Making Left Shift key toggle the Left Shift key

[Flictus]

I am trying to set up a macro that will run in the background so that when I press the Shift key once it will use the Shift Down command. When I press the shift key a second time I'd like to call the Shift Up command. Basically, I want to toggle the shift key to be up or down by pressing the shift key. I am trying to use it for games that require holding down the shift key to run. I'd like to press shift once to run and then again to stop running.

I can't get the left shift key to call the function. It works with other keys though like 1 or F12. But, even when the function gets called, it will send "lshift down" when I press the hotkey once but not "lshift up" when I press it again. Any ideas?

Here is my code:

CODE

#include <Misc.au3>

HotKeySet("lshift", "TogRun")

Global $paused = true

Func TogRun()

$paused = false

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1

If _IsPressed("12", $dll) Then

Send("{lshift up}")

ExitLoop

Else

Send("{lshift down}")

ExitLoop

EndIf

WEnd

DllClose($dll)

$paused = true

EndFunc

While $paused = true

Sleep(500)

WEnd

This what you trying to do?:

#include <Misc.au3>
Global $Shift = "", $dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")
While 1
    If _IsPressed("10", $dll) Then
        If $Shift = "" Or $Shift = 0 Then
            Send("{lshift up}")
            $Shift = 1
        ElseIf $Shift = 1 Then
            Send("{lshift down}")
            $Shift = 0    
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd
DllClose($dll)

This is not working. At least on Win10

Justman,

Did you notice that the last post in this thread dates from over 13 years ago and that the OP has not been online since then?

Please do not necro-post like this again - just open a new thread and link to the old one if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the problem. We ask you to do this for two main reasons:

- 1. The language advances and the functionality might well be included in core or UDF code by now

- 2. The changes in language syntax mean that it is likely that code from more than a couple of years ago may well not run under the current release interpreter without significant modification.

Thanks for your cooperation.
