I dont know if its possible. So Basically im trying to find a way.

I only find a way by doing 2 button.

Do you mean without releasing CTRL? If so, I don't think its going to be possible.
The repeat action in simulated keystrokes repeats the whole simulated keystrokes so it will release CTRL and press it again.

PS. This is not button chording - button chording is when you hold one mouse button, it changes the behavior of other button clicks.

hmm i see maybe there a way to add a {REPEAT} function tag

so let say {CTRL} {REPEAT:Delay RMB}

so anything inside the {REPEAT} would work without affected the previous tag {CTRL}

You didn't answer my first question - was I correct in my assumption of what you meant?

Adding such a repeat tag certainly wont be easy so I make no promises, but I will add it to the to investigate list.

Thanks,

That's an interesting one
Here is what I've found out:
In Layer1 - I set MB5 to '(sticky hold)[{CTRL}{layer:2}]'
In Layer2 - I set MB5 to repeat 'V' every second
So when I click MB5 it holds down Ctrl and switches to Layer2, then I click MB5 again and it starts pasting every second which means the Ctrl is effectively held down. When I click MB5 again it stops pasting but the Ctrl remains pressed down and you are stuck in Layer2 since the layer hotkeys aren't working, so you can only switch the layer from the context menu of the tray icon. Or you can use the 'Revert layer' option to switch back to Layer1 and then click MB5 again to release the Ctrl key. So in general, you achieve the desired effect in two clicks of the same button but stopping it is a bit complicated . Anyway I hope it helps you

NOTE: To do the above you have to disable the 'Reset sticky buttons when the layer changes' option in Settings>Advanced.

I also tried another workaround which could be appropriate if you want a limited number of repeats:

Code: Select all

{PRESS}{CTRL}V{wait1}V{wait1}V{wait1}V{wait1}V{wait1}V{RELEASE}{CTRL}

but it doesn't work . It only pastes once and after that it repeats only 'V'
