both hotkey and function use mouse button, not working

[wangsitan]

These works fine:

a::MouseClick, RIGHT

MButton::Send, xxx

But this doesn't work for me:

MButton::MouseClick, RIGHT

When I load this script, clicking mouse middle button did nothing (no middle button function, nor right button function).

I didn't define the hotkey MButton twice at the same time. Only one ahk script is loaded at one time.

• env: manjaro-22.1.3-x86_64, KDE, X11
• mouse: SANWA wired USB mouse

it looks like you are right. However, this seems to be a limitation of X11, perhaps of Linux in general. I had actually faced this too several years ago, at that time with xbindkeys+xte (same with xdotool): https://askubuntu.com/questions/585571/xte-mousedown-up-via-xbindkeys-not-working

The only solution in your case is to replace MButton:: with MButton up::. Hope that's still satisfying to you. I will also put this in the Readme.

thanks for the report!
