SuperClick

[937o5]

Allows you to hold down the Right Shift key and click with the mouse buttons to simulate multiple clicks, you can select how many clicks and the delay time with hotkeys as well, the script pretty much explains it when you run it and Right Click the tray icon, then click Commands.

Code: (autoit)

#SingleInstance,Force
Clicks = 2
Delay = 50
Gosub,TRAYMENU
return

RShift & Up::Clicks += 1
RShift & Right::Clicks += 100
RShift & Down::Clicks -= 1
RShift & Left::Clicks -= 100
RCtrl & Up::Delay += 1
RCtrl & Right::Delay += 100
RCtrl & Down::Delay -= 1
RCtrl & Left::Delay -= 100
RShift & Backspace::Clicks = 2
RCtrl & Backspace::Delay = 50

I know noone requested this, but I figured that others might benefit from this in some way, it's my first script. =P

EDIT: Nevermind! I found an icon.

EDIT 2: Added support for right and middle mouse buttons!

EDIT 3: I think this'll be my final version.. Added a crude GUI and configured the tray tips, etc. Also got the Traytip timers working!

EDIT 4: Fixed delays not working, they're fine now. I had to completely change how the click sending is done, it's through a loop now. And the delay time now puts the clicks through a Sleep command for the amount of time speicified under Delay, repeating the loop depends on how many "Clicks" it's currently set to send, so 2 clicks = loop 1 time, 5 clicks = loop 4 times, etc.

EDIT 5: Tested Win+Click, all appeared to be well until I HELD DOWN the Windows key while I clicked, then it went spazzy.. So, for now. I changed Left Shift and Left Control to Right Shift and Right Control, since Left Shift and Left Control are more widely used due to Copying, Pasting, Cutting, etc. Suggestions are still welcome! I'm learning as I go, so, I'll try my best. =P

hey i can see how that would be useful 

[937o5]

Updated! Final version I think. =P

Anyone got any ideas if I should add/edit anything?

[937o5]

I just realized.. The delay time isn't working right.. It won't set it more than once when the script runs... Do I need to set it via ini file and reload the script every time the delay time changes?..

Every newly launched thread (such as a hotkey, custom menu item, or timed subroutine) starts off fresh with the default setting for this command. That default may be changed by using this command in the auto-execute section (top part of the script).

So you'll need to call this command each time the Delay changes.

wow, thanks 937o5

it's something I've needed without having ever thought of it (for windows at any rate). I'm a hater of the double-click, mainly due to shoulder problems in my mouse arm.

1) is that code an AHK script? - yes, just tried it!
2) and just in case: you mention a possible ini file - could you make sure it has a distinctive name (cause it will be in my AHK scripts folder where there is already an unidentified "Settings.ini" file)
3) and eh . . dumb question time - why would one want a delay?

[Perry Mowbray]

why would one want a delay?

Some programmes don't react well when they receive input too fast (did I recently read a post about FARR misbehaving because of fast typing??).

there's a problem with using shift + click - [edit] I forgot to say I've set it at double click with delay left empty [edit]
FF & Opera both use shift+click to open links in new tabs (or is it FF with TabMixPlus ?)
I havent tried Opera today but FF is acting up a bit now when I use shift+click - link opens in a new window instead of in a new tab and occasionally I get a pop-up notice from the system tray

that would make a problem with control key as well, maybe Alt or Windows might be better default keys?

It also occurred to me that using shift+click to open files (=double click) could be problematic in file manager  when trying to select many files and using shift as qualifier key (is that the right term - select a file, press shift key and select file down the list)

[see edit above]

[937o5]

There was a problem with the delay time that I was fixing, and now it works just fine with them. I never thought of the Shift+Click messing anything up, it used to be Alt+Click before I put it on here, but in things like MSN, Alt makes it act up a bit... I'm thinking Win+Click might be the best solution... I'm renewing the script/exe that are posted here, so if you've gotten them already, I'd recommend deleting the old copies, and getting the current posted code/exe. Back to testing for now, going to see how that Win+Click works out...

[937o5]

Updated info/script/exe. Read top post for details.

with the script I get this message on start

it shows in the systray but there is no option (on right clcik) to exit

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The exe works but I'm confused - it works with left Shift - maybe you forgot to change the exe?

edit/ corrected last sentence (Left Shift instead of Left click)

[937o5]

Oh wow, sorry. The script I had up accidentally had the bottom cut off, fixed that. I also re-uploaded the new SuperClick EXE, so it's using Right Shift now, too.
