Question about AutoHotkey scripting

<< < (2/4) > >>

jdd:
so.....is it correct to assume that it is not possible to create a hotkey combination in Autohotkey that is based on pressing two keys in rapid succession?

no sure I'd so far as to say that, but I'm not sure how I'd approach it...

perhaps a hotkey for K that watches for a subsequent (K) key press within a defined period 

OkRob:
Not sure what you're trying to send by pressing the keys, but something like this works:


--- Code: Autohotkey ---:R*?:ttt::FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, HH:mmSendInput %CurrentDateTime%returnPressing the "t" 3 times sends the current time in HH:mm format

To send a text string, this works:


--- Code: Autohotkey ---:R*?:ppp::SendInput This is my string of textreturnTyping "p" 3 times sends This is my string of text

Might try something along those lines if it will work for you. I use the ones above and others similar all the time to save me time with commonly typed text, etc. Note that I have them set to send after 3 keypresses as hardly any words I will ever type contain 3 of those letters in succession.

Is it possible to create a hotkey that does not require simultaneous pressing of keys?-jdd (August 01, 2010, 01:03 PM)

Here's one method to double-tap "k".


--- Code: Autohotkey ---~k::{    If ( A_PriorHotKey = A_ThisHotKey && A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 200 )    {        MsgBox, Success.    }}Return

jdd:
I should have been more specific.  What I want to do is to be able to type kk to simulate control-Alt-F4.
