One key with two functions

01 Aug 2019, 11:55

I am wanting to make one key do two things. For example if I hit the X key on the keyboard, is it possible to make a script that uses the X key as normal then additionally can add a left mouse click. For an example say I’m playing a FPS and X is my zoom and left click is my fire. The script I am wondering if possible would allow you to press X which would zoom then instantly fire making quick scopes possible with one key press.

If I wanted three different keys to do the same thing would I just make a script like this

~x::Click
~c::Click
~v::Click

All in one script?

This doesn't work for quickscope, because click first then x

Yes, Do all hotkeys in one file.
and add #IfWinActive so your keys will active only when they needed.

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe game.exe
	$x::SendInput, x{Click}
	$c::SendInput, c{Click}
	$v::SendInput, v{Click}
#IfWinActive

It works but here’s an issue. If I hit it it works one time. Then if I let off and hit it again it will repeatedly work without letting off. Anyway to make it do so on the first click?

You can press x and on key up - press click

Code: Select all

$x::
	SendInput, x
	KeyWait, x
	SendInput, {Click}
	return

This will make it click when letting off of x?
