Hold Shift Key

[Pfaeff]

hi, I want the Shift key to be pressed for a defined period of time. For this, I am using this (test)script:

Send("{LSHIFT down}") 
  sleep(1000)  
  Send("{LSHIFT up}")
  sleep(50)
  EXIT

But after the script is turned off or whatever the Shift key is still pressed.

The LSHIFT (or RSHIFT) up doesn't seem to work (the same for the ALT key)

How can I fix it ?

thx

Also hold down scift key for 5 secs and see i sticky keys it on if yes hold done shift again for 5 secs to turn it off..

If sitcky keys is off you have fixed it....

sticky keys is off, but i'll try a bit

I found a little workaround, but its not very nice I wrote a little program wich uses keyb_event to release the shift key every 50ms and for

"holding" the key, i made a little loop.
