| I created a set of 27 folders, named from 'A' to 'Z' plus an extra folder named '0-9', to be used as placemark folders in my software catalog directory in Windows Explorer. I wanted them all to have the same icon (not the default Windows folder icon). They are all within an enclosing folder. E.g., t... |

| Hi. I just stumbled across your post, having a very similar problem. I wrote an AHK script which creates a new hotkey for Direct Folders (DF), a folder launcher which normally acts on Windows Explorer, but will also open Directory Opus if it is acting as an Explorer replacement. When using DF to ope... |

| Sorry about that, Gast, it was late and I was in a hurry. Have edited post and title, hope that's more meaningful. (Added) If you try using Direct Folders to launch a folder in Directory Opus you may find that each time it opens a new instance (new Lister) of Directory Opus, which can be annoying. T... |

| This is not a request for help but a tip for how to create an extra mouse hotkey when one has only a 3-button mouse, cannot use the middle button and does not want to change the basic behavior of the L or R mouse buttons. Also it is a tip about how to interface file managers such as Windows Explorer... |

| @engunneer, thanks for your suggestion of checking the key history - didn't occur to me. And thanks to Leef_me for your excellent KeyHistory script. Yes, the external numpad does have a Num Lock key, also a LED which lights up when Num Lock is ON. With it OFF, I ran Leef_me's script, then pressed 4 ... |

| Hi all. I've connected a Belkin external USB number pad to my laptop, which has a number pad built into its keyboard and, like a conventional keyboard, the built-in number pad is separate from the main keyboard (i.e., I don't have to use the Function key to enable it). Being right-handed, I wish to ... |

@sumon: I can't see what your problem is. Input means AHK looks at whatever you type in. If you use the V parameter, then whatever window happens to be on top gets the keystrokes. If you want to narrow this down, then use #IfWinActive, or else WinActivate.
Does that help you? |

| The macro opens an application's dialog box where text can be entered. Pressing Esc cancels and closes the dialog box; pressing Enter closes the dialog box, accepting the text. The macro goes on to do something else after the box is closed, but only IF the user closed it by pressing ENTER. F1:: ... |

| Well, I finally got to the bottom of it. The real problem had nothing to do with anything discussed here previously. It turned out that my (fairly long) script had two Win+F2 hotkeys in it, suitably isolated, or so I thought, by appropriate #IfWinActive directives. Here's the problem reduced to a nu... |

| Thanks again None! SendInput %Clipboard% ought to work, but still doesn't. Dunno what is wrong. I'll try stripping everything away one by one from the larger script till I figger out where the problem lies. Gotta be something simple. Good to see that $#F2:: does work when this block stands alone. |

| OK, thx for replying so quickly. You are right, that script on its own works! Thanks a lot. I'm still puzzled by why mine doesn't - maybe I need to insert a GroupAdd statement. Will try that now.

Hi None,
I thought of that just after I posted and tried it while you were answering - still hangs. Does it work for you? |
