Send a Key When A Game Starts and Ends

[angryherbalist]

I use an app that is enabled or disabled by hitting the CAPSLOCK button.

When I launch a certain game, I want to send CAPSLOCK.  When we exit that game, I want it to resend CAPSLOCK.

How do i get that done on a per-game basis?

Okay I have no clue what you would have to do to do this syntax wise but you would probably use an Additional app with a bat file to send the keypress start the game and send the closing keypress when exiting then you would replace the ROM or whatever file you are launching with the bat file in LB

i think with autohotkey i can "send" a keystroke, so is there a way to AHK on start and on close?

Yes as and additional app. Write the two scripts you need,  then compile both AHK .exe for the commands. Set both up in the additional apps field of the game. Choose the option to run one before and one after the game.
