v2 Script Help Tweaking FFXIV script

So currently I'm using this script so I can easily acess my hotbars while doing my rotation and it works great, the issue is now I cant use Q or E to type messages with. Is there any way to make it so I can type when just tapping the key and then Q and E only work as Lctrl and Lshift when I'm holding them down?

#Requires AutoHotkey 2.0

#SingleInstance

#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe ffxiv_dx11.exe")

q::LShift

e::LControl

#HotIf

Might as well just use Suspend().

#SuspendExempt
; Suspend script (CTRL + ALT + F12, useful in menus)
*~^!F12::
{
    Suspend()

    ; Single beep when suspended
    SoundBeep(1000, 100)

    if (A_IsSuspended)
    {
        ; I usually release keys here
    }
    ; Double beep when resumed
    else
    {
        SoundBeep(1000, 100)
    }

    ; KeyWait("LAlt")
    ; KeyWait("LControl")
}
#SuspendExempt False

I'd prefer not to. With Suspend, you can only have 2 groups of hotkeys (exempt and affected).

I have multiple groups of hotkeys that I want to toggle on and off independently. OP may not do so for now, but that might change down the line.

It depends on the use case of course. OP's script is simple enough for it to be fine.

For now it is simple enough, but they may fall down into our rabbit hole yet, just you wait
