Thanks, #d works, but MKISH, as for LWINUP, that was my problem. I was trying to use it, but it was acting as if I didn't have the library, or something, installed that calls LWINUP. LWINDOWN and RWINDOWN worked just fine, but neither UP key.

Hey all, back again for some help. I'm once again just trying to write a simple macro... Send ("{LWINDOWN}") - works fine Send ("d") - works fine Then I try to send the "LWINUP" function, and LWINUP simply never turns orange, it stays grey like normal text. Any ideas as to why this is happening? The help file simply says, {LWINDOWN} presses the left windows key down until the {LWINUP} key is sent. Am I missing something here? I've checked and double checked the syntax...

Thank you ajag for your helpful and clear response. I'll test this out tonight when I get home, I think I have everything I need now.

@Firefox Sorry, but that didn't help. For one, the help file is not really helpful for things like this. You didn't give me much reference to go on. See what part of helpfile? I typed +{SPACE} into the search, and recieved an enormous list of articles, just like always (the reason I'm here). I tried HotKeySet ( "{LSHIFT}{SPACE}" , "doubleclick" ) and HotKeySet ( "{LSHIFT}+{SPACE}" , "doubleclick" ) Neither works, so if you have the actual code to try, I would appreciate it. You said that is the syntax, but it won't work? So apparently it's not the syntax? Why won't "this one" work?

Actually, I tested it right now =) Works perfectly kylomas! Thank you! However... now my next question, is there a way to make the hotkey a combination of keys, and what is the syntax for that? i.e. Shift-Space = doubleclick() I tried just adding: HotKeySet ( "{LSHIFT}" , "{Space}" , "doubleclick" ) but that certainly didn't work =) May I pick your brains some more?

Thank you very much, both. After christmas I'll give this another shot. I know it's current state wouldn't run, sorry. I was just in the middle of editing and deleting, and the While loop is currently just empty, I know. The If was going to be for (what I was thinking at least), If... _IsPressed, Space, = doubleclick function. But I didn't know where to go from there, and IsPressed was not working at all. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try your code tonight kylomas.

Hello everyone, if someone could please help me with this, I would really appreciate it. I am trying to write a very, very simply script, but having trouble figuring out what I'm doing wrong. I imagine I could figure it out... eventually, but searching the forums and trying different example is cumbersome. All I want to do is make a script that gives me a simple, custom mapped hotkey. Here is what I want the script to do... 1. Run script 2. Run indefinitely and do nothing unless hotkey is pressed 3. Click a location on the screen when hotkey is pressed 4. Continue to run, and respond to the hotkey Really simple right? I would have thought so. Here is the state of the code as it is now, please forgive how rough and simple it is, I am a TOTAL noob at AutoIt. #include <Misc.au3> HotKeySet ( "{ESC}", Terminate() ) HotKeySet ( "{Space}" , doubleclick() ) While 1 If WEnd Func doubleclick() Mouseclick ( "left" , 885, 528 , 2 ) EndFunc Func Terminate() Exit 0 EndFunc So the results I've had so far... At first, I had the doubleclick() function inside the While loop, and that caused an infinite loop of my mouse being stuck at the coordinate, double clicking, and forcing me to log out to stop the script. Also, I never pressed the "Space" button, which I thought is the hotkey that I specified to call the doubleclick() fuction. The doubleclick() the runs as soon as I start the script, never waiting or responding to the hotkey. What am I doing wrong here? I tried to go and mess around with IsPressed, but the code doesn't seem to exist in my library. Typing _ispressed, does nothing and shows up as black, plain text. Anyone help?
