Autoshift with autohotkey












0















I wanted to play with autoshift functionality. That is, if any of the alphanumeric keys is pressed longer than some timer, "shift" is automatically applied.



I would imagine that someone has already implemented this or very similar functionality on autohotkey. However, I am complete newbie with autohotkey and I am having troubles for finding relevant examples. Could someone point me to them or give me some tips about how to get started?

          ; create an array/object of the keys you want shift:
          Keys := ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0"]

          ; create a hotkey once for each key in this object, using a For-Loop:
          For each, key in Keys
          Hotkey, $%key%, Shift_Key ; the $ prefix forces the keyboard hook to be used
          return

          Shift_Key:
          ThisHotkey := StrReplace(A_ThisHotkey, "$") ; remove the $ prefix
          KeyWait, %ThisHotkey%, T0.3 ; wait max. 0.3 seconds for the key to be released
          If (ErrorLevel) ; if the command timed out (long press, the key is still pressed after 0.3 seconds)
          SendInput, +%ThisHotkey% ; "shift" it
          else
          SendInput, %ThisHotkey%
          KeyWait, %ThisHotkey% ; don't repeat the action before the key is released
          return
