The AutoHotkey command OutputDebug is described here: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/OutputDebug.htm. You can use DebugView from Microsoft (linked at that page) to see the debug output. Alternatively you can use some other of the described debugging tools also linked there. Personally, I normally edit and debug with Visual Studio Code from Microsoft.

To access settings you have to simulate mouseclicks in the right places. The functions in zwift-hotkeys you are looking for are ZwiftClick / ZwiftClickCenter / ZwiftClickRight / ZwiftClickLeft. The different functions are there because there are differences in how screen elements move and scale (or not) when the Zwift window scales. ZwiftClickCenter are for elements which stay anchored to the center of the screen and only scale up to a certain point; *Right and *Left do similarly. It is easy to see which function is the right one to use if you put Zwift in window mode and resize the window so its is ultrawide (e.g. full screen width but only a quarter screen height).

There is already a click triggered by Backspace which will take you to the paused/menu screen so what you have to figure out is how to click in the spot which will open the Settings screen.

I tried enabling debugging, but where does the debug info show?

If I understand the matter to some extent, I have to be able to identify the hotkey for it. In my case this is an Elgato Stream Deck and I have no idea whether or how it can be addressed. (AutoHotStreamDeck could be a solution, but I’ll have to study computer science first.)

With a KeyDelayFactor between 20 and 30, the camera can be controlled to some extent even without a “return channel” by pressing several times.

So the camera is panned exactly for the predefined time, in this case 4 seconds and I get dizzy 🙂

It would be nice if Autohotkey recognizes how long the key is pressed in order to pan the camera for exactly that long.

It should be possible with something like this:

ZwiftSendKey(“0”) ; activate drone view
ZwiftSendKey(“{Left down}”) ; to press (and hold) the Left key
Sleep, 4000 ; sleep for 4 seconds
ZwiftSendKey(“{Left up}”) ; release the Left key

One question: This script works well and reliably for pressing a key once. Can it also be adapted so that you can use it to control the camera in the drone view? The decisive factor here is how long the key is held down. Unfortunately, I failed terribly trying to use the endless possibilities of AutoHotkey. Thanks in advance!

Great, thanks very much for the help Jesper!

Use ZwiftSendKey(“{Down}”).
