i really have no clue as how to manipulate scripts and such, as i am from a bit older generation than most of you, so i come to you guys for a little assistance, should be an easy fix for most of you AHK users...

basically i am playing an online game, and would like to have the F12 button be pressed by hitting the spacebar (as we all know that F12 is a bit far off from the usual aswd/12345 keys)

something like pressing the numpad + key activate the script and numpad - key to diable it (as i will need the spacebar when typing)

so:
(typing random stuff)
i press NUM+ (activates it)
use spacebar for the duration of its purpose
press NUM- to deactivate (so i can type normaly again)

oh, and another note, can it be looped? like after i press NUM- it only needs to wait for me to press NUM+ again?

thanks in advance to anyone willing to give it a shot

You could try ctr+space to activate F12 keystroke to avoid having to cut anything on or off.

I have been trying to write a similar script to no avow. My goal is that when I press the F1 key the "a" key becomes "z" and the "d" to become "c". Then if I press the F1 key again the 'a' and 'c' will revert back to their normal function. Any ideas?

DISCLAIMER: There is probably a better way to do this but I CBA to RTFM.

I tried the script you wrote. Whenever I press F1 I am getting an error stating that there is an nonexistant hotkey. Any ideas? And thanks again for helping out so fast!

It works on my PC and was tested by Titan (thx) and he said it worked too - Did you copy the code exactly as I've got it up there?

Edit: He suggested a cleaner solution, but if you have other hotkeys that you want on all the time, it might not work for you...

My mistake, it works! I have lot of other hotkeys running at the same time and I think they were interacting strangely. Thanks again! Also just started using this program yesterday and I am looking for a tutorial that has more examples with comments, I tend to learn things faster when I have a working model in front of me that I can pick apart to see how it works.
