programming fire key which shows two times as lbutton

[Shekhar Singh]

how do i customise the fire key of my mouse ,

in keyboard history it comes up as two times of anything i assigned on lbutton .
any suggestions . ?

[mikeyww]

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33
LButton::
While GetKeyState("LButton", "P")
 Send 6
Return

---

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
LButton:: {
 While GetKeyState(ThisHotkey, "P")
  SendEvent 6
}

[Shekhar Singh]

no , it didnt worked both lbutton and fire key showed the same text with same number of 6

[mikeyww]

What is your specific example of what you would like achieve with the button?

[Shekhar Singh]

i would like to achieve
Alt + k with fire key
because that will help me in word .

[mikeyww]

Code: Select all

; This script reassigns the middle mouse button
#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33
#If WinActive("ahk_exe WINWORD.exe")
MButton::Send !k                      ; MBUTTON sends ALT-K
#If

---

Code: Select all

; This script reassigns the middle mouse button
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe WINWORD.exe")
MButton::Send '!k'                    ; MBUTTON sends ALT-K
#HotIf

is there a way to program the fire key separately from lbutton

[mikeyww]

Perhaps you can help me to understand what the fire key is. The last script does not use LButton.

See: mouse buttons.

If you have a script, you can post it in a new reply below. Indicate what the script does when you run it, and what it should do instead.

[Shekhar Singh]

fire key is an extra mouse key provided as 6th mouse button .

Itsjob is to do the same as whatever is assigned on LButton in quick sucession .
In some games , like counterstrike it is used to fire bullets .
from ahk key history , what i am seeing is thst it shows two times lbutton have been pressed .
that;s how it appears . any way to differentiate from l button

[mikeyww]

I see. My only suggestion is to see whether it comes with mouse utility software to reprogram that special button. If it is just always triggering LButton twice and cannot be changed, then this is more challenging unless you always want to use that button when you double-click things, instead of LButton. If that is the case, then a new hotkey can be crafted for LButton that distinguishes a single click from a double click. An example of that is provided in the AHK documentation.

Others may have additional ideas for you here.

hi sir , i will take that ,
can you help with the code to make double click a separate hotkey .
to put the required code to press Alt + h
thanks .

[mikeyww]

Instead of writing the script, I have cited the script that has already been written to do that.

[Shekhar Singh]

hi sir,
i ran into one issue , although its working ,
but on a single press , its not pressing lbutton but sending text " LButton"

[Shekhar Singh]

i used ,
Send , {LButton}
it worked , but i am not able to select items by dragging lbutton across . this is issue i am currently facing.

That’s because you reassigned lbutton to only click lbutton… mikeyww will know more but I suspect this is a case where hotkey modifier symbols are needed.

[Shekhar Singh]

hi @mikeyww sir ,
can you help with this issue , i am a but not select text .

[DuckingQuack]

So, the problem with slapping a modifier symbol in there like ~ would be that when you use the fire key, it would probably try double clicking (highlighting text or activating an icon). I don’t have any good suggestions outside of: if your mouse came with software that allows changing what key they simulate, then you could use that software to avoid messing with lbutton. Logitech and Razor normally have this kind of software support, so depending on your manufacturer, you may want to check their websites for something to support your mouse.

[Shekhar Singh]

no additional customisable sofware is provided with mouse.

The fire key generally just repeats the action in quick succession, most mice that have them contain software to change the keys action, I for example use a Reddragon m913 wireless mouse and set the keys function to Ctrl though I should note when rebinding the key it loses the repeat quickly effect on my mouse however my mouse software also allows me to make custom macros so i can hold down any key and i put a 20ms delay between the down/up to imitate pressing the key faster than humanly possible (can reduce the delay further but it tends to cause issues. Highly suggest playing with the software that came with your mouse or using ahk to make any other key repeat the same action
