Is there any way to have holding a key down corresponding to holding another down until you release the key, while having an initial action when first depressed?

Specifically, I want to be able to hold down the "a" key which will cause AHK to hold down "1" and press "Enter" once, but not press Enter again until I let off the "a" key and press it again... but still holding "1" as long as "a" remains depressed.

I guessed and tried that, but holding down the "a" key still presses Enter many times. I want Enter to only be pressed on the initial depression of "a".

Better?

Sounds logical, but it doesn't seem to have changed. Something with KeyWait seems ideal, but I don't want to have to go into condition loops if possible...

Eh. There is a KeyWait there, so I dont know what you mean by that second sentence.

Also, I just tried that script myself and it works fine... Sends enter one time only.

I've been using wildcards (*) before each key since I may need to use multiple keys at once, will that affect it?

Sure enough, wildcards override it. Will removing them still allow me to use multiple keys at once?

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you are saying.
Could you post an example of something that does not function properly?
