real remapping, more something like a hotkey
#If ; <--- necessary when other "global" hotkeys are following
