I think that would spam the key up and down shouldn't it be: (this emulates key repeat of a held key)

Code: Select all

F3::
Loop
 Send {x Down}
return
If there is issue of lag or the computer is not responsive add a minimal sleep to the loop.

Code: Select all

F3::
Loop
{
 Send {x Down}
 Sleep 10
}
return

Xtra is right. My script does not hold down the key.
