HotKeySet for pressing of control key twice

[swe20144]

Hi Guys

Any idea why this code doesnt work?

HotKeySet("{LCTRL}{LCTRL}", "ShowMessage") ;Control pressed twice
 

I want to run some code when the user presses the control key twice.

Thanks

Sam

What about increasing a counter to check the amount of times you pressed it?

Even this doesnt work:

HotKeySet("{LCTRL}", "ShowMessage") ;Control pressed twice

If you look here, you will see that CTRL cannot be bound using HotKeySet().

Try _IsPressed from Misc.au3.

Theres a windows application that is able to do it,

Thats why I was wondering how to do it in my autoit script.

You could also have a look at the >HotStrings UDF, it may work for what you are trying to do.  As AlmarM mentioned, you can use _IsPressed as shown in the help file.

Again, _IsPressed will check if a key is pressed. I think you want this.
