trying to make a script that holds down then lets go the key

[idkbroski]

i have been struggling to make a script that holds down the letter e for about 3 seconds then lets it go for 3 seconds and then does it again on repeat forever until i press F5 (i would also like F5 to start and stop it please)
thank you for reading this i would be very thankful if you could do this for me also one of the main reason for this is because i am not used to ahk v2
