let’s say I want to automate a key hold h for a specific duration, say 10 seconds.

my first thought was AutoHotKey, and I tried it.

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
*s::
{
    Send "{h down}" 
    Sleep 10000
    Send "{h up}" 
}

it works. but it taps the h, not holding it.
and I look at the AutoHotKey forum, no one has any idea how to make it automatic, the best solution is to hold down the trigger, which defeat the purpose.

the I went to PyAutoGUI, tried make a simple solution like

import pyautogui
import time


pyautogui.keyDown('h')
time.sleep(10)
pyautogui.keyUp('h')

somehow it only taps the h, not holding it down.

please help me.

I tried AutoHotKey and PyAutoGUI, and they only can tap the key, not holding it.
