AutoHotkey Community

Hi, I'm new to AutoHotkey.

Im curious how you record a keystroke?

I know how to record a mouse click.

~Lbutton::
MouseGetPos,X, Y
fileappend, MouseClick`, Left`, %X%`, %Y%`n ,C:\script.txt

New Questions - ?



And the code I just showed worked...but only to the degree it printed, ~F12 to the .txt file.

When I recieve the input from the user.....say I type in "A"
it displays ~A~A~A~A~A~A in the .txt file...is there a way to keep it relative to amount of time the key was pressed?

What a surprise in the Help forum Have you read this topic already?


Do I have to understand this as "how you record every keystroke"?
I.e. a keylogger.

Otherwise the principle for a key is equivalent to mouse clicks.

^ Hey I changed the title, sorry.

And, no im not trying to design a keylogger.
But thank you for that piece of info.

How would you right that info to a .txt file?

Sorry for double posting, but...any more help?

can you not use the included script recorder? it doesn't measure the time between keystrokes, but it does record the keys

I take it you are trying to write a script that generates scripts. Search the forum for auto script writer - there are improved versions posted.
