This script to hold down a key works fine...

Loop

{
SendInput {w down} ; Auto-repeat consists of consecutive down-events (with no up-events).
Sleep 30 ; The number of milliseconds between keystrokes (or use SetKeyDelay).
}

But when I add a hotkey into the script like below the hotkey works but the script (loop) dosn't execute?

#x::ExitApp

Loop

{
SendInput {w down} ; Auto-repeat consists of consecutive down-events (with no up-events).
Sleep 30 ; The number of milliseconds between keystrokes (or use SetKeyDelay).
}

Maybe "Hotkey" cmd will fix this Very Happy

Add the hotkey after the loop. The first lines of the script will automatically Run. Until a hotkey, function??, or return is encountered.

I made a script to do it with seperate hotkeys for now but I want it like this, how to do this?

1. Win+W starts the script
2. Script redefines Win+W to ExitApp
3. Script exits and Win+W reverts to starting the script (as assigned in AutoHotkey.ini.

Please register so you dont have to triple post.

The reason it doesnt work is because you are holding down the w key. So as far as ahk is concerned you are pressing Win + W + X.
You need to use the keyboard hook so that it can determine between the artificial key and the real key.

How do I use the keyboard hook to do this..

1. Hotkey in AutoHotkey.ini starts the script.
2. The Script re assigns Same hotkey to Reload itself.
3. Script reloads.

Editing above^^ Confused

That dosn't help autonoob..

Finally I'm sure of what I need to know...

- Script starts.. via hotkey or not.. if hotkey then a different hotkey to the ones used within.

- Subscript starts via a hotkey e.g. +w .. once the subscripts started it needs to redefine +w to reload this script , how to do this? :>.
