Toggle to hold down not releasing key

[Ophidahlia]

I'm gaming with only one hand and need to get one of my mouse buttons to toggle shift when pressed. I'm using:

xbutton2::
toggle := !toggle

if toggle
Send {LShift down}
else{
Send {LShift up}

return

Which will hold down the shift key but will not release it until I actually press the shift key itself regardless of toggle state (you can tell it's toggling because I have to push xbutton2 twice to toggle it back to on). {LShift up} doesn't actually seem to let go of the key press. It does the exact same thing with Ctrl.

Any insight would be appreciated. Would it be easy to just send a single LShift keypress after it's toggled off again?

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

*XButton2 Up::Send,% GetKeyState("LShift")?"{LShift Up}":"{LShift DownR}"

or:

Code: Select all

#InstallKeybdHook
XButton2 Up::Send, {LShift DownR}
<+XButton2 Up::Send, {LShift Up}

Thanks Rohwedder, that works just fine!
