How to stop a hotkey firing if held?

[BaconCatBug]

Hi all! I have a very simple script that I am utilising that simply loops an action when I hit a button until it gets pressed again:

However, if I accidentally or otherwise hold down the X key, it'll keep sending the action and will no longer stop when I hit X again. I'd be very grateful if someone could point me in the direction of how to fix this.

Checkout GetKeyState to see if you can implement. Let us know if you get stuck.

Thanks for the help!

I eventually found a solution with Google-fu that uses SetTimer instead:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance, Force
SendMode Input
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%

SetTimer TimerName, 1000

X::
Toggle := !Toggle

TimerName:
    If (!Toggle)
        Return
	send ABC{space}
return
