Prevent typing letters at the end, when holding a button Topic is solved

[soheill0098]

I remap the hotkey Ctrl+l of Microsoft Edge browser to holding the key l for short time. so when I hold this button for example for half a second, I can write on browser bar of Microsoft Edge to search. but the problem is, when I hold the button for longer time for example 2 seconds it starts typing

lllll

on the search bar. so I am trying to modify following script so that at the end when I hold the button for longer time it doesn't do anything (does not type

lllll

at the search bar).

Here is my script:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe msedge.exe
~$l::
KeyWait,l,T0.25
if (ErrorLevel)
{
 send,^l
 sleep,100
 send,{Delete}
 sleep,1000
 send,{Delete}
  }

return

You can remove the tilde to avoid the repetitions.

Thank you! But there is still an issue with

Code: Select all

$l

: it cause problems for typing the words that contain

l

it cause the letters of the words be disarranged when I type them quickly. I had this problem before. in this post : https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=88365

Hallo,
perhaps:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe msedge.exe
$l::
SendInput, l
KeyWait,l,T0.25
if (ErrorLevel)
{
	send,^l
	sleep,100
	send,{Delete}
	sleep,1000
	send,{Delete}
}
KeyWait,l
return

or:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe msedge.exe
$l::
KeyWait,l,T0.25
if (ErrorLevel)
{
	send,^l
	sleep,100
	send,{Delete}
	sleep,1000
	send,{Delete}
	KeyWait, l
}
Else
	SendInput, l
return

I just realized that there is an issue when I use this script. I use Persian language on the keyboard as an alternative language for English. so when my keyboard is on Persian language and I press the button l on keyboard, rather than typing the Persian letter for the button which is " م " it types " l ". Can you please help me to fix this?
