Disabling keys temporarily

[Ipooptoomuch]

Hello, I am writing a program that must hold down alt at all times but must let go of alt whenever I press s, or left click. I am not sure how to accomplish this, please help. I can't think of a way to use hotkeyset to do this.

EDIT FOR SECOND QUESTION: Ok I just tested the other part of my program and it disables keys that are hotkeyed, can I fix this? This program is just supposed to make my tyghv and b keys substitute for my corresponding 78451 and 2 keys on my numpad for warcraft 3 hotkeys.

$toggle=0

$exit=0

$x=1

hotkeyset ("_","kill")

hotkeyset ("+","reset")

hotkeyset ("{ENTER}","toggle")

hotkeyset ("t","send7")

hotkeyset ("y","send8")

hotkeyset ("g","send4")

hotkeyset ("h","send5")

hotkeyset ("b","send1")

hotkeyset ("n","send2")

func toggle()

if $toggle=1 Then

$toggle=0

else

$toggle=1

EndIf

EndFunc

func send7()

if $toggle=1 Then

send ("{NUMPAD7}")

EndIf

EndFunc

func send8()

if $toggle=1 Then

send ("{NUMPAD8}")

EndIf

EndFunc

func send4()

if $toggle=1 Then

send ("{NUMPAD4}")

EndIf

EndFunc

func send5()

if $toggle=1 Then

send ("{NUMPAD5}")

EndIf

EndFunc

func send1()

if $toggle=1 Then

send ("{NUMPAD1}")

EndIf

EndFunc

func send2()

if $toggle=1 Then

send ("{NUMPAD2}")

EndIf

EndFunc

func reset()

$toggle=0

EndFunc

func kill()

$exit=1

EndFunc

do

sleep (1000)

if $exit=1 Then

Exit

EndIf

until $x=0

One thing to do is change your Do/Until loop you have at the bottom into a While/Wend loop, its just more reliable for a default action, not that yours was incorrect

HotKeySet Steals keys for other uses, look into "_IsPressed" in the helpfile (I think its there)

Well after typing:

hotkeyset ("{ENTER}","toggle")

If you type:

hotkeyset ("{ENTER}")

Is should turn off enter as a hotkey, then just retype:

hotkeyset ("{ENTER}","toggle")

to restore enter as a hotkey.

Hope I helped
