Combining mechanical gearshift and clutch on a single button on the keyboard

Foreword

In this guide, we will be using AutoHotkey. AutoHotkey is a scripting programming language designed for easy assignment and remapping of hotkeys, including mouse buttons and joysticks. Scripts are text files with the extension ".ahk". Using AutoHotkey scripts does not result in a ban (There will be no ban for this (will be) ). The script does not inject itself into the game.

Installing AutoHotkey

You can download it from the official website here [www.autohotkey.com]

Creating A New Script File

Go to "New Script," give a name to the new script, and click on "Create." This will create an empty script file. Alternatively, you can create a blank text file and change the file extension from .txt to .ahk.

Paste The Finished Script Into The File

Right-click on our new empty script file and select "Edit script."

Copy the following script code into our empty file and save it:

$q::

SendInput, {Shift Down}q

KeyWait, q

SendInput, {Shift Up}

Return

$e::

SendInput, {Shift Down}e

KeyWait, e

SendInput, {Shift Up}

Return

The keys "Q" and "E" are responsible for downshifting and shifting gears, respectively, while "Shift" is used for the clutch. If you have assigned another keys, replace them in the script code and save it. I have used the default values. Please Note that the script is case-sensitive!

Now, all that's left is to run the script file, which will appear in the system tray. A green icon indicates that the script is active. You can also pause it by pressing "Pause".

Now, when you press the "Q" and "E" keys in the game while selecting gear shifting with the clutch, the clutch will be pressed simultaneously with shifting gears up or down.

The End

Afterword

I used the AutoHotkey program specifically because Forza Horizon is not compatible with macros, especially programs that come with or install keyboard emulation drivers. The game doesn't respond well to these types of programs. There have been numerous cases where the game simply refuses to launch. That's why I chose AutoHotkey as an alternative solution.
