super simple question (i'm a new user)

[jk_]

Hi there, I'd like to use Autoit for a simple thing:

When using Photoshop (and only on Photoshop, if that is able), whenever I press my left-control and the d at the same time, I would want that to be remapped to left-control and right-click.

I am sure this is easy, however I havent learned any knowledge in this field. Thank you if you would just show me how I can have it done.

check out the functions...

HotKeySet()

this function can intercept the pressing of LCTRL+d and run commands.

WinActive()

inside the hotkeyset use if statements to check if Photoshop window is active.

Send()

if Photoshop window is active, Send LCTRL and...

MouseClick()

 

the sending of LCTRL+ right mouse click may be a little tricky, i have to tested so im not sure if this is the best method.

You'll probably want to send a left control down command, click with the mouse, and send a left control up command... like this

; Hold the left control down
Send("{LCTRL down}")
; Click with the Mouse
MouseClick("right")
; Release the left control
Send("{LCTRL up}")

It'll be better if there is a particular control that you can send these commands to with ControlSend instead of Send as it's much more reliable.

Right click, left control, dyslexia at it again

;just an example may not be 100% accurate 
    Hotkeyset("{LCTRL}+d","remap")
    
    local $bool=false ;to toggle
    while 1
    Sleep(25)
    Wend
    
    func remap()
    
    if $bool=false then
    
    send("{LCTRLDOWN}")
    mouseclick("right")
    send("{LCTRLUP}")
    $bool=true
    return 
    
    elseif $bool=true then 
    $bool=false
    return 
    endif
    
    endfunc

Just to clarify you this sounds like youd need to use the hotkey function so that it triggers a different function to send the desired key press and click. 

;just an example may not be 100% accurate 
    Hotkeyset("{LCTRL}+d","remap")
    
    while 1
    Sleep(25)
    Wend
    
    func remap()
    send("{LCTRLDOWN}")
    mouseclick("right")
    send("{LCTRLUP}")
    endfunc

@markyrocks Why do you do that ?  Why do you provide code that is totally wrong ?  I don't get your eager to help, but posting code that is so badly written.

What is wrong with what I wrote?

The hotkey function requires another function to operate.... 

If theres no while loop the script will just immediately exit.  This is stuff complete noobs don't know....

Nearly there....You should also use Tidy  to make it more readable.  
This is a shorter cleaned up version of your code:

;just an example may not be 100% accurate
HotKeySet("{LCTRL}+d", "remap")
Global $bool = False   ;to toggle

While 1
    Sleep(25)
WEnd

Func remap()
    If $bool = False Then
        Send("{LCTRLDOWN}")
        MouseClick("right")
        Send("{LCTRLUP}")
    EndIf
    $bool = Not $bool
EndFunc   ;==>remap
