Basically I have an issue where the middle mouse button when clicked does multiple very fast middle mouses. For example, if I open a link in a new tab with middle mouse it will open about 10 of that tab. I have tried all of the conventional methods to fix it, ie. driver fixes etc. What I want to try now is a bit of mouse debouncing with AHK (Auto Hot Key) for windows.
Essentially what I am thinking is to do this:
while (forever)
if( capture the middle mouse)
sleep 500 ms
mouse click
end
end
Can anyone give some advice with this approach?
Alternatively i thought about making a middle mouse hotkey:
$MButton::
Loop
{
sleep 500
if not GetKeyState("MButton", "P")
break ; Break out of the loop.
}
send {MButton}
return
Can anyone see any problems with this?
You can have a much simpler solution without a delay.
This will ignore middle click if the last click was 50 ms ago.
#Persistent
global pressed_g := 0
global delay_g := 50 ; delay in miliseconds, increase this value if your multiple click take longer than delay_g time
return
MButton::
if( pressed_g = 0 )
{
Send, {MButton}
tooltip,sent
pressed_g := 1
}
SetTimer, Countdown , Off
SetTimer, Countdown , -%delay_g%
return
Countdown:
pressed_g := 0
return
Could it be that you are looking for this? You press the MButton and while you keep the MButton pressed, the script will continue to fire MButton.
#Persistent
MButton::
while GetKeyState("MButton", "P") ; While the Middle Mouse button key is being held down
{
Send, {MButton}
}
return

I've recently been using Gnome 41.5 and fell in love with the way the Activities menu works
So I am trying to use AHK to create a script that when I press the windows key it opens Task View - then if Task View is open and I start to type, (to search for an application) I want AHK to open the start menu so that I can utilize its search function
My rough outline for how I imagine it would work below - I've been trying to learn but got stuck here
Lwin::
Send, #{Tab}
if (""taskview is open"" + ""any char pressed"") {
Send, Rctrl + Esc
}
In the future I'd love to have the start button just appear on the Task View screen so that it's almost just like Gnome
i wanted to do the same thing and got this so far, i like how this works tbh, but you might wanna add RWin as well (i don't have it, so i didn't)
before task view appears the start menu flashes shortly, but the activation timing keeps shortcuts working without opening task view, so it's a good tradeoff imo.
;couldn't check these names bc the names are different based on system language
;double click on the script in the task tray and hit CTRL+K to figure out the correct name
taskView := "Task View" ;these 2 names are guesses
search := "Search"

I have a task on Unity 3d that if the player doesn't move for 5 seconds, a pop-up shows on the center of the screen and if the player moves, the pop-up disappears. How can I write the logic for this task please ?
Thanks
Here is code that will check the mouse position of the user and see if it has moved in the last 5 seconds. If it has not, then the popup window will show up. If it's hard to read here with the comments (I kind of think it is) copy and paste this code into Visual Studio so the colors will help distinguish code from comments.
[SerializeField] GameObject popupWindow = null;
float totTime;
float timeBeforePause = 5f;
Vector3 updatedMousePosition;
private void Update()
{
// Add the time delta between frames to the totTime var
totTime += Time.deltaTime;
// Check to see if the current mouse position input is equivalent to updateMousePosition from the previous update
// If they are equivalent, this means that the user hasn't moved the mouse
if (Input.mousePosition == updatedMousePosition)
{
// Since the user hasn't moved the mouse, check to see if the total Time is greater than the timeBeforePause
if (totTime >= timeBeforePause)
{
// Set the popup window to true in order to show the window (instantiate instead it if if doesn't exist already)
popupWindow.SetActive(true);
}
}
// If the user has moved the mouse, set the totTime back to 0 in order to restart the totTime tracking variable
else
{
totTime = 0;
}
// Check to see if the popup window is visible (active)
if (popupWindow.activeSelf == true)
{
// Check to see if the user has pressed the Esc button
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
{
// Hide the window
popupWindow.SetActive(false);
}
}
// Update the updatedMousePosition before the next frame/update loop executes
updatedMousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
}
If you want to track different user input (key presses) you can use a similar method. Also you will have to implement some sort of button on the popup window that will allow the user to exit out from the popup window once they return. Hope this helps!
I am currently learning Go and trying to make a game which allows players to press several buttons at the same time. Right now, my code works for a while, but sometimes when I randomly press, the GetKeyboardState() always records one or more keys as pressed. The weird key only can be released when I press the key again. Then everything goes correctly again.
For example, I randomly press Up, Down, Left, Right, and right shift bottom on the keyboard to control the character in the game. Suddenly, the character always tries to go right and if I press Up or Down arrow, the character will just go to the top right or the bottom right. Only if I press the right arrow button again, the character can stop go right.
I thought maybe the game goes too fast so I limit the fps under 90 but the situation still exists.
Also, I tried to print out the keyboard status and it always shows the weird bottom was pressed when the situation happened even if I did not touch my keyboard.
func GetInput(keyState []uint8, prevKeyState []uint8) []Input {
input := make([]Input, 0)
if keyState[sdl.SCANCODE_UP] != 0 {
input = append(input, Input{Up})
}
...
// Handle Down, Right, Left
if keyState[sdl.SCANCODE_RSHIFT] == 0 && prevKeyState[sdl.SCANCODE_RSHIFT] != 0 {
input = append(input, Input{RShift})
}
if keyState[sdl.SCANCODE_B] == 0 && prevKeyState[sdl.SCANCODE_B] != 0
{
input = append(input, Input{Debug})
}
// something like prevKeyState = keystate
return input
}
How I use it
keyState := sdl.GetKeyboardState()
prevKeyState := make([]uint8, len(keyState))
for {
...
input := ui.GetInput(keyState, prevKeyState)
HandleInput(input, board)
...
}
I want to simulate mouse movement, but not just one way. I need my mouse to go to the bottom left, then go to the bottom right, then finally go back to the bottom left again.
bottom left, 2 seconds
bottom right, 2 seconds
bottom left again, 2 seconds
But I can't make it work. What do I need to do? Is this possible?
If we can not do all three; we can do first 2. i.e. only bottom left 2 sec then bottom right 2 sec.
I have this in ahk but its only one way, always going to the left bottom. I need it in C++.

You should be using GetAsyncKeyState, not GetKeyState. GetKeyState returns the value captured when the last message was dispatched.
Also, check out SendInput on MSDN. mouse_event has long been deprecated.

I currently have an AHK script which switches the scrolling direction of my mouse.
WheelUp::
Send {WheelDown}
Return
WheelDown::
Send {WheelUp}
Return
My colleagues don't like this and use my computer sometimes.
How can I assign a shortkey to switch the scrolling direction?
What I want:
When I press win+z the scrolling direction is changed, when I pres win+z again, the scrolling direction is changed back.
So basically the scrolling direction can be changed when pressing win+z
Is that possible with AHK?
Yes you can modify your hotkeys to have more code.
You will have to use if statements and variables.
Example:
global direction := 1
^s:: ; ctrl + s will launch this code you can modify this to win + z
direction := Mod( direction + 1 , 2 ) ; alternates values of direction between 1 and 0
return
WheelUp::
if(direction)
Send {WheelDown}
else
Send {WheelUp}
Return
; and reverse for wheeldown
