How to use Hold M glitch at steam?

[Neocronic]

In mobile when you press and hold M and then swipe right or left you can infinitely hold M button and just idle. But how it works in steam? So we should sit and tap million times M button?

[Chad]

The M key will buy all as long as it is held down. You can put something heavy on the M key to hold it down, or if you have a mechanical keyboard you can press the M key down and wedge something between the keys so it can't return up again.

Можешь поставить с помощью программ макросы меняющие м на пробел, после чего ставишь кружку на пробел

[Stellar Remnant]

Or you can get AutoHotKey and make a script to hold a key down when you press something.

How do you access the keyboard on mobile? On my Android phone the keyboard is not accessible; the game takes up the entire screen.

[Nyu]

hold M
press H
release M
close H window

if gamewindow loses focus you have to redo this

there is an option to put buttons on the screen, like bottom.
there is M D G from what i remember few years ago
i think the option is named "bottem buttons" which you have to enable

Alternatively to the above, you can hold down M and then press ALT+Tab to cycle to a new window (you'll need something else open for this - like Steam or a web browser) with the key still held.

Then you can switch back to the window and as long as you don't hit the M key again it will stay perpetually held.

That works for R but it doesn't work for anything else, or at least it hasn't worked for me. Nyu's method does work.

You're right. How odd. My mistake I guess.

R is the most usefull imo. so i get why you thought it will work with the others the same.

but all other shortcuts stop working if the gamewindow looses focus

Just to toss another option out there: If your keyboard has macro keys, you can create a macro of pressing M, then remove the part of it that releases M. I use this to simulate holding down a certain key in all sorts of games. Just make sure you make a second macro that's just the releasing part so you can turn it off.

I'd highly suggest learning AHK though. It's an insanely useful tool for all sorts of stuff, ranging from remapping keyboard keys, to automating stuff, to creating autoclickers. And it's coding language is basically a mix between the most basic of lua and generic text "code" as used by stuff like emojis. And you can find presets for most stuff online anyway.

imo autohotkey is cheating, its a singleplayer game so whatever you want.
and just abusing bugs and glitches is not cheating.
but its a singleplayer game so whatever you enjoy the most.

autohotkey users are sketchy.
maybe its my personal experience seeing them litterally cheat in pvp and pve coop games.
so i dont see any value promoting an external programm to a thread that asks for gamemechanics.

In this post you say multiple times that AHK is bad and people shouldn't use it in this game, and that it's a single player game so do whatever you want. These two statements are contradictory. "Do whatever you want except this!"

It's a single player game. The only person you're competing against is yourself. Do whatever makes it the most enjoyable for you.

Direct example: there was a point where AdVenture Capitalist was so poorly balanced that it would literally take thousands of years to finish. Partly out of spite and partly because I'm a completionist, I spent an entire weekend manipulating my system clock in order to trick the game into thinking it had been running for a hundred years at a time every minute or so in order to simulate hundreds of thousands of years of gameplay so I could reach the end, beating not only the game but the creator. It is blatantly cheating, but that is how I made the game fun for myself. It was my personal choice to cheat in that way, and it hurt nobody.

It's a single player game. Do what you want.

he generalizing it.
plus it was random mentioned.

in THIS game sure whatever. if you need a script to hold M, which works the same as the gamemechanic that doesnt need a script to hold M. make a script lul

but this random mentioning is sketchy and i just talked about what my experience with people who jump randomly to AHK
i see them in helldivers a pve coop game. i see them in fighting games.
i see them in coop games for like perfect reloads (a game with a fastreload which always is on specific timing after manuall reload for example)

i would get the suggestion to use autohotkey for annoying challenges that are alot of manual input. but without context mentioning it and talking so high about what else is possible cause of the topic "holding M constantly" is suspicious.

maybe i am tainted fram all the luck in pvp and coop games encountering these people.

and yes singleplayer games = do what makes games most enjoyable for yourself.


tl;dr: you are a liar. i never said they shouldnt use anything. i didnt call it bad.
just offtopic sketchy and useless addition to something that is faster solved with 2 button presses, but its a singleplayergame so whatever.

Cheating is to "act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, especially in a game or examination."
We could discuss at length whether or not progressing faster in an idle/incremental solo game is or isn't cheating. But if autohotkey is, then abusing bugs and glitches is too.

As for AutoHotkey there's a ControlSend command that can send keystrokes to a specific window instead of the active one. Can't say if it works with Antimatter Dimensions but if keeping 'm' pressed is an issue for you, it's worth investigating.

Its not cheating if you look at phone version. Game here have glitch with M being hold forever if you hold with finger and then swap to left or right with it. Its not fixed since game release and as i heard in discord dev even make it like feature. So every long run strategy starts from using this glitch. Without it you like lose ability to idling at all. And after you reach higher stage Hold M glitch will be mandatory to progress further or you will be in pain cage for weeks.
