fail to map Shift-MButton Topic is solved

[surfactant]

In one of my CAD application, moving mouse cursor,, while holding down both Shift and MButton, would move an object.

I want to map a single key for the operation, but failed. Both mapping statements work the same way as z:MButton. What's wrong? Thanks!

Code: Select all

z::+MButton

z::MButton

Sorting out what AHK does it typically easy, because you can simply examine the KeyHistory. How your target window responds to AHK is another issue altogether.

@mikeyww Thank you for your reply! But not understand well enough.

I ran this,

Code: Select all

z::+MButton

I press down z key, then move mouse and release z key. The operation is same as z::MButton. Here is the key history:

Try:

Code: Select all

#InstallMouseHook
z::+MButton

Since you are seeing the code execute properly, the issue would appear to be how your target window is responding. Some windows may require admin mode or otherwise addressing user privileges.

You may also want to try Send or some variations of it, to see what happens, instead of remapping your key. The remap is explained as follows.

@mikeyww Thanks! After adding #InstallMouseHook, "z::+MButton" still works as "z::MButton".

I just figure it out:

Code: Select all

z::

SendInput {LShift Down}
SendInput {MButton Down}

keywait, z

SendInput {LShift Up}
SendInput {MButton Up}

return
