Very basic keypress help

[technopagan 0]

Hello all,

I'm completely new to AutoIT, not new to the world of scripting in general, but I'm not familiar with what I might be doing wrong.

I'm trying to setup a very basic keypress, to where if I press ";" it keypresses "q" and if I press "," it keypresses "w". The reason for this is I mouse left handed, and a game I'm playing doesn't accept entry of the ";" or "," keys as valid keys, which I use in my standard setup.

Here's my code, but if I try to run it with AutoIt, I just get a flashing screen and the app seems to close, with no effect on my desired keys. If anyone could point me in the right direction on what I might be missing in my script setup, it would be greatly appreciated.

HotKeySet(";", "pressedSemi")
HotKeySet(",", "pressedComma")

Func pressedSemi()
    Send("q")
EndFunc

Func pressedComma()
    Send("w")
EndFunc

My problem now is that my hotkey, when I do a press, is acting as if it's only occasionally tapping the key (the char moves very slowly in game),

It should feel like it's being "held down" since AutoIt is supposed to capture the key completely?

Here's what I have if anyone has any advice, thanks for any input,

Opt("TrayIconHide", 0)
HotKeySet(";", "pressedSemi")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func pressedSemi()
    Send("q")
EndFunc
