How to remap: {CTRL down}{a down}{CTRL up}{a up} :: F2

[Sandro_spb]

Hi, when I press F2 on my keyboard it sends: {CTRL down}{a down}{CTRL up}{a up} . How to remap this sequence as F2? Without harming Ctrl+A usage

Here this sequence:

Code: Select all

F2:

A2  01D	 	d	9.39	LControl 
41  01E	 	d	0.00	a              	
A2  01D	 	u	0.09	LControl       	
41  01E	 	u	0.00	a 

Ctrl+A:
             	
A2  01D	 	d	2.67	LControl       	
41  01E	 	d	0.41	a              	
41  01E	 	u	0.14	a              	
A2  01D	 	u	0.26	LControl

Isn’t this the same as your old thread on the same topic? Are you now looking to do the same in AHK v2?

Yes, I try to make it on V2. How it's possible? On V1 some times Ctrl+A doesn't work properly.

Show what you tried in v2.

@boiler,

Code: Select all

F3::KeyHistory

^F3::ListHotkeys


Myflag :=0

$*a::{
    if (GetKeyState("Ctrl", "P") and Myflag) {
        Send "{F2}"
        Myflag := 0
    }
    Send "{a}"
    return
}
$*Ctrl::{
    Myflag := 1
    Send "{Ctrl}"
    return
}

This code, gives me eroor:

Put the following line as the first line in each of your functions:

Code: Select all

global Myflag

@boiler, I added, but still same error:

Code: Select all

F3::KeyHistory

^F3::ListHotkeys

global Myflag


Myflag :=0

$*a::{
    if (GetKeyState("Ctrl", "P") and Myflag) {
        Send "{F2}"
        Myflag := 0
    }
    Send "{a}"
    return
}
$*Ctrl::{
    Myflag := 1
    Send "{Ctrl}"
    return
}

Read my last post again. Declaring global outside the functions doesn't do anything in v2.

@Sandro_spb
Pretty sure if you are evaluating an If statement you need to provide an expression against 'MyFlag'. What are you evaluating MyFlag for exactly? If it passes the If statement and you set it right back to 0 why not just omit the MyFlag from your if statement entirely?

Try this if you are just making sure MyFlag equates to or less than 0

Code: Select all

if (GetKeyState("Ctrl", "P") && Myflag <= 0)

[boiler]

@Alpha_Moose - There already is an expression that is evaluating Myflag. Where it says and MyFlag, that part will be evaluated as True when it equals 1 and false when it equals 0. No change is necessary regarding that.

[Alpha_Moose]

@boiler
Ah that would make sense. You're definitely correct about the global variable thing - AFAIK V2 doesn't support dynamic vars which would explain why MyFlag is coming up as null.

[boiler]

I'm not sure how you're trying to display it, but it should display as 0 or 1 once the scope is set correctly as I described.

@boiler, thank you! Now there is no errors, BUT remap is not working. When i press F2 it works as "a".

Could you please advice - how it's better tor remap F2 buttona working as Ctrl+a -> to work as F2?

Code: Select all

F3::KeyHistory

^F3::ListHotkeys

global Myflag:=0


Myflag :=0


$*a::{

 global
 if (GetKeyState("Ctrl", "P") and Myflag) {
        Send "{F2}"
        Myflag := 0
    }
    Send "{a}"
    return
}

$*Ctrl::{
    global
    Myflag := 1
    Send "{Ctrl}"
    return
}

I'm not really following what you're trying to accomplish, and these types of remapping scripts don't really appeal to me. Hopefully someone else can help from this point.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
F2::Send '{Ctrl down}{a down}{Ctrl up}{a up}'

@mikeyww, thank you for helping me! I try to do opposite thing. when I press F2 on my keyboard it works as shortcut Ctral+A , but I need to remap it back to F2

[mikeyww]

1. What should happen when you press Ctrl+A?

2. What should happen when you press F2?
