Looking For Help with a Weird Hotkey

[bignstrauss]

So my keyboard is faulty and the combination of Shift + W + 2 does not work, it registers the Shift and W but not the 2 input if the previous two keys are pressed. I use this combination in one of my games to switch weapons while sprinting. The keyboard is out of warranty so I'm trying to make a script to work as a stop gap. It should be a simple one. If Shift + W is held and I press 2 the script will simply send a {2}.

I have a decent knowledge of AutoHotkey but am not sure if the above scenario can be done. Any information or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

+w::SoundBeep, 4000, 20 ;to switch weapons while sprinting
#IF GetKeyState("Shift","P") And GetKeyState("w","P")
*2::Send, 2
#IF

Edit because of amateur+'s objections

@Rohwedder, my keyboard doesn't pass 2 at all if Shift+w are already down.
If I look at GetKeyState("2", "P"), it is 0 at that moment.

Another moment: he won't be able to use Shift+W to sprint in his game, b/c with Shift being held down, W becomes a prefix and assigning w up:: won't help.

Hey all, thanks for the replies. I just bit the bullet and got a new keyboard so this question is no longer needed. Thanks anyway though!
