You can't make up your own syntax. From BlockInput

BlockInput, OnOff
BlockInput, SendMouse
BlockInput, MouseMove ; [v1.0.43.11+]

Afaics, Blockinput, Send is valid syntax, but since the script doesn't send anything, I am not sure what OP's code snippet wants to prove:

SendMouse

This mode only blocks user inputs while specific send and/or mouse commands are in progress. Specify one of the following words:

Send: The user's keyboard and mouse input is ignored while a Send or SendRaw is in progress (the traditional SendEvent mode only). This prevents the user's keystrokes from disrupting the flow of simulated keystrokes. When the Send finishes, input is re-enabled (unless still blocked by a previous use of BlockInput On).

[...]

@ibieel, based on these docs, I can't see anything unexpected here.

I'm so embarrassed. I looked at the top of the doc page and just saw those three options without reading further down. That's what happens when you're in a hurry. My apologies @ibieel!

when I give the command "BlockInput, On" I can't type anything.
so I figured that the "BlockInput, Send" command would also block the keyboard to the point of not being able to type anything, but you're telling me that it only blocks the keyboard when a "Send" command is being executed in the script?

my script have "SendMode, Input" , will this work? I think I need other alternatives
