language: Autohotkey on Win7

"Shift" plus "right mouse button" plus "mouse wheel up"

I want my hotkey to be holding those three keys simultaneously. I have tried the following without any success

+ & rbutton & wheelup:: 
send 6

+rbutton & wheelup::
send 6


shift & rbutton & wheelup::
send 6

I always get an error when I try to make this hotkey does anyone know how to do it?

I'm still a newbie but I'll try and help =].

It doesn't seem to work when you use a modifier key with two mouse buttons, so this is a way that kind of works:

+WheelUp::
KeyWait, RButton, D    ; Waits for RButton to be pressed down.
MsgBox, This works!
Return

The problem is it clicks (or releases) the right mouse button once the hotkey has run. If you instead put it like so:

+RButton::
KeyWait, WheelUp, D

There will be another problem in that it will work fine for the first use of the hotkey, it will from then on work with only Shift + Right Mouse Button, because it's already waited for WheelUp to be pressed down (or rather scrolled up).

I mucked around for a little bit with GetKeyState and the like but still being new I can't find a way around it xD. These may be sufficient for what you need for now, otherwise better to wait for someone more knowledgeable to post.

With the information from your comment (hold Shift+right and spam WheelUp) following solution works fine. Use Shift + WheelUp and check if the right mosue button is down.

+WheelUp::
    if (GetKeyState("RButton", "P"))
        send 6
    else
        send +{WheelUp}
return

You could remove the else part and add a ~ modifier, but then Shift + WheelUp will be catched and blocked by AHK even if you dont press the right mouse button.
