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}

 

AutoHotKey EXPERT needed for simple Task View script

I'm sharing this trial and error for someone who reads this thread and wishes to duplicate your suggestion. The end of the story is that this worked beautifully. Getting there involved some know-how.

1. Download/install AutoHotKey (AHK)
2. Push 'create a script' even if you're clueless like me.
3. It dumps a blank script on desktop. Name it 'Task View' (or whatever) and open it.
4. It's not blank. It's full of intimidating 'stuff' to the non-coder. Ignore and exactly type in FrillyBit's code. SAVE.
5. Test script without a reboot. Just try it. If it works --
6. -- put that script in a folder somewhere that will be left alone. I put it in Documents. It's name "AutoHotKey scripts (KEEP!)" Keep keeps my feeble mind from forgetting what it is and trashing it a year from now.
7. Create a shortcut of said script. Not the folder, the Task View script itself.
8. Put it in startup folder. (Google how to put items in startup folder with 'HowToGeek' if confused.)
9. Reboot. Test script.

Again -- it worked like a charm for me. BIG THANKS.

Be seeing you --

 

Script to add Regkey Exception to Windows Defender

If I want some kind of script to add an exclusion to Windows file defender, I can do something along these lines by saving the following text as a .bat file and running it:

But what if I want to add, specifically, a registry entry exception to Windows defender in a similar manner, how would I acheive that? Is it even possible to add a registry entry as an exception to Windows defender?
