Combine two keys with a modifier Topic is solved

[Sweetins]

I need to add alt to the combination of the left arrow key and the down or up arrow key and map it to a function.

Code: Select all

!Left & Up:: BS.SetBrightness(+1)

Code: Select all

!Left & Down:: BS.SetBrightness(-1)

The above approach doesn't work. Is there any work around?

Yes, this is possible.

Basically you can set that while Alt is being pressed,
a value of a variable should get changed.
When releasing the key, the value should get set to default.

For example:
Alt pressed: mode = 1
Alt released: mode = 0

By using this method, you can easily use 3 key combinations.

You can try this:

Code: Select all

LAlt::
while GetKeyState("LAlt", "P") ; While left alt is being pressed:
{
  mode = 1 ; Set mode to 1 (ON)
} ; After left alt has been released::
mode = 0 ; Set mode to 0 (OFF)
return

#if mode = 1 ; If mode is 1 (ON):
Left & Up::
BS.SetBrightness(+1)
return

Left & Down::
BS.SetBrightness(-1)
return

Code: Select all

#if GetKeyState("LAlt", "P")
Left & Up::BS.SetBrightness(+1)
Left & Down::BS.SetBrightness(-1)

Thanks swagfag, it works just fine.
Scr1pter, your solution is not bad either.
