Hotkey function that does different routines if another key is pressed or released Topic is solved

[astute65_aardvark20]

I've got this hotkey routine so far:

Code: Select all

w::
Send, {w Down}
If (GetKeyState("LShift", "P"))
	Send, {LShift}
Return

Is there a way to make this routine also do

Code: Select all

Send, {w Up}
Sleep, 30
Send, {w Down}

If "LShift" is released, and do it within the "w::" hotkey function?

Else can be used in conjunction with If. KeyWait will wait for a key press or release if needed.

When I tried over and over to use KeyWait, LShift with Else If statements, I couldn't get it to work... Not sure what I was doing wrong. I went back to the original script, stared at it for a while, then the light bulb went on:

Code: Select all

w::
Send, {w Down}
While (GetKeyState("w", "P")) {
    If (GetKeyState("LShift", "P")) {
        Send, {LShift Down}
        KeyWait, LShift, L
        Send, {LShift Up}{w Up}
        Sleep, 30
        Send, {w Down}
    }
}
Return

Is this what you had in mind all along, or did you have a totally different method? It does work, so yay!

I actually have no idea what the script should do, because you provided no description. Great if it works!
