How to passthrough key but only down and then up after a certain time

~2:: Send {2 down} Sleep, 1000 Send {2 up} return

This does not do what I need it to. I could get around this by changing this to

2:: Send {3 down} Sleep, 1000 Send {3 up} return

but I want to use the passthrough functionality. Is there any way to accomplish my goal similarly to the first example?

As for your first bit of code, since you're typing 2 and your hotkey is sending 2, you'll need to put a $ in front of your hotkey so it doesn't fire itself.

$2::
Send , {2 down}
Sleep , 1000
Send , {2 up}
Return

The ~ is used if you don't want to block the native function of the key, which doesn't apply in this case because you're sending it in your hotkey.

Guess the Syntax used here has a Problem and mentioning all the Actions in a Single line wouldn't work out well.

I've Worked and Tried modifying the Code and Works for me well.

2::
{
    Send {DOWN 2}
    Sleep, 1000
    Send {UP 3}
    Return
}

Let me know if you have any query in this regards.
