I asked earlier how to make AHK ignore automatically repeated key presses: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic63771.html

Clearly the best solution is to make the hotkey have an additional flag, w ...

Sorry, I guess my post was slightly misleading. Basically I want to disable typematic for hotkeys with arbitrary functionality, not just simple key down/up ones. I.e.

*key1::
If (keypr ...

Actually, the keywait method is seriously flawed, since AHK is essentially single threaded.

Consider for instance the following:

$*a::
Send, {blind}{a down}
KeyWait ...

Making mouse buttons context sensitive (depending on application) with AHK should be quite a normal operation, but currently to make it work properly I need some explicit extra checks in the subroutin ...

Oh, right. GetMousePos does exactly what I asked, thank you.

...but what's the point with that timer? :p Here's how I did it:

EDIT:
MButton::

I want to make a mouse button trigger different hotkeys based on where it's clicked. Naturally I first thought the #IfWin directives should do it, but they only check which window has the keyboard foc ...

Ah, true, the KeyWait function is likely sufficient for my needs, :) but that's still a workaround; i.e. based on suspending threads and still discarding the keyrepeat status bits. Your example would ...

I can't believe such simple functionality would be missing from ahk, but I couldn't find this in the help file or forum search:

How to make a hotkey subroutine run only on a real keypress, not on o ...

I've had AHK scripts getting LWin and RWin keys "stuck" plenty of times, but only after I changed to a USB keyboard! (The same script worked fine for years on a ps/2 one)

Haven't had the ...

I have a shortcut "c:\bin\HDGraph.lnk". c:\bin is in %path%, and .LNK in %pathext%.
So I should be able to run the program anywhere with "hdgraph", and indeed it works. But...

But i want the left mouse button NOT TO trigger if the hotkey was pressed and TO trigger if it was pressed.

Is it just me, or does this sentence look like an oxymoron?

# & F4::Shutdown, 9
Did you mean:
LWin & F4::Shutdown, 9
Or perhaps:
~LWin & F4::Shutdown, 9

@VxE
While your code works, it's terribly inefficient by being based on a loop running at short intervals, and by repeating redundant arithmetic operations. The only advantage to my version is mainta ...

What Guest is trying to say here (though lacking in comprehension) is that AutoHotkey doesn't have that function built in but you need to directly call Win32 API functions GetWindowLong and SetWindowL ...

This sounds like a job for the shell hook method explained here http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=123323#123323
