FAQ

How do I temporarily disable SpaceKey?

Click the SpaceKey tray icon in the taskbar to toggle between paused/running states.

How do I avoid conflicts in games?

WARNING

SpaceKey is built on AutoHotkey, and many games detect AHK processes as cheat software. Pausing may not be enough.

It is recommended to exit SpaceKey before launching the game. Right-click the tray icon and select Exit. Restart it after the game.

If the issue is just key conflicts rather than anti-cheat detection, you can pause via the tray icon.

How do I check the currently active configuration?

Check the src/temp/key.ahk file — it dynamically generates the final #Include file.

How do I customize key mappings?

Create a .ahk file in the custom/ directory with the same path and filename as the one in base/. See Custom.

Do I need to install AutoHotkey?

No. SpaceKey is installed via Scoop and includes everything needed to run.

Which Windows versions are supported?

Based on AutoHotkey v2, it supports Windows 10 and above.

Can I still type spaces with the Space key?

Yes. Pressing Space alone (without combining other keys) still outputs a space. For consecutive spaces, pause SpaceKey first.
