Carl,

Yes, sorry, I meant AutoHotkey.

And many thanks for that routine, it works exactly as hoped.

John,

I assume that you mean AutoHotkey, since Autokey is a Linux thing. Ignore thIs reply if I'm wrong. Otherwise, try this:

SendInput {x}
Loop
{
Sleep, 100
GetKeyState, state, Up, P
If state = U
Break
SendInput {Up}
}
Return

Adjust the Sleep value up or down to make the repeat rate slower or faster.

I'm looking for a way to create a hotkey in Autokey which performs a unique action the first time it's struck, but reverts to it's original function until it's released. Example: holding down the "up" arrow key sends "z" + "up" to the host program. but the 2nd and all subsequent repetitions are "up" (alone), until the key released.

Seems a stretch, but possible? Many thanks from this Autokey tyro.
