Lua script loop keys press

Question

I have a logitech g102 mouse and i want to create a lua script which will press a different key every time i press the mouse button 4. Specifically i want each time i click the mouse button 4 to loop around 3 keyboard strokes (5,6,7). So if i click the first time my mouse button 4 it will press the number 3, the second time the number 4, third time number 5 and then repeat this as many times i press mouse button 4. I have already tried some code but didnt get anywhere. Can somebody help me?

local keys = {"h", "e", "l", "l", "o"}   -- cycle of keys
local idx
local tm = -math.huge

function OnEvent(event, arg)
   if event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4 then
      if GetRunningTime() - tm > 2000 then
         idx = 0
      end
      idx = idx % #keys + 1
      PressKey(keys[idx])
   elseif event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_RELEASED" and arg == 4 then
      ReleaseKey(keys[idx])
      tm = GetRunningTime()
   end
end
