I am using the key "k" with other keys to trigger a hotkey, the problem is that then I can't type a "K".

Here's a sample of that code:

Code:
k::Send {k} ; right now I can't type K

k & u::Send {Blind}{Up}
k & h::Send {Blind}{Left}
k & n::Send {Blind}{Down}
k & j::Send {Blind}{Right}

k & e::Send {PgUp}
k & c::Send {PgDn}

k & a::Send {Home}
k & l::Send {End}


I use Blind on some hotkeys so I can use shift+k+h to select text.

anyway, I have tried with * and ~ as explained here and I can't figure out how to use the script and still type a capital k.

Perhaps you send down the shift-key anywhere in your script und dont release it again...

please try

Code:
~k & u::Send {Blind}{Up}
~k & h::Send {Blind}{Left}
~k & n::Send {Blind}{Down}
~k & j::Send {Blind}{Right}

~k & e::Send {PgUp}
~k & c::Send {PgDn}

~k & a::Send {Home}
~k & l::Send {End}

aaffe, sorry, I didn't understand you.


engunneer, your suggestion works, but now I have another problem: with this new script when I press 'k' and then 'u' to move the cursor, a 'k' gets typed and then it moves the cursor.


I'll be checking this topic in case anyone has another solution :)

I think you will have to explicitly list every modifier you wish to use with k.
Code:
 k::Send k
+k::Send K

k & u::Send {Blind}{Up}
k & h::Send {Blind}{Left}
k & n::Send {Blind}{Down}
k & j::Send {Blind}{Right}

k & e::Send {PgUp}
k & c::Send {PgDn}

k & a::Send {Home}
k & l::Send {End}

or easier:
Code:
*k Up::Send {k} ; right now I can't type K

k & u::Send {Blind}{Up}
k & h::Send {Blind}{Left}
k & n::Send {Blind}{Down}
k & j::Send {Blind}{Right}

k & e::Send {PgUp}
k & c::Send {PgDn}

k & a::Send {Home}
k & l::Send {End}

@engunneer
Are you testing these examples before you post them? Neither of your last two work for me on XP.

Unless noted, all code is UNTESTED.


Since they didn't show the variations of the ~ and * modifiers they tried, I suggested the ~ on each, and it seemed to be closer to their goal.

jaco0646, I think engunneer's first example (k Up::Send {k}" was just to explain what aaffe suggested. But his second suggestion didn't work in my winxp neither.

anyway, somehow I did test this suggestion and It didn't work, but now it does. Great :)

+k::Send K


Thanks you both :mrgreen:

not tested, but you could probably use *k in place of k, +k, !k, etc.

@mai9
I apologize that you keep getting abused with untested code. I think everyone here has AHK installed and should easily be able to discover whether their ideas work or not.

Gui, 97:+Toolwindow
Gui, 97:Show, x-1 y-1 w1 h1 +NoActivate, Remaps when K is down
keywait, k

If A_ThisHotkey = *k
   Send, {Blind}k
return

#IfWinExist, Remaps when K is down
u::Up
h::Left
n::Down
j::Right
e::PgUp
c::PgDn

Yes, most of us do. Unfortunately due to time constraints, at least I am not able to always get to my windows machine, write the code, test it (perhaps extensively, depends on the code) and then report back. I'm, perhaps, more on my linux dev box and I do have kids. I think it's better to give pointers in the form of untested code than to keep quiet and not post anything until it is tested.

Just my 0.02€.

I strongly disagree with this, and I may post a full-blown rant soon; :P but I’ll start a new topic, so as not to hijack this one even more.
