My script needs a bit of help

[Evil-e]

The following script enables the use of a single key, to send a second key, after holding it down for 300ms:

Code: Select all

XButton2::TimeG:= A_PriorHotkey = "XButton2" ? TimeG : A_TickCount + 300 ;tap < 300ms
XButton2 Up::Send,% A_TickCount < TimeG ? "XButton2" : "{Esc}" ;sends either "XButton2" or "{Esc}"

Tap> XButton2 and sends itself and the script terminates at that point
HOLD> XButton2 for 300ms and it sends "ESC"

Once I have held the XButton2 for the necessary 300ms, I wish there to be a 3500ms delay PRIOR to the "ESC" key being
triggered.



PS> This script was given to me by Rohwedder back in December

Code: Select all

XButton2::
buttondown := (A_Sec * 1000) + A_MSec ; The current second * 1000 + the current millisecond
return

XButton2 Up::
buttonup := (A_Sec * 1000) + A_MSec
if (buttonup - buttondown) < 300
       {
        send {XButton2}
        return ; Not sure if this will end the hotkey thread here, or not. If not, you could replace this line with a goto and a label that skips past the "settimer" 
       }
SetTimer, sendesc, 3500
return

sendesc:
send {Esc}
return

There was an attempt made, and you'll have to do some debugging probably, but hopefully this should give you some idea on how to make it work.

	button0 := A_TickCount
once = 0
Return
~XButton2 Up::
once = 1
if (buttontime > 300){
	Sleep, 3500
	Send {Esc}
	button0 := A_TickCount
}
Return
