Spamming Key with lua

I am trying to create a script that spams w when windows key is pressed, but it says Lua Error (5): invalid argument: modifier not specified, this is my script.. any help would be greatly appreciated

EnablePrimaryMouseButtonEvents(true)

function OnEvent(event, arg)
   if  IsModifierPressed ("appkey") then --windows key is appkey i am assuming
      repeat
         Sleep(100)
         PressKey("w")
         Sleep(100)
         ReleaseKey("w")
      until  not IsModifierPressed ("appkey")
   end
end

and also I am trying to make a quick switch script as well, if I press the right mouse button and left mouse button at the same time then it would automatically press the key q, but I get the error saying Syntax Error:Line:2

     EnablePrimaryMouseButtonEvents(true) 
        function OnEvent(event, arg)
     if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == "3","1" then
         repeat
         PressKey("q") 
        Sleep(2) 
        ReleaseKey("q") 
        end 
 end

-- if I press the right mouse button and left mouse button at the same time 
-- then it would automatically press the key q

function OnEvent(event, arg)
   if event == "PROFILE_ACTIVATED" then
      EnablePrimaryMouseButtonEvents(true) 
   elseif event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg < 3 then
      repeat
         Sleep(10)
         if IsMouseButtonPressed(1) and IsMouseButtonPressed(3) then 
            PressKey("q") 
            Sleep(10) 
            ReleaseKey("q") 
         else
            break 
         end 
      until nil
   end
end

According to the manual the modifier must be one of the following strings:

"lalt", "ralt", "alt", "lshift", "rshift", "shift", "lctrl", "rctrl", "ctrl"

"appkey" is not in that list. Hence you get an error. Please read manuals.

Windows key is "lgui" and "rgui" and it is just a key, not a modifier. Modifiers modify the meaning of a key, as the name indicates.
