forward & back mouse buttons for volume problem Topic is solved

[sulphuricsaliva]

Hello, like the title says I'm trying to replace the two extra mouse buttons (browser forward and back) to control the volume.
I have this:

Code: Select all

XButton1::Send {Volume_Down}
XButton2::Send {Volume_Up}
return

It works but I can't long press these buttons, only single presses. Can anyone help? I'm sure it must be something simple but I can't figure it out.
Cheers.

Code: Select all

XButton1::
While GetKeyState(A_ThisHotkey, "P") {
 Send {Volume_Down}
 SoundBeep, 1500, 30
 Sleep, 50
}
Return

 Send {Volume_Down}
 SoundBeep, 1500, 30
 Sleep, 50
}
Return

This works, thanks but it behaves in a strange manner, not like the default volume up and down keys. Is there a way to make it work as default? (speed, acceleration and increments)

You would have to program that into your script. The A_TimeSince... built-in variables can help you determine what acceleration factor you need. You can then adjust the sleep accordingly. If you need different increments, you can send the key more than once. You build whatever rules you want for the increments & acceleration.

It's not absolutely perfect, but It's pretty close. Thank you so much for your help.
Cheers, be safe.
