Autohotkey simulate scroll lock being pushed twice
Basically I am trying to write a script that will simulate holding down control and pushing scroll lock twice. I just can't seem to get it right.
Tried
Send, {Ctrl Down}{ScrollLock}
Send, {ScrollLock}{Ctrl Up}
return
And
Send, {Ctrl Down}{ScrollLock}{ScrollLock}{Ctrl Up}
return
But neither trigger the desired response.
Solution 1:
Wild guess: maybe the application requires a delay between the presses. Try adding Sleep 1000
(1 second, if it works you can try shortening the delay) between the two Send
commands.
Second wild guess: are you trying to get a KVM to react? If so, Autohotkey won't help directly, because it simulates keyboard events at the OS level, not the keyboard level. (I've seen KVMs that require two Scroll Lock presses with a little delay, but they don't need Ctrl, they react on the LED changes rather than the key presses).
