Help with a simple TOGGLE script?

[itisme]

Hi there... I have a macro that enables me to toggle a button to keep pressing it... so I press "a" it types"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....." etc etc. I then press "a" again to stop it. If the "a" is repeating... and I simply hold down shift it will type "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA". I also have a F11 to set everything off and play a sound.

Code: Select all

F11::
	settimer, pressZero, off
	SoundBeep, 300, 100
Return

a::
	repeata:= not repeata
	if gather
	{
		settimer, pressZero, 300
	}
	else
	{
		settimer, pressZero, off
	}
Return

pressZero:
	Send, {blind}a
Return

What I would love to do is have a way to stop the toggle on another keypress.... so if it is typing "aaaaaaaaaaaaaa" and I press "1" it stops the "a" toggle and types a single "1"?

Is that possible?

Code: Select all

#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2
$a::
If on := !on {
 SetTimer, pressZero, 300
 Return
}
~1::
F11::
SetTimer, pressZero, Off
SoundBeep, 300, 100
on := False
Return
pressZero:
Send {Blind}a
Return

Hi... Thanks for the reply... this seems to work well... is there way to have a table of keys and test them all with a loop rather than list them all.

The code will stop and type the 1st char if I press 1... so I need to make a 1:: type line for every active key to stop is... is there a way to have a table of keys that "won't stop" it and everything else dose? Or do I need to make a entry for every key on the keyboard that dose stop it?

You could list every key, or you could use Input, or A_PriorKey with A_TimeIdleKeyboard.

ok... how about making the toggle stop on the press of anykey? Is that possible?

Yes. You can run a timer that checks the A_TimeIdleKeyboard. When that value drops below your threshold, you can issue the toggle. See my earlier post with the link.
