AutoHotkey Community

I All,

I create a script that triggers when I hold down spacebar and press "f" key.

I noticed that once the script finishes running I cannot use the spacebar in normal text to insert a space.

I tried to use :

at the end of the script but it does not help.

I also used the workaround of prefixing "space & f::" with a tilde. It works good but does not prevent me from actually inserting a space when I type the hotkey.


I think the best solution would be to add a final line in the script telling AHK to consider spacebar as a normal key.

Thanks for helping!

Seriously... How can we help if you havent even posted your code. Theres obviously bugs

Since you didn't post you're actual code.
the way you allow normal operation of a key used in a hotkey is:




Add whatever you hotkey code is after the ::

Thank you for your post. As I said in a previous post I used this approach



and it worked.

My feeling is that since spacebar is used as a hotkey, whatever line at the end of the code that may make it useable as a normal key will never have effect because spacebar as a hotkey will always have precedence whenever the run finishes running.

Thus the "tilde" approach is the right one.
