Consider this simple script:

Code:

Menu, Tray, NoStandard
Menu, Tray, DeleteAll
Menu, Tray, Add, Show gui, GUISHOW
Menu, Tray, Add, Exit, EXIT
Gui, Add, Edit, R4 w200, Sample text

RControl::Gosub, GUISHOW

GUISHOW:
Gui, Show
Return

GuiClose:
GuiEscape:
Gui, Cancel
Return

EXIT:
ExitApp
Return

You have two options to launch GUISHOW:
1. Right clicking tray icon, then selecting the item "Show gui"
2. Pressing RControl, then selecting the item "Show gui"

Now press ESC to close. If you have chosen option no. 2, ESC has no effect.
Do you know why? :shock:

Additional info: once the RControl has been used, you can no longer escape the GUI shown from the menu too...
Mystery for me too, might be a bug, or a limitation.

Good trick, it works, but I am not sure why it works...
Oh, I see, the hotkey reacts on the down event and eats the up one, so the control key is stuck down (system doesn't see the up event). Is that so?
With given code, if I hit the left control after the GUI shows up, I can escape it, because I unstuck the key.
Tricky...
