Sending a key twice in a row not working?

[Carces]

Hi, so I want a script that toggle on and off when I press F4, and while toggled on performs a loop.

This loop needs to send the right mouse button twice in quick succession, then wait a few seconds, then send it twice again, and so on.

I've used this same script with success before to create a loop that toggles on and off like I want, and it works here too, but for some reason it only sends the key once, not twice.

I've tried it this way:

Code: Select all

F4::
RepeatKey2 := !RepeatKey2
If RepeatKey2
	SetTimer, SendTheKey2, 300	; The "100" here is the number of milliseconds between repeats.
Else
	SetTimer, SendTheKey2, Off
Return

SendTheKey2:
Send {RButton}
Send {RButton}
Return

I've tried including a short Sleep command between the two Send commands, but it makes no difference.

I've also tried a slightly different script template, with the same results - it works, but only right clicks once, not twice.

Code: Select all

F4::
 {
   Toggle:=!Toggle

   While, Toggle
    {
		Send {RButton}
		Send {RButton}
		Sleep, 2000
    }
 }
Return

I think you are mistaken. You can test your script in Notepad. Examine the KeyHistory.

Code: Select all

#InstallMouseHook
#Persistent
RepeatKey2 := !RepeatKey2
If RepeatKey2
     SetTimer, SendTheKey2, -300
Else SetTimer, SendTheKey2, Off
Return

SendTheKey2:
Send {RButton}
Send {RButton}
Return

I agree that it is likely that it actually is sending it twice, but perhaps on the receiving end, they are in too close succession to have the desired effect of two separate clicks. Try adding something like Sleep, 100 in between the two.
