Hi. I am trying to make a script that will rebind keys when the right mouse button is pressed and unbind them when it is pressed again.

To keep it simple just say i want a to change to left arrow.

I have tried the following:



The error i get when I run this is

Line text: *a
Error: duplicate label.

I don't understand this. It's as if it's running all the code at once. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

the full version of what im trying to do would use space and be a press/release toggle

the below doesn't work but it should show what i want to do:

Try this:

Thanks for you suggestion. I am trying to do it with a::a rather than 'send' because I understand it's better for using with games etc to have a 'hard' link.
What I don't understand is why one script can't seem to redefine a key using :: more than once?

You have to use the "Hotkey, ..." command method if you want to manipulate a hotkey such as turning it on/off and changing it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to use hotkey but couldn't get it working.

Specifically if i have alreay done:

a::Up

how do i then later do

a::a

using hotkey? I am trying to use a::Up etc using remaps rather than using send.

All i'm trying to do is the equivalent of having two scripts:


Script 1:

w::up
a::left
s::down
d::right

script 2:

w::w
a::a
s::s
d::d

I'm trying to put this functionality into one script with a toggle between.

I first thought that the Hotkey command couldn't allow to remap keys (from reading its help page).
But reading the Remapping Keys and Buttons page, I see that key remapping actually works as a pair of hotkeys.
So I suggest you read carefully this page and try to implement your hotkeys the way it is shown (and using tips given by other people in this topic).

At beginning of program I use,
Hotkey, w, up
Hotkey, w, off ; deactivate hotkey until needed

Later in program, I could manipulate it like,
Hotkey, w, on ; use new hotkey
Hotkey, w, down ; change it to another key
Hotkey, w, mylabel ; change it to a label to jump to
