Could someone please demonstrate function which detects when a key has been held down for any number of seconds, then { does some routine }

[evan]

a::
{
StartTime := A_TickCount
KeyWait, a
ElapsedTime := A_TickCount - StartTime
msgbox, %ElapsedTime%
}

You don't need the braces for that.

Thank you, but can the routine logic actually not wait for the key to be un-pressed for it to calculate duration held down....., but actually go into live routine after a preset number of milliseconds has elapsed even if the person keeps pressing the button down.... whereas only then un-pressing the button would then reset the counter? See what I mean?
