Hold down Alt key

[abellos]

Hello guys,
i need a script for a game to hold down the Alt key, i wrote this script

Code: Select all

5::
Toggle := !Toggle

If not Toggle {
	Send {Alt up}
	TrayTip "alt up", "alt up"
} else {
	
    Send {Alt down}
    TrayTip "alt down", "alt down"
    
}

it hold the key pressed, but i cant stop the pressed alt. I think when alt is pressed it expect another key to do a combination.
There is some solution to deactivate the alt pressed?

You can either add the hotkey with Alt so that either triggers it:

Code: Select all

5::
!5::
Toggle := !Toggle
...

Or just add the wildcard modifier to your hotkey:

Code: Select all

*5::

; If the script is not elevated, relaunch as administrator and kill current instance:

full_command_line := DllCall("GetCommandLine", "str")

if not (A_IsAdmin or RegExMatch(full_command_line, " /restart(?!\S)"))
{
    try ; leads to having the script re-launching itself as administrator
    {
        if A_IsCompiled
            Run *RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%" /restart
        else
            Run *RunAs "%A_AhkPath%" /restart "%A_ScriptFullPath%"
    }
    ExitApp
}

	Send {Alt}
	TrayTip "alt up", "alt up"
} else {

	TrayTip "alt down", "alt down"
}

You may be able to address this via #MenuMaskKey. I have never really done anything with it, though, so I can't advise from experience with it.
