joytokey & autohotkey (toggle configs realtime)

Make a keyboard hotkey (spacebar, capslock, etc) that will switch between
multiple joytokey configs in (real-time).

so a 4 button joystick can now have 8 or 12
'virtual' buttons, just by holding down (spacebar or Lshift, etc)!

I posted the macro/script for this on www.autohotkey.com script forum.



Below is info on autohotkey.

http://www.autohotkey.com

This free hotkey/macro/scripting program (open-source) is truly excellent.

It can create hotkeys using --ANY-- keyboard, mouse or joystick
buttons (WinXP).

Hotkey examples:

spacebar + [a-z]
spacebar + joybutton [1-32]
spacebar + mousebutton [1-5]

capslock + [a-z]
capslock + joybutton [1-32]
capslock + mousebutton [1-5]

'a' + [b-z]
'a' + mousebutton [1-5]
'a' + joybutton [1-32]

Lshift + joybutton [1-32]
Lshift + mousebutton [1-5]
Lshift + [a-z]



Also, any -Single- key on the keyboard can be made a hotkey! No prefix key
or combination keys required.
So the letter 'k' or even a comma ',' could become hotkeys.



Macros can perform different commands when:

1. the hotkey is first pressed down
2. while the hotkey is held down (auto-repeat feature)
3. when the hotkey is released.

Excellent!


The macro/scripts that you assign to a hotkey are easy to script, and
powerful.

Examples:

-'Hold' down any key/button, using a toggle hotkey.

-Create many 'virtual' joystick/mouse buttons

-Move/click the mouse using hotkeys.

-Respond to pixel colors

-Create PopUp menus (toolbars)

-Control any program, while its in the background.

-Compile the script into an *.exe file.

-Auto Respond to popup windows.

Note: Game compatibility and hotkey combinations are currently limited under
win98.

;--------------- pressing 'w' will toggle the left mouse button drag mode
space & w::
GetKeyState, updown, Lbutton, L
if updown = d
mouseclick, left, , , , , u
if updown = u
mouseclick, left, , , , , d
return

;;--------------space + mouse button #5, sends whatsup (text)
