Re: Add keywait to "if" of else script Topic is solved

BigBrainAFK .... I came up with 2 solutions that each work wonderfully. BlockInput gave me a small issue, but the lack of $ (forget syntax, ATM) was my nemesis on this one :thumbdown: MButton for Dark Mode cycle (Tap) and bookmark saving (hold): $MButton:: ;"Tap" cycles Dark Mode keywait,MButton,t....

Re: Add keywait to "if" of else script Topic is solved

BigBrainAFK ... Thanks! :thumbsup: You are actually the second person now, one last week on a previous unsolved question, that mentioned reading "pixels". Most of AHK code is well over my head and I am about as far from a code junky as anyone can ever meet. My brain sees "mechanical" things, with i...

Re: Add keywait to "if" of else script Topic is solved

No such thing as dumb questions, I have always heard. You are correct, but is only on the later versions of Firefox. The problem with my earlier release, is that "Other Bookmarks" is highlighted by default (not even sure where that bookmark ends up, cuz can never find it... lol). I was able to find ...

jrachr ... I appreciate your efforts to help :D My Win XP 32b is ever creating issues and I would not have any of the above, if I was running at least a Win 8 64b system.

Yes, it is a bit complicated. This is part of the reason I needed help, so thanks :thumbsup: 1. I have not, to this point, used a "SetTimer", as I have never needed one.
