Right click with shift down, unactive window
Posted: 20 Nov 2023, 05:30
Hi, for the past several days, I've been unsuccessfully trying to send a Right-Click signal while holding down Shift to a specified window that is not in focus. I've tried different approaches, but none of them seem to work.
The script has to work only in the specified window so that I don't affect the whole system with Shift. Here are the approaches I've tried. Note that in these examples, I use the left click for testing purposes. Btw I'm sure that ahk_id is correct since left click works fine.
All of these seem to give similar result - sending left click without shift being held down, Winspector results are as follows:
^q WM_LBUTTONDOWN, WM_LBUTTONUP;
^w or ^e or ^r give same result of WM_KEYDOWN, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, WM_LBUTTONUP, WM_KEYUP.
I'd apprecieate any kind of ideas on how to make that work.
