Holding down shift + space not working

[maffle]

Hello,

I want this simple behavior, that when I hold down space, it would simulate holding down shift + space and when releasing it release both keys again. Tried this which doesnt work:

Code: Select all

space::Send "{Shift Down}{Space Down}{Space Up}{Shift Up}"

this is also not working:

Code: Select all

space::Send "+Space"

It seems to randomly release the keys when holding down the space button.

　If you need to continuously press the Space key, it is essential to minimize the part where the Shift state is sent.
The reason is simple. If the Space key is continuously pressed, a signal is generated every about 20ms.
If signals for pressing and releasing the Shift key are sent too frequently, it inevitably increases the likelihood of malfunction.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force

var := false
#HotIf (!var)
Space::  {
    global var := true
    send("{Blind}{LShift down}{Space Down}")
}
#HotIf (var)
*~Space up::  {
    global var := false
    if (!getKeyState("LShift", "P"))
        send("{Blind}{LShift up}")
}
#HotIf
