Remapped Key To Trigger A Physical Key: How? Topic is solved

[abcjme]

Let's say that Space is remapped to be Ctrl,
but I also have Ctrl remapped to send Z.
Is there a way to make it so that pressing Space, on release, also acts to send Z?

(To extrapolate, if Space is not used as part of a key combo, then it should act like Ctrl pressed alone, and thereby send Z: as that's what Ctrl is remapped to do.)

Hallo,
perhaps this:

Code: Select all

*Space:: ;part 1: Space remapped to Ctrl
	SetKeyDelay -1
	Send {Blind}{Ctrl DownR}
Return
*Space up:: ;part 2: Space remapped to Ctrl
	SetKeyDelay -1
	Send {Blind}{Ctrl up}
	If A_PriorKey = Space ;if Space is not used as part of a key combo
		Send, z ;on release sends Z
Return
Ctrl::z ;Ctrl remapped to Z

"Space is remapped to be Ctrl, but I also have Ctrl remapped to send Z".

Send {Blind}{Ctrl DownR}

What is the "R" in "DownR"? It was crucial for making the script work properly.

Only in the short-term, haha. I've been developing a keyboard layout that's more efficient and even easier to learn than current layouts available (Dvorak, Halmak, etc.). It's nearly done, I'm just fine-tuning it now.

DownR (where "R" stands for remapping, which is its main use) tells subsequent sends that if the key is automatically released, it should be pressed down again when send is finished. …
