Simple Key Repeater

[JamieRollins]

i'm just getting started on this, could someone just post a simple key repeater.. ex: when space pressed it simulates pressing space repeatedly.

thx!

Look up HotKeySet in the helpfile.

HotKeySet ("{SPACE}", "Lots_Of_Spaces")

While 1

Sleep (100)

WEnd

Func Lots_Of_Spaces()

HotKeySet ("{SPACE}")

Send ("{SPACE}")

HotKeySet ("{SPACE}", "Lots_Of_Spaces")

EndFunc

That sends 1 extra space for every space you press (hold it down to do more, or put that in a loop).

The space key that the human presses is "absorbed" by HotKeySet --- so the function must send at least 2 spaces to do what you wanted. Try this:

HotKeySet("{SPACE}", "Lots_Of_Spaces")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Lots_Of_Spaces()
    HotKeySet("{SPACE}")
    Send("{SPACE 2}")
    HotKeySet("{SPACE}", "Lots_Of_Spaces")
EndFunc  ;==>Lots_Of_Spaces

You can change the 2 in this line Send("{SPACE 2}") to increase the number of spaces that will be sent each time you press the space bar.

Welcome to the forums JamieRollins. Enjoy greenmachine's code with my minor tweak...

Hmm, looks like I forgot about HotKeySet stealing the key. Thanks for the fix plato.
