Count timer to use second button

[ilical]

G'morning u all!

I was trying to create a code the press a hotkey (example: numlock), and it starts to timer counter, so if i press the same hotkey before it's 15 seconds, it'll press shift + numlock, otherwise, would press numlock again. Could anyone help me?

I tried this but it's not working, idk why

Code: Select all

NumLock::
	If Started
	{
		SetTimer, Counter, off
		Send {NumLock}
	}
	Else
	{
		If Timer < 14000
		{
		Send +{Numlock}
		}
		Else
		{
		Send {Numlock}
		}
	}
Return

Code: Select all

$x::
SetTimer, Go, -15000
Send % (running ? "+" : "") StrReplace(A_ThisHotkey, "$")
running := True
Return

Go:
SoundBeep, 1500, 20
running := False
Return

Thanks bro! It's working perfectly! But there's just one problem, idk why, i can't change de "x" for another button like home page (i don't want a letter hotkey).

I did like this, could u tell me what is wrong?

Code: Select all

$Home::
SetTimer, Go, -15000
Send % (running ? "+" : "") StrReplace(A_ThisHotkey, "$")
running := True
Return

Go:
SoundBeep, 1500, 20
running := False
Return

Sending Home requires { and }.

Code: Select all

$Home::
SetTimer, Go, -15000
Send % (running ? "+" : "") "{" StrReplace(A_ThisHotkey, "$") "}"
running := True
Return

Go:
SoundBeep, 1500, 20
running := False
Return

now it's almost perfect! haha
just found out that i have another problem.
i remapped my numlock as home page, and this code doesn't work in this case. Do u have any idea? I used this code to remmap my numlock

NumLock::Browser_Home

It worked when I tried it. The sript has no effect on browser keys or NumLock directly. Remember, however, that Home itself will be sent as Shift+Home during the "running" period, regardless of which window is active.

The following version adds a message box to show you when "running" is active.

Code: Select all

$Home::
If !running
 MsgBox, 48, ON, Running, 1
SetTimer, Go, -15000
Send % (running ? "+" : "") "{" StrReplace(A_ThisHotkey, "$") "}"
running := True
Return

Go:
MsgBox, 64, OFF, Not running, 1
running := False
Return

If it does not work for you, you can post your entire script here.

sup mike or anyone else reading it!

Is there anyway of making it click several times in a row the key sent by the command?

I'm mean... When i press the hotkey, it'll send the other key 5 times with 50 ms cooldown. Is there a way of making it? I still don't get this advanced type of script.

Thanks everyone!

The Send command is sending the key. You can replicate that line any number of times in a row.
