Hold a key

[pizzadude223]

you know how this Send("+{UP 10000}") presses the up key 10,000 times. How would i substitue a key being held for a certain amount of time instead of a key being pressed 10,000 times. My computer lagges with the 10,000 presses but if I were t have it held I don't think it would.

According to the helpfile for Send():

Send("{a down}") ;Holds the A key down

Send("{a up}") ;Releases the A key

Only issue is that this doesn't seem to work for me anymore (probably since switching to win7), but maybe it works for you.

If l want script hold any key then for example l do

send("{a enter"}) ? "a" means hold?

Well I have xp so it might for me, but how would I put like a wait time inbetween the down and release?

You can either use sleep to wait, or a timer as well, or a loop or hotkey to wait for a key to be pressed to then stop the key being pressed down.

No, You do send("{a down"}).

To keep it pressed, put a sleep(x) between send("{a down"}) and send("{a up"})

Example

send("{a down"})

Sleep(2000)

send("{a up"})

Keeps a pressed for 2 seconds and exits.

Example

send("{a down"})

Sleep(2000)

send("{a up"})

Keeps a pressed for 2 seconds and exits.

That just presses it once because of the sleep function ending it.
