Long press right mouse key to send alt f4

[sulphuricsaliva]

Hello, I'm trying to make a long press on the right mouse button (like half a second or so) to perform as alt+F4. I have similar functions with the mouse but can't figure this one out. This is what I have.

Code: Select all

$*rbutton::
Send {Blind}{rbutton}
KeyWait, rbutton, T0.4
If ErrorLevel {
	Send {!f4}
	KeyWait, rbutton
}
return

[Mod edit: [code][/code] tags added.]

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

The Alt modifier ! is not part of the F4 key name, so it doesn’t belong inside the braces with it:

Code: Select all

Send, !{F4}

Yeah I noticed that right after posting this but it still doesn't work. The script works with a keyboard key but not the right mouse button. :\

See if this works.
Pressing the button starts a counter that stops when the button is released, if it is shorter than set, the condition of sending the keyboard shortcut does not work.

Code: Select all

~+LButton::start := A_TickCount
~+LButton Up::
If (A_TickCount - start < 1200)
  Return
Send {!f4}
Return

The sign "~" gives priority to this keyboard proces.

@sulphuricsaliva — I’m away from a computer with a physical mouse right now, so I can’t test it. Try replacing the Send with a MsgBox just to isolate the problem (i.e., to eliminate the possibility that the Send !{F4} is getting executed but doesn’t send correctly while the right mouse button is held down).

Hi boiler.

I don't know if it's Send {!f4} 0 Send ! {f4}. I just copied and pasted. Sorry

by the way, what button (option) in the post editor makes a text come out inside a square?

The script above was taught to me by mikeyww, I forgot to mention it.

I really appreciate the effort but still doesn't work. I've had trouble creating hotkeys with rmouse before...

Use the Code tag button </>.

Wow that script is very confusing. Anyway, the problem here is specifically about the rbutton. Any other button or key works.

You can do a ~RButton:: (see Hotkey) and Sleep as much as you want, then check again using GetKeyState if right click is still being pressed, and then maybe use WinKill, A (standing for Active) if you want to kill the active app (it does the same thing as a ALT+F4)

I can probably try making a script for this, but I don't want to write a script for another person (because asking someone to make an ahk script for you on a autohotkey forum is kind of lame, lol)

ceyhunveysel aren't you sweet.
