I'm having some issues with using the keys LShift + W/1 + 1/W to suspend and resume scripts. See below;

Code: Select all

#if getkeystate("LShift","P")
1 & W::Suspend, Off
W & 1::Suspend, Off
#if

#if getkeystate("LShift","P")
2 & W::Suspend, On
W & 2::Suspend, On
#if

The code mostly works, where after holding down LShift, whichever order 1/2 or W is pressed, the script will suspend or resume.

The situation in which it doesn't work is when you press LShift, then press 1, then press W. It begins to flick between suspend and resume over and over again. This doesn't happen when 2 is pressed or in the reversed orders.

Does this script behave like this for anyone else?
What changes have to be made to have LShift + 1/W + W/1 suspend, but not resume over and over again?
Is there an easier way to have multiple key combinations suspend and resume scripts, if so, how?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated thank you!

1 & w::Suspend, Off
2 & w::Suspend, On

; the same with
2 & w::Suspend, Off		; now this key combo toggles after the first suspension (which was not done via context menu)
1 & w::Suspend, On

1::Suspend, Off
2::Suspend, On

I can reproduce the behaviour on 1.1.29.01 (64bit). Once the hotkeys were suspended at least one time, I can toggle the suspension via 1 & W::Suspend, Off while LShift is pressed.

Edit: This surprise toggle is not working, if hotkeys were suspended strictly via the script's context menu (in the systray). Then, the suspension will just be turned off, like expected.

Edit2:
The same behaviour can be observed with this simplified setup:

Code: Select all

1 & w::Suspend, Off
2 & w::Suspend, On

; the same with
2 & w::Suspend, Off		; now this key combo toggles after the first suspension (which was not done via context menu)
1 & w::Suspend, On

while this doesn't show the surprise toggle effect:

Code: Select all

1::Suspend, Off
2::Suspend, On

It seems to be caused by key combos only. If this really doesn't show on [v1.1.30+] it might have somehow to do with the implementation of this change

I don't see any problem on 1.1.30.01 32/64 unicode. 1 & w only sets suspend off, never on, 2 & w only sets suspend on, never off, as to be expected.

Cheers.

#if getkeystate("LShift","P")
1 & W::Suspend, 0
W & 1::Suspend, 0
#if

#if getkeystate("LShift","P")
2 & W::Suspend, 1
W & 2::Suspend, 1
#if

Thanks for finding!

By swapping out 'On' for 1 and 'Off' for 0, it seems to work (on the work PC anyways, will check personal when I'm home).

Code: Select all

#if getkeystate("LShift","P")
1 & W::Suspend, 0
W & 1::Suspend, 0
#if

#if getkeystate("LShift","P")
2 & W::Suspend, 1
W & 2::Suspend, 1
#if

Does this solution work for everyone else also?

Thanks.
