AutoHotkey Community

I've got the ` key bound to control my pet in World of Warcraft, and I'm using AHK to 2box, but AHK doesn't seem to recognize this keystroke properly. Here is the snippet of script I have for its use.



The help pages I've seen for special characters and the like make no mention of the grave key. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

`` results in an invalid hotkey error.

R u sure u mean "`" and not "´"?!
Cause if u mean "`" u'll have to press Shift aswell...

This works for me (German keybord so I need to press Shift as well):

Are you sure it's not just this part that's not working?
ControlSend,, {`}, ahk_id %wowid2%

I see no mention of "{`}" on the Send page .. maybe you should try
ControlSend,, ``, ahk_id %wowid2%

Okay, after playing around for a bit, the `` in the send is working.

However, when I try to do it with the Shift or Control modifiers it's not working either way. If it's not one thing, it's another, right?

So this doesn't work?
(I put the Returns where they should be)


Let me clarify this: You want to only act on these keypresses upon their release?
And: alt-shift-` --> send shift-`
. . . . alt-ctrl-` . --> send ctrl-`
. . . . alt-` . . . . --> send `
. . . .` . . . . . . . --> send ` (ie acts as normal)
Is this coorect?

In Autohotkey it's known as the "accent" key


Yep, that's programming .. things have to be 100% EXACTLY CORECT
Even in the smallest/simplest of scripts, there's a surprising amount that can go wrong!

Okay, I figured out that to get the CTRL and Shift keys to send properly to work with World of Warcraft, I apparently need to do the Down and Up states on either side. I'm also forcing the left version just simplicity since that's what I normally press when I'm binding, just to prevent future issues. Now I can go on to levelling or playing two characters of differing classes at once and using my pets for extra damage (I bound pets to ` for easy access).

Thanks for the help to all who offered suggestions and support.[/code]
