Can't make key be held down Topic is solved

[Cerulium]

Yesterday I noticed I cannot make a key be held down to continuously send the key.

Code: Select all

\::
Send, {o down}
return

I've tried every form of the code above I can think of, every send method I can think of, and in another script. It sends o once or not at all depending on send method. I don't know when this started and have no idea what's causing it. I've restarted my pc. Any ideas?

I imagine that it actually is holding the key down. It's just not having the result you expect. Check the KeyHistory, and I'm confident you'll see that o was pressed down and was not released, like this:

Code: Select all

DC  02B	 	d	38.19	\              	CodeQuickTester*
4F  018	i	d	0.00	o              	
DC  02B	 	u	0.11	\

Hallo,
see: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/misc/RemapController.htm#auto-repeating-controller-buttons

Some programs or games might require a key to be sent repeatedly (as though you are holding it down on the keyboard)

Try:

Code: Select all

\::Repeat("o", 30) ; a Timer sends {Blind}{o Down} every 30 ms
q::Repeat("o") ; deletes the Timer and sends {Blind}{o Up}

Repeat(Key, Period:=0) {
	Static Repeat := {}
	Repeat[Key] ?: Repeat[Key] := Func("KeyDown").Bind(Key)
	Timer := Repeat[Key]
	SetTimer,% Timer,% Period ? Period : "Delete"
	SendInput,% Period?"":"{Blind}{" Key " Up}" Repeat[Key]:=""
} KeyDown(Key) {
	SendInput, {Blind}{%Key% Down}
}
