I'm trying to set up Capslock behaviour so when it's "on", the "w" key (most known as a "go forward" key in PC games) pressed once produces permanent effect as if it were down, and repeated keystroke returns it to normal behaviour. When Capslock is "off", the "w" behaves in a normal way. Like in Oblivion, it seems. Smthg like this script doesn't work:

Code:

^c::
     If CapsON()
       {
         Send {w DOWN}
         SetKeyDelay, 0, 10, Play  
        }
Return

CapsON()
{
  Return GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
}

How can i do this?

From the help file:

Quote:

When a key is held down via the method above, it does not begin auto-repeating like it would if you were physically holding it down (this is because auto-repeat is a driver/hardware feature). However, a Loop can be used to simulate auto-repeat. The following example sends 20 tab keystrokes:

An example (also from the help file):

Code:

Loop 20
{
    Send {Tab down}  ; Auto-repeat consists of consecutive down-events (with no up-events).
    Sleep 30  ; The number of milliseconds between keystrokes (or use SetKeyDelay).
Send {Tab up}  ; Release the key.

This might work:

Code:

$w::
  if GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
  {
    loop 
    {
      Send {w down}
      sleep 250
      if !GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
        break
    }
    Send {w up}
  }
  else
    send w
  return

Thanks, it works as needed, but not in game (Far Cry). The single "w" stops working. I tried the following variant (as it may be more compatible with games as i've understood), but it just disables both keystrokes in-game, single-pressed and continuous:

Code:

$w::
  if GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
  {
    loop 
    {
      SendPlay {w down}
      SetKeyDelay, 0, 0, Play
      if !GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
        break
    }
    SendPlay {w up}
  }
  else
    send w
  return

After a number of tests, this code works (WOHOO!!:):

Code:

~w::
  if GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
  {
    loop
    {
      Send {w down}
      sleep 250
      if !GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
        break
    }
    Send {w up}
  }
  return

Just needed to replace & with ~ in hotkey and remove "else" expression. Anyway, thanks a lot for the help)
