        PressMouseButton(1)                    --{B} Press LButton (down state)

        ReleaseMouseButton(1)                  --{D} Release the LButton (up state)

-- /// Now that you have the basics, let's try something a little more advanced. We'll use a button that is out of the way.

        Sleep(40)                      --{B} Press the left alt key, take a rest, press
        PressMouseButton(3)                    --{-} middle mouse button ----------------------
    elseif event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_RELEASED" and arg == 11 then --{C} ELSEIF.. target button is released.. THEN!

        ReleaseMouseButton(3)                  --{D} Release left alt & middle mouse button (3)

                                       --NOTE: I was explicit with my use of LEFT ALT,
                                                                   --however, it can be just any ALT with: ("alt")

                 --{ ___________________________________________}--
                 --{ to perform a sequence of keystrokes without}--
                 --{ up/down control, you can use a macro ______}--


--{ Step 1: Record your macro in LGS using the mutli key function.
--{ Step 2: Name your macro!
--{ Note: At this point you could just assign it to the recorded key. Done, however, those who want to learn can read on.

    if event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 11 then       --{A} If our targed mouse button is pressed..
        PlayMacro("MyExampleMacro")             --{B} Plays MyExampleMacro which you recorded earlier
    elseif event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_RELEASED" and arg == 11 then  --{C} If it's a non-repeating macro you can replace this with END
        AbortMacro()                        --{D} If your macro repeats you need to abort it upon release
    end                             --NOTE: It should follow it's repeat / toggle per the recording
