Rebind QTE keys

Description

The script completes both "hammer" and "press key(s)" QTEs by pushing or holding a key of your choice. Only for keyboard and mouse.
As far as I know merely four keys are used in QTEs (move left/right, "contextual action" and "partner action" keybinds).

Creating the script

Download and install AutoHotkey: https://autohotkey.com/download/
Create a new AHK script (right click on empty space in Windows > new > AutoHotkey script), you can name the file how you desire
Click on the file > edit script
Add the following code and save the file:
#IfWinActive, RESIDENT EVIL 5 key:: { send {key1 down}{key2 down}{key3 down}{key4 down} sleep 10 send {key1 up}{key2 up}{key3 up}{key4 up} } return

See key naming scheme for AutoHotkey here: https://autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm
Edit the script based on your keybinds for "partner action" (1), "contextual action" (2) and move left/right (key3/4). The line after "#IfWinActive" executes the script.

an example script

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases. #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors. SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory. #IfWinActive, RESIDENT EVIL 5 Space:: { send {q down}{f down}{a down}{d down} sleep 10 send {q up}{f up}{a up}{d up} } return

Notes

"sleep" command (wait, in milliseconds) between sending key "up" and "down" is required for the keypresses to be detected.
The script is only active when the RE5 window is in focus. You can move the script to the Windows' startup folder (C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) if you want it to be started automatically.
