Bind right shift to something

[tufflax]

Hey!

I read that the shift buttons can not be used as hotkeys (the documentation for HotKeySey). My problem is that I want a script that does just that---binds a function to shift.

You see, I want the script to pop-up an annoying alert window when the right shift button is pressed, because I want to learn to use left shift instead. I think using the right shift is a bad habit of mine.

Can this be done with autoit? If not, can you recommend any way of doing it with any other language or software?

Using _IsPressed might be more up your alley.

#include <Misc.au3>

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    Sleep ( 250 )
    If _IsPressed("A1", $dll) Then
        MsgBox(0,"Right Shift Key", "Stop using me!!")
    EndIf
WEnd
DllClose($dll)

Great, thank you!

You are welcome. Hope it helps you re-train your hands to use the left shift.
