Send {Space}
Sleep 250

works for me (holding space presses it exactly 4 times per second), no need for a loop, i guess my keyboard works weird?

ok, i've just checked, it still works when the input isn't in the output

Code: Select all

Space::
Send hello
Sleep 250
Return

this would probably be a bad thing if i wasn't trying to make a loop anyway

^j::
    SoundBeep, 525, 100 
    Random, rand, 1, 10000
    send, %rand% {enter}
	return

i used this instead:

Code: Select all

SetKeyDelay -1
t=
Space Up::t=
Space::
t=1
While t {
	Send, % " "
	Sleep, 250
}
Return

it's basically just the toggle method but without the threading problem

Here are 2 of the most commonly asked things (like, 5+ times a day). I'm not here to explain them as you probably don't care (but if you do care, ask below).
Choose which one you want. If you need to modify it, see "Helpful links" below.
Please try changing stuff yourself before asking. We appreciate any effort.

1. Press-and-Hold: Send or click while a button or key is held down

Code: Select all

setKeyDelay, 50, 50
setMouseDelay, 50

$~lbutton::
	while (getKeyState("lbutton", "P"))
	{
		send, {lbutton}
		sleep, 100
	}
return

2. Toggle: Press once to activate, press again to turn it off

How do you turn off the first one? Sorry, I'm new here.

state:=true
$f14::
state:=!state
#if (state==true)
*LShift::return
return
