“Send” only working on key release Topic is solved

[Tom1]

Hello AHK community,

My code sends CTRL only when SHIFT is released, not when pressed down. How can I fix that?

Shift::Send {Ctrl}{Shift}


thx in advance,
Tom

Code: Select all

~Shift::
	Send, {Ctrl}
return

Adding a ~ tilde before the hotkey will allow the hotkey's native action to be performed in addition to executing your code.

I noticed that CTRL will repeatedly be send. Is it possible to make it send CTRL once, when I hold down SHIFT?

Try this:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force

~Shift::
	Send, {Ctrl}
	KeyWait, Shift
return

Now it’s perfect, thank you!
