Autofire and toggle

[Geff T]

Welcome to ahk, Geff T

ty

i have had to give in and ask a Q here https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic ... 827#p85827but i wont go to OT

[evilC]

Please can we remove the GetKeyState technique for detecting release of a key? IMHO it is bad advice (Only works with one key) and is inefficient (Potentially introduces up to 10ms lag if you use a Sleep 10)

See here: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19745

Code: Select all

*Space::
Send {Space}
Sleep 250
Return

works for me (holding space presses it exactly 4 times per second), no need for a loop, i guess my keyboard works weird?

could it be that the hotkey and the key sent being the same key, that it's creating a loop on it's own

ok, i've just checked, it still works when the input isn't in the output

Code: Select all

Space::
Send hello
Sleep 250
Return

this would probably be a bad thing if i wasn't trying to make a loop anyway

yeah i noticed that too with my random number generator, while holding control j it sends random number, enter, and it sends J's too

Code: Select all

^j::
    SoundBeep, 525, 100 
    Random, rand, 1, 10000
    send, %rand% {enter}
	return

it turns out it's tied to the physical keyboard's auto-repeat feature, and is interrupted by other keypresses
i used this instead:

Code: Select all

SetKeyDelay -1
t=
Space Up::t=
Space::
t=1
While t {
Send % " "
Sleep 250
}
Return

it's basically just the toggle method but without the threading problem

If you want to use a spammer for a key, just use this. It's small, simple, and can be used anywhere in a script, not just a hotkey.
