Send Keys with a delay

[Shytoos]

Greetings,


I'm trying to figure out how to add a delay between each key pressure with lmc_send_keys() function.
There was apparently such a function on HIDMacros: HIDMacros.SendKeysSlow

I tried googling that but couldn't find anything so according to this file (https://github.com/me2d13/luamacros/blo ... ndKeys.pas) I tried to work around line 203

Code: Select all

//Function SendKeys(SendKeysString : PChar; Wait : Boolean; ToWindow : string = ''; Delayms: Integer = 0) : Boolean;

So I tried:

lmc_send_keys('^+{F1}', _, _, 500)
lmc_send_keys('^+{F1}', false, '', 500)
lmc_send_keys('^+{F1}', true, '', 500)

None of those lines worked and they all instantly press the three keys.

Is there an existing solution for this problem ? I actually want:

Ctrl DWN -> Wait 50ms -> Shift DWN -> Wait 50ms -> F1 DWN -> Wait 50 ms -> Ctrl, Shift, F1 UP

Thanks !

I ended up using HidMacros which actually works!

EDIT:

Still not good, now my custom keys from HidMacros work, but it breaks my main keyboard ^ key.
When I press it, it instantly outputs ^^, so I can't make ê, â, û, ô, etc.. It only occurs when the software is running, and nothing is set on this keyboard.

It's also the case with ¨¨, is there a way to fix that ? I would rather like this to get fixed, or a way to use SendKeysSlow with LuaMacros.

Thanks!

There's no delay feature in lmc_send_keys.

But see this howto and try (haven't tested myself)

Code: Select all

lmc_send_input(17, 0, 0) -- press ctrl
lmc_sleep(50)
lmc_send_input(16, 0, 0) -- press shift
lmc_sleep(50)
lmc_send_input(112, 0, 0) -- press F1
lmc_sleep(50)
lmc_send_input(112, 0, 2) -- release F1
lmc_send_input(16, 0, 2) -- release shift
lmc_send_input(17, 0, 2) -- release ctrl
