NumPad x2

[zoverlvx]

I'm using NumPad numerals to type numbers that help me navigate through IBM windows at a faster rate.
Is there any way to specify a NumPad numeral x2 in order to send commands/whatever I want?


This is what I have and it works for what it's intended

Code: Select all

NumPad1::
send, 2
send, {enter}
sleep, 200
send, 18
send, {enter}
return

however I'd like it closer to this

Code: Select all

NumPad1 & NumPad1::  ;have also tried &&
send, 2
send, {enter}
sleep, 200
send, 18
send, {enter}
return

so that when I type NumPad1 twice it'll follow the command.

I've also tried

Code: Select all

{NumPad1 2}::
send, 2
send, {enter}
sleep, 200
send, 18
send, {enter}
return

Neither works. I know it's got to be a simple solution, but everything that I know so far isn't fixing it.

Code: Select all

Numpad1::
If (A_PriorKey="Numpad1")
{
MsgBox Hi, you've pressed %A_ThisHotkey% twice!
}
return

Close to what you're looking for?

Edit: Better code by Xtra down below; I didn't realize A_PriorHotkey was a thing.

No, my problem is with the hotkey itself. I want it to send something when I type 22, but only when those 2's are from the number pad.
I've already tried a couple combinations to make it work. Below is what I've tried:

Code: Select all

NumPad22:: ;then send whatever I want

Code: Select all

NumPad2 & NumPad2::

Code: Select all

NumPad2 + NumPad2::

Code: Select all

{NumPad2 2}::

I have no idea what it needs as a hotkey configuration to get this program to work.

Well, if you take my code and change it to Numpad2 instead of Numpad1 (in both parts), it should be working. Do you not get a MsgBox to appear when you press 22 in a row, using the numpad?

Code: Select all

Numpad2:= 0

$Numpad2::
if ((A_TickCount - Numpad2) <= 250)
	Send 2,{enter}
Sleep 200
Send 18,{enter}
else
	Send 2
Numpad2:= A_TickCount
Return 

You can try this code has not been tested

Code: Select all

~Numpad2::
    if (A_PriorHotkey = A_ThisHotkey) && (A_TimeSincePriorHotkey <= 400)
	    Send, This is my message when numpad2 is pressed 2x within 400ms!
return

?

	Send 2

Nothing really seems to be working for this.

What's a "best practice" for telling the code to run a certain way if and only if such-and-such a window is running?
It won't work if I only invoke the name of the program (even though it's on the desktop). Do I need to use the C:/ path in the script to get it to run?

[Exaskryz]

Either you can use for a hotkey #IfWinActive, or you can use If WinActive() within the hotkey. (The second part is two different links).

You likely don't need the C:/ path in the script.

I think we'll need a bit more information and what code it is you have running down (is it kwstas13's latest code?)
