Execute hotkey on Keyup

[gyaani]

HotKeySet ("#n" , "function")

The function fires as soon as 'n' is pressed. I want it to wait for the up event of the 'n' key.

Something like

HotKeySet ("#{n down}{n up}" , "temp1")

Possible ?

Have you tried

HotKeySet("{#n up}", "temp1")

 

[Exit]

perhaps

expandcollapse popup

#include <Misc.au3>
Global $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

; Exit on SHIFT+ESC

;~ test If hotkeys are available
If HotKeySet("+{ESC}", "_Exit") = 0 Then Exit MsgBox(0, "", "Hotkey 'Shift+ESC' ESC already set.", 0)
If HotKeySet("#n", "_WIN_n") = 0 Then Exit MsgBox(0, "", "Hotkey 'Win+n' already set.", 0)
If HotKeySet("n", "_ignore") = 0 Then Exit MsgBox(0, "", "Hotkey 'n' already set.", 0)

HotKeySet("n") ; release hotkey 'n'

While Sleep(1000) ; keep script running
WEnd

Func _WIN_n()
    HotKeySet("#n", "_ignore")
    HotKeySet("n", "_ignore")   ; to disable auto keyboard repeat
    While _IsPressed("4e", $hDLL)
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd

;~  insert your working code here
    Beep(1000, 100)    ; just an audiable placeholder
;~  end of working code

    HotKeySet("#n", "_WIN_n")
    HotKeySet("n")
EndFunc   ;==>_WIN_n

Func _ignore()
EndFunc   ;==>_ignore

Func _Exit()
    DllClose($hDLL)
    Exit MsgBox(64 + 262144, Default, "Bye, bye", 1)
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit
