 Posted: Wed Jul 12, 2006 9:42 pm Post subject: ctrl key remap dilemma |
 |
|
i have remapped the Lctrl key to the spacebar. i find the spacebar to be a handy location for the ctrl key.
But the remapped spacebar doesnt work the same way as using the 'real' control key.
| Code: | space::ctrl
^s::send {7} |
When i holddown the hotkey(spacebar and s), ahk outputs a 7 followed by multiple 's' characters.
ie. '7sssssssssss'
But
if i holddown the 'real' control key and 's' ahk auto-repeats '77777777' (which i think is correct)
is there a way to make 'space::ctrl' behave the same as the real control key?
thanks |

| Code: | space::ctrl
^s::send {ctrl up}7{ctrl down} |
*not tested
the problem with your code is, that control was still pressed down, you have to release it first, before you can push the "7"

thanks garath, that works.
i had tried ^s::send {ctrl up}7
but i did not realize the need for the last 'ctrl down' |

| If you relaese the "space" Button, a "ctrl up" will be sent. You want to use the space as ctrl, so you have to push "ctrl down" again, if you need the ctrl button for other reasons. In this special case, it would work without it. I dont know, if you need the ctrl for other cases. |
