 Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2006 11:17 pm Post subject: disabling shift when shift is already held down |
 |
|
Originally I wanted to make a hotkey like this
| Code: | +MButton::
Keywait, Mbutton
MouseClick, Left
return |
but I didn't want the left click to be a shift-left click if I was still holding down shift. When I tested some solutions I came across something puzzling. The following two scripts should work the same but they don't.
| Code: | +MButton::
Keywait, MButton
BlockInput, On
Send, {Shift up}
GetKeyState, state, Shift
BlockInput, Off
Msgbox, %state%
return |
| Code: | +MButton::
Keywait, MButton
BlockInput, On
Send, {Shift up}
Send, {Shift up}
Send, {Shift up}
Send, {Shift up}
Send, {Shift up}
Send, {Shift up}
GetKeyState, state, Shift
BlockInput, Off
Msgbox, %state%
return |
The first script is unreliable, *if* there are other hotkeys that use Shift (e.g. add a +1::a to the script to make it fail occasionally). Sometimes the script will say GetKeyState says Shift wasn't held down and sometimes it says it was. In fact, it would appear that how long you hold down Middle Mouse determines whether or not it returns U or D. The second script so far seems to consistenly work.
Any idea what is going on here, and is there a more elegant method to fix the original hotkey without using a bunch of Send, {Shift up}'s? |

I'm not sure exactly what is causing this because BlockInput is known to have side-effects (such as sticking keys) if put into effect while a key is being held down. That happens because the release of a key is not noticed by the active window when BlockInput is on.
Rather than trying to analyze it further, let me try to answer the question that is probably most important to you: | Quote: | | I didn't want the left click to be a shift-left click if I was still holding down shift |
I think this should do it:
| Code: | +MButton::
Keywait, Mbutton
Send {LButton} ; In the absence of {Blind}, Send releases the Shift key for you.
return |
