Is there a way to do three things with AHK v2: 1. Mute and unmute the microphone, either on Windows 11 or just on OBS streaming software, and ... 2. Detect the state of the mic, muted or unmuted, again on Windows 11 or just on OBS. 3. Show a big, semi-intrusive, and always-on-top message like "Mic i...

I'm trying to make a simple hotkey for a smooth 180-turn in a first-person shooter, but the results I'm getting are either an instant movement/turn with: F1:: { MouseMove 400, 20, 1 } Or weird circular movement at the character's feet with: F1:: { SendMode "Event" MouseMove 1, 1, 99 } Notice the dif...

Thank you, ntepa.

This works like a charm!

Is it possible to use a key combination like Ctrl+Alt+F12 to mute a specific window with its ahk_exe chrome.exe process name/reference, for example?

Now that I'm thinking about it, these are good points. After the first Space is pressed, the script should wait for a maximum of 375 ms for what comes next: a. If Space is pressed again within 375 ms, then Send "{Right}" immediately. b. Otherwise, if another key is pressed within the time, then Send...

The tilde unblocks the key's native function, which is why you see spaces. Thank you for clarifying that, Mikey. I'd need Space to function normally, instead of sending the right arrow key, if it's not double-pressed quickly. I tried with the following script, but that doesn't work at all either: $...

I want to remap two quick taps of the Space key in my IDE (ahk_exe Code.exe) into one press of Right (the right arrow key). This is to easily and quickly exit the auto-closed braces and/or quotes, for example, while writing AHK scripts on Visual Studio Code (or any other IDE) and when I want to cont...

:C:md::— :C:nd::– Not what I had in mind — serendipitous in my case this time, but concise and elegant — creatively genius — as usual, mikeyww. :salute: Thank you! :D For any AHK beginners who stumble upon this, here's the code with potentially helpful comments: :C:md::— ; The ":C:" prefix before t...

::--::— was working just fine for me by itself to send an em dash — in any application by typing two consecutive hyphens or minus signs, just like this works in Microsoft Word and Telegram without the intervention of an AHK script, which is also why I have the code looking like this: #HotIf !WinAct...

Thank you very much for clarifying that, gregster!

As the subject title says, why isn't the following code working to use Shift+Numpad0 to send a colon?

I just noticed that I have a typo in the script. I actually wanted to use $-prefix instead of * glad it still seems to work.

Hah! I thought it worked because of the asterisk, not despite it!

This works pretty much perfectly: *Space:: { If KeyWait("Space", "T.2") Send("{Space}") else { SendEvent("{LCtrl down}{LButton down}") KeyWait("Space") SendEvent("{LButton up}{LCtrl up}") } } I feel so silly and scatterbrained for repeating the "asterisk mistake" — * forgetting to add it — yet again...

Thank you for trying to help me with that idea, Noitalommi. The reason I'm trying to send Shift+A held down is not to send an uppercase A exactly; it's just a simple way of testing any suggested method in Notepad. What I ultimately want is to send Ctrl+LMB held down in another application. So, if I ...

Thank you for clarifying those issues, niCode. Unfortunately, the script is still far from doing what I want it to do. When I press & release Space , it sends an uppercase "A" to Notepad. When I press & hold Space , it sends one "A" and then starts spamming spaces. What I actually want the script to...

It is my fault. Sorry. Only UP is a permitted suffix.
Hotkey Modifier Symbols

That makes sense. No problem; thank you for trying to help!

And why is the following script spamming Space in Notepad too?! #Requires AutoHotkey >=2.0-a #HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe Notepad.exe") Space:: { if (A_TimeSinceThisHotkey > 100) { SetKeyDelay 15, 25 Send "{Shift down}" Send "{a down}" KeyWait "Space", "L" Send "{Shift up}" Send "{a up}" } else if (Key...

@Rok Try Space down:: instead of Space:: Earlier, I did! For some reason, Visual Studio Code, which is the IDE I use to write AHK scripts with AHK extensions, keeps insisting on rewriting it as Space down: : (notice the space between the colons) when I try to save the file! Then, it treats Space an...

Thank you so much for helping me with those options, niCode, and for explaining why the up state of the Ctrl key wasn't being sent and the necessity of the * prefix to achieve this. Also, thank you for confirming my feeling that that else statement is useless; the reason I never removed it is that I...

As the subject title says, I'm trying to remap a held-down key, Space , to two held-down keys, Ctrl and LButton , and otherwise make Space behave normally if it's not held down. I've tried to do this with the following script but it's not working: Space:: { if (A_TimeSinceThisHotkey > 100) { SetKeyD...
