Sending 2 keys at once and preventing multi presses

[Aggronaught]

Hello everyone,

I'm a novice here. I just want to make a script to be able to send 2 keys with 1 key press but prevent 2nd key from being sent twice or more.

Basically, I want to remap END, to send END and DEL. However, DEL should not be send more than once every 1 sec, END needs to be send as many times as I press it.

I tried



from the documentation but it doesnt seem to do what I need it to do, cann it be done? thanks for your help.

Sorry, the forum wont allow me to post the code, but here it is

For some reason the if-line in its current version triggers cloudflare - also for me.

Strangely, some minor re-arrangement makes it okay. So here is your original code - slightly modified - so that it could be posted (but no answer to your question ):

Code: Select all

~End::
if (A_TimeSincePriorHotkey > 500 or A_PriorHotkey != "~End" )
{
    ; Too much time between presses, so this isn't a double-press.
    Send, Del
    return
}
Send, End
return

Sorry about the posting issue it has just been resolved

Thanks, @tank, for fixing it.

@Aggronaught, you might want to try this:

Code: Select all

last_del := 0    	; put this into the auto-execute section of the script (top of the script)

~End::
if ((A_tickcount - last_del) > 1000)
{
	last_del := A_tickcount
	Send, {Del}
}
return

A_tickcount is a built-in variable that returns the time in milliseconds since the system started.
Special keys like Del need to be put between { }, if you want to send them.
The ~ modifier makes sure that the End key is sent anyway with every key press.

thank you, is there anyway to check if DELETE key has been pressed manually? I run into the problem where I press DELETE manually because the script is either slow/too fast..I would like to keep the script but be able to check for manual DELETE press on top of the scripted press.

so it would work like this

When i press END,
it sends END everytime
only sends DELETE every 1 secs
but if it would check if I had pressed DELETE manually in the last second and if i had pressed DELETE manually in the previous second, it won't send DELETE again.

thanks a lot again.

If I understand correctly, this small change might help:

Code: Select all

last_del := 0    	; put this into the auto-execute section of the script (top of the script)

~Del::last_del := A_tickcount

~End::
if ((A_tickcount - last_del) > 1000)
{
	last_del := A_tickcount
	Send, {Del}
}
return

works perfectly, thank you so much.
