Difference between KeyWait and keybinds for up/down

[ima18h]

Is there a difference between using keywait and using something like this:

MButton::Send {Blind}{Ctrl Down}{Shift Down}
MButton Up::Send {Blind}{Shift Up}{Ctrl Up}

Does keywait use more resources or?

After testing simple script like

Code: Select all

~LButton Up::ToolTip, Left Button Up ; 0.03

~LButton:: ; 0.03
KeyWait, LButton
ToolTip, Left Button Up
Return

both executing tooltip at 0.03s. Both are same.

Yes, these can be problems when multiple keys are being pressed, but for many other situations, they are fine. In some situations, the key-up hotkey is not what is needed. It depends on the circumstance.
