The script below works but when I release the keys the monitor turns on. How can I make it so that code executes on release instead of press of appskey & left arrow key combination ??
Well, on my system, that doesn't happen, but you could try to
use Up:
Code: Select all
Appskey & left up::
SendMessage 0x112, 0xF170, 2, , Program Manager
Return
This works too on my system (but then again, it works already without it).
But the docs recommend a
sleep instead, in a case like this, to prevent the effect you describe: Please see this example:
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/PostMessage.htm#Examples
Code: Select all
#o:: ; Win+O hotkey that turns off the monitor.
Sleep 1000 ; Give user a chance to release keys (in case their release would wake up the monitor again).
; Turn Monitor Off:
SendMessage, 0x112, 0xF170, 2,, Program Manager ; 0x112 is WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF170 is SC_MONITORPOWER.
; Note for the above: Use -1 in place of 2 to turn the monitor on.
; Use 1 in place of 2 to activate the monitor's low-power mode.
return
Or, try to combine both
