Hi there,

I'm looking for something like this:
Detection of doubleclicking on a key seems to be easy corresponding to "A double-click can be detected by checking whether A_GuiControlEvent contains the word DoubleClick."

What about detecting TripleClicks (or even OctupleClicks )?

Can't figure out, how to do this?

I want this to trigger the PrintScr-Key taking different types of screenshots (whole screen, client area, region .... - using WinSnap and Snippy ...)

Any help welcome

The KeyWait-Example 4 comes close to what I mean, but does not hit my question perfectly.

Using the KeyWaitExample, I can distinguish between a single and a double click of a key.

But this doesn't meet my problem exactly:
The user hits the key n-times within a certain TIMEOUT-interval between single keypresses. If there is no further keypress within the TIMEOUT interval , a certain action should be triggered. The triggered action depends on the count n (how often was the key pressed not violating the TIMEOUT limit ...).

The questions still unanswered are:
* How to count the number of keypresses not violating the TIMEOUT limit?
* How to make Autohotkey trigger an action after the n - keypresses (and not after the first keypress)? The triggered action should depend on n.
