Autohotkey Keywait for either of 2 keys to be released
By Mia Morrison •
In Autohotkey, I know you can use "KeyWait" to wait for a key to be pressed or released, but what can I do if I want to be able to wait for either of two keys to be released?
I found this on the web, but it is when you want to wait for either of two keys to be pressed
LButton & XButton1::
Keywait, r
Keywait, LAlt
SendInput {ShiftDown}
SendInput {v Down}
SendInput {v Up}
SendInput {Shift Up}
Input, UserInput,v,{LButton}{XButton1}
;v is if you want input to be visible
if ErrorLevel=EndKey:LButton
{ theFunctionIrunAlltheTime() Return
}
else if ErrorLevel=EndKey:XButton1
{ theFunctionIrunAlltheTime() Return
}No matter which of those Buttons is release I want to do the same, I think the example above works only with letters, not with Buttons, but the important thing here is that by the time the script is run, LButton n XButton1 are already pressed and I want in the middle of the subroutine to detect when any of them is released, any idea please??? thanks adavanced.

Try also this:
~LButton & XButton1::
SetTimer detect_key_released, 50
; do sth
return detect_key_released:
If !GetKeyState("LButton", "P")
{ SetTimer detect_key_released, off MsgBox LButton released return
}
If !GetKeyState("XButton1", "P")
{ SetTimer detect_key_released, off MsgBox XButton1 released return
}
returnWhile GetKeyState("LButton") && GetKeyState("XButton1") Sleep 10
; msg to user assumes only one or the other was released...
MsgBox % (GetKeyState("LButton") ? "XButton1" : "LButton") " Released"
