  1. Have I accidentally placed some kind of script on my shift key


    Every time my shift key is pressed it types out this exact script; av backspace backspace MAV18afa/ enter AV18afa enter, this occurs no matter what, if I am in a game it will bring up the chat menu to type and it does the same in a search bar, note, and/ or folder.

    Both shift keys

    Hello.
    I have problem with Lenovo Idea Pad 100 laptop (OS: WIN10). After replacing HDD into SSD I faced a strange problem. Both Shifts of the keyboard doesn‘t work .
    I have tried to:
    • Check if sticky keys are off. They are off.
    • Connect external keyboard via USB port. Shift keys on external keyboard works good.
    • Check the keyboard on online tester which indicates pressed buttons. It can‘t indicate press of the shift
    • Change several different input languages. The problem is on all of them.
    • Reinstall keyboard driver
    • Check if connection is OK. It is OK.
    • Tried to run computer without screws (I have read in one forum that screws could touch the keyboard from the bottom and it wouldn‘t operate normal)
    I believe that keyboard is not damaged because connector damage could cause just exact part of keyboard failure, while it is impossible to do physical damage for both shifts. Any solutions?

    Have I accidentally placed some kind of script on my shift key

    Need Help With Simple AutoHotKey Script

    Hi all, I'm trying to make a "simple" script but having some problems. I say "simple" because I've never done this before, but it's probably simple for someone more familiar. Basically, I want to make it where when I hold the right mouse button down, instead of right clicking it continuously Shift+Right Clicks (This is for a game).

    I came up with this:

    RButton::Send +{Click, Right}

    Which basically does what I want only I can't hold down the mouse button to continuously repeat the script. I'm not looking for anything automated, and would like to have it only do this while I hold the mouse button down, and stop when I let go.

    A friend of mine came up with this for me, which is almost perfect but for some reason in the game it causes the character to stutter step in between casts of the spell (Path of Exile). The character will cast the spell, stutter step forward, then cast again. The normal behavior in the game of holding Shift and casting a spell will keep you in place and not moving, which is what I'm looking for. He came up with this:

    #IfWinActive Path of Exile
    RButton::
    loop
    {
    GetKeyState, RButtonState, RButton, P
    if (RButtonState = "U") {
    send +{RButton up}
    break
    } else {
    send +{RButton down}
    sleep, 10
    }
    }
    #IfWinActive

    Is anyone here familiar with creating scripts/macros that can possibly tweak this to make it behave like I'd like it to? He suggested removing the sleep line, which I tried and it didn't change the behavior.

    Edit: Issue resolved, the following worked great:

    #IfWinActive Path of Exile
    *rbutton::Send {shift Down}{rbutton down}
    *rbutton Up::Send {shift Up}{rbutton up}
