Recently I try to simulate some custom mouse chords in in-house graphical software. Because I have many problems with this I make some little script to report pressed keys. It is handy in case when few key/mouse presses are simulated by other hotkey with DOWN/UP pairs or custom chords hotkey definitions.
Description:
This script continuously reports logically and physically pressed keys. This is kind of realtime addition to "Key History" window of AKH.
Screenshot:
Usage:
Use this by saving script code in KeyStateMonitor.ahk file and add following line to your script
Code:
#Include *i KeyStateMonitor.ahk
By default you can run this script by Win+F3 hotkey (you can change this to own hotkey in first line of the following code).
If you want change default monitored keys then change
ksm_monitor_keys variable. If you want to change default window title then edit
ksm_caption variable.
Script code:Code:
#F3::
ksm_caption = KeyState Monitor 1.0
ksm_monitor_keys := "O Z LButton RButton MButton Space"
ksm_dialog_closed := 0

If anyone have some suggestions or comments about above code, feel free to post it here.
