Here's my first little script; every now and then I manage to bump the capslock key, and I find that annoying. But I still want to be able to use it when I *want* to. So, this script doesn't allow plain-old capslock to enter capslock mode, but shift-capslock, alt-capslock, etc, do work. Then plain old capslock gets you back out. It does require the keyboard hook.

Hello,

aikens example motivated me to make my first tiny script



Question about remapping, the Docu says:
"The syntax for the built-in remapping feature is OriginKey::DestinationKey"
Is it OK to Remap to "nothing"?

The syntax doesn't support it. You've seen that to disable a key, just put a return after it. For example, the following disables RWin and LWin:

RWin::Return
LWin::Return

The best caps lock protector of them all:

Without understanding the script I copied Aitkens script to imobilise the capslock key (unless the command is shift-capslock or alt-capslock).
I knew it .......... even testing it I mangaed to hit the two adjacent keys accidentally.
So I need to allow alt-capslock only or Win-capslock which is the key combo I prefer right now whilst just getting started.
Could someone help please with the correct script in each case & perhaps explain how the script command string is arrived at.
TIA

PS I have previously in desperation, applied surgery to my keyboard (just as the pic posted in this thread shows), but it' a tad inellegant as solutions go right?

this code by lexikos lets you change capslock by holding it down for 0.5secs which avoids accidental hits

Rodfell,
Thanks for the link.
Actually I had spotted this script but would prefer the Win-Capslock "solution" particularly if I could follow the logic.
If I try the "timed action solution" in your link what do I do with the current Hotkey script, how do you undo these things.
Yes I toiled over the tutorial but I'm afraid it was mostly over my head & I am inclined to think now this Autohotkey program (though superb in flexibility & option rich) is too techy for me.
Rgds & thanks again,
Pete

not sure what you mean by this. you apply and undo capslock by holding the capslock key for 0.5 secs. in any event, here is a script you might like. it gets rid of accidental capslock by needing win-capslock. i've kept the code basic.
