I want to switch off blockinput with a key, but blockinput blocks any keys (except ctrl+alt+del)...

I found this on AHK Help

Quote:

Input blocking is automatically and momentarily disabled whenever an ALT event is sent (then re-enabled afterward).

I tried to press ALT but it doesn't work.

I tried some ALT Hotkey too...

I made this script in order to test alt key.
If Alt+b is pressed, var is set to 1. It waits 5 sec, then show results.

Code:

var = 0

BlockInput, On

Sleep, 5000

BlockInput, off
Msgbox, %var%

ExitApp

!b::var = 1

Alt+b hotkey doesn't work if blockinput is on...

How to do?

Certain types of hook hotkeys can still be triggered when BlockInput is on. Examples include "MButton" (mouse hook) and "LWin & Space" (keyboard hook with explicit prefix rather than modifiers "$#").

So try:

Code:

var = 0

BlockInput, On

Sleep, 5000

BlockInput, off
Msgbox, %var%

ExitApp

LAlt & b::
var := 1
Return
