How can I get two unique hotkeys out of the same keys, based on the order in which the keys are pressed?

The two hotkeys I want to create are:

Notice they both have the exact same keys, only their order is unique. Here is some of the code I tried to achieve this with:

#if GetKeyState("lshift", "p")
space & f::
tooltip, you presedd lshift & space & f
return

#if GetKeyState("space", "p")
LShift & f::
tooltip, you presedd space & lshift & f
return

I tried other variations with #InputLevel in between the hotkey labels but have not had any success at all.

I am out of ideas her and would love any help or pointers on how to get about achieving this. My goal is create two "modifier" layers:

Thank you

Solution

  • Blind mode

    Modifier keys are restored differently to allow a Send to turn off a hotkey's modifiers even if the user is still physically holding them down. ...

    Space & LShift::Space_LShift := true
Space & LShift Up::Space_LShift := false

LShift & Space::
    Send {Blind}{Shift Up}
    LShift_Space := true
return

LShift & Space Up::LShift_Space := false

#If LShift_Space 
    f:: Tooltip, you presedd LShift & Space & f
#If Space_LShift
    f:: Tooltip, you presedd Space & LShift & f
#If

; To avoid that the prefix key Space loses its native function, add:

Space::Send {Space}
