I know this question might sound stupid but I found some cases where I can't do a "^{Insert}" while the user still hold down the LButton.

I know I could wait for the button to be up but ... would prefer not to wait.

The following code shows what I mean:

I know exactly what you mean, but unfortunately I don't think it's possible without writing some software to operate at the driver level, which for now is outside the scope of the project.

Try the following just to see if "^{Insert}" works while the button is down:
*LButton::
MouseClick, Left,,,,, D
KeyWait LButton
MouseClick, Left,,,,, U
return

If it works, you might be able to redesign your LButton hotkey to omit the tilde, using something like the above example to do it.

Maybe I misunderstood you but this doesn't change anything.
The KeyWait will wayt until I release physically the button.

I already tried to make a

MouseClick, Left,,,,, U
SendKey, ^{Insert}

But it fails in some cases because the buttonnis still physically down.

What I do now is something like:
KeyWait LButton
SendKey, ^{Insert}

It works. I just wanted to avoid waiting for the user to give him a better 'feeling'.

Nevermind. It is just nice to have.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The reason I made the suggestion above is that it will cause the keyboard hook to suppress the mouse down-event, which might prevent the system from ever seeing that the mouse is physically down in the first place. But this is a longshot.
