[AHK] Using Modifiers Shift and Control combined with number key --- not working

[Teel]

I apologize for the necro, but in case anyone comes across this looking for something similar...

In AHK, when you Send a key, you're in effect sending a {%key% Down} followed quickly by {%key% Up}. When broadcasting movement keys or modifiers, you need to break the key DOWN and the key UP into separate hotkeys to capture the duration. For OP's macro:

~LShift Down::
IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
{
ControlSend,, {LShift Down}, ahk_id %wowid2%
ControlSend,, {LShift Down}, ahk_id %wowid3%
ControlSend,, {LShift Down}, ahk_id %wowid4%
ControlSend,, {LShift Down}, ahk_id %wowid5%
Return
}

~LShift Up::
IfWinActive, World of Warcraft
{
ControlSend,, {LShift Up}, ahk_id %wowid2%
ControlSend,, {LShift Up}, ahk_id %wowid3%
ControlSend,, {LShift Up}, ahk_id %wowid4%
ControlSend,, {LShift Up}, ahk_id %wowid5%
Return
}


There are a couple things that could've gone wrong a ~+5 hotkey, but at a guess - if you were expecting Shift 5 to be broadcast you would've needed to send {Shift Down}5{Shift Up}
