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 } return While GetKeyState("LButton") && GetKeyState("XButton1") Sleep 10 ; msg to user assumes only one or the other was released... MsgBox % (GetKeyState("LButton") ? "XButton1" : "LButton") " Released"
