Im so confused I just want that while I have a window opened, while Left Alt is being pressed (without any other key pressed at same time), it behaves like I'm being pressing A for example.

I used the following script to autorepeat the 1 button, but if I press it a few times it randomly breaks by continuously looping forever as if I never let go of 1, until I press again. Any idea?

Great tutorial... Is it possible to use L button with Mbutton of the mouse together? Like if Lbutton is pressed down and the Mbutton is also pressed down and then lifted then it goes back but not using any F1 button, just with simple Lbutton pressed . I’m really new to this, but if possible can you please help me with the exact script on how it can achieved? Thanks 😄

I used the following script to autorepeat the 1 button, but if I press it a few times it randomly breaks by continuously looping forever as if I never let go of 1, until I press again. I tried playing with Sleep time, toggling sendmode, but without sendmode input, repeat is too slow. Please help.

SendMode Input
#InstallKeybdHook
$1::
While (GetKeyState("1", "P")) {
Send 1
Sleep 1
}
Return
