Double Pressing Script Topic is solved

[plciula]

Hello All,

I'm pretty new to AHK, so forgive me if I'm being silly. I have a media key that I would like to utilize for two different functions. I compiled this based off what I could find in documentation.

Code: Select all

Volume_Mute::

	if (A_PriorHotkey <> "Volume_Mute" or A_TimeSincePriorHotkey > 400)
	{
	KeyWait, Volume_Mute
	Send Single Press
	return
	}
	Send Double Press 
	
Return

Unfortunately, when I double click the key, it outputs "Single PressDouble Press"

Any ideas why this might be happening?

the way you have it now the send outside the if will still get executed even if the if statement is true or not. u should prob put the outside send with an else

[plciula]

Not quite. When I press the key only once, it only sends "Single Press".

Anything inside the IF, will be executed if you press the key once, anything outside the IF will be executed after you press it twice.
There no... easy way to go around this, but I do have one way to do it.

Code: Select all

Volume_Mute::
	If (A_PriorHotkey <> "Volume_Mute" or A_TimeSincePriorHotkey > 400) {
		KeyWait, Volume_Mute
		SinglePress := True
	}
	If (SinglePress)
		SendInput, Single Press
	Else
		SendInput, Double Press
	SinglePress := False
Return

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work either. It still sends "Single PressDouble Press" with every double press. Otherwise both your revision and my original code works just fine. The only thing that isn't working, is the need to suppress the output "Single Press" when the key is double pressed.

I had a go at a double press hotkey script:

Code: Select all

q:: ;double press hotkey
if (A_PriorHotkey = "q" && A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 300)
{
	SetTimer, SinglePress, Off
	SendInput, Double Press
	return
}
SetTimer, SinglePress, -300
return

SinglePress:
SendInput, Single Press
return

@ plciula
any reason why you've posted your thread in a section like this:
Scripts and Functions
Post your working scripts, libraries and tools

... instead of "Ask for Help" (where we moved it to - on your behalf) ??

Sorry all, been a little busy to mess around with the script.

@Bon
I'm sure that my answer is hidden in the page you linked, just haven't had time to look into it.

@jeeswg
Your solution works perfectly. I have marked it as the answer.

@BoBo
It's because I'm new to the forum, and didn't know that section existed.
