I believe this code is good, except for the part where I'm calling F1 again....

Code:

F1::
If (A_PriorHotKey = A_ThisHotKey and A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 300) {
Send {F1}
}
Else {
}
Return

Basically the point is to disable single presses of F1, and require a double press of F1 to trigger the usual action (e.g. help file)

Problem I'm getting is that the double click doesn't work, and then I get a "71 hotkeys were sent in the last 1.5ish seconds" type message... obviously it's looping.

Can someone point me to a workaround for doing this?

Code:

$F1::
If (A_PriorHotKey = A_ThisHotKey and A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 300) {
Send {F1}
}
Else {
}
Return

$ This is usually only necessary if the script uses the Send command to send the keys that comprise the hotkey itself, which might otherwise cause it to trigger itself.

Thanks worked great. Alas I mess with AHK to infrequently to remember those modifiers.

Alternative you have to hold F1 for one second to get normal function

Code:

$F1::
F1Down:=A_TickCount
Keywait F1
If ((A_TickCount-F1Down)>1000)
Send {F1}
Return

Just an idea no obligation Smile
