AutoHotkey Community

Hi,

I'm using a function such as:



To paste a command when I press a hotkey.

Suppose the command was "\( \)".

Sometimes it works, but other times "\( ahk_id 0x932 \)" is pasted instead of "\( \)".

Let me know if you have a solution.

Thanks,

Joon

AHK sends ^v just fine, but it can't control how long it takes the receiving program to process that request. Sounds to me like you're getting to the "Clipboard := Clipboard_temp" portion if your code before the receiving program has finished processing the request to receive the clipboard, so the clipboard's contents change first then they're pasted.

Thanks for the reply.

Actually, I just found out that Send, {left %cursor_move_left%} part was the problem. After take that part out, no single incidence.

Now I have to figure out how to do the cursor thing without the problem.

Change the order of the commands:

I used sendplay instead of send, and it is much better. Now it is mostly reliable.

Mostly reliable should be a last resort.

Were you specifying SendMode Input or SendMode Play in your script before? I still think tweaking the sequencing in the script will ultimately be helpful in optimizing the function.

Thanks. At least AhK_whatever message has never showed up since I started using sendplay.

I will try other stuff to optimize the function later. (stuch at an assignment at the moment)

Wow. I just installed the new version of AutoHotKey and the problem went away. It is much more reliable even without sleep commands.
