AutoHotkey Community

I'd like to use this code as a part of a script (with some extralines of code):


I would like to have Shift-down act as normal (so no replacement is done in code).
But if I do this assignment above it is not possible to use any shift-actions any more (like special characters or Uppercase letters)!

Is this normal handling or a bug?

Hi,

try $ instead of *

I'm not sure if $ will help, but I can say that this behavior is by design because it makes no sense to suppress the down-event of a hotkey (via absence of the tilde prefix) but not the corresponding up-event.

To work around it, try adding a new hotkey:
~*Shift::Return

If that doesn't help and you can't find a way to do it, perhaps you can describe your overall goal (cause and effect) in more detail.

That's the problem!
I do _not_ want to supress the down event! (So I do not use a 'normal' Shift-Hotkey in my program).
I only want to give an additional action to the Up-Event (adding $ didn't fix it).

My goal is to have a Option to select if user wants to deactivate Alt-Tab and Shift-Alt-Tab (because the game what it is for crashs often when leaving window and it uses the Alt and the Tab-Key for actions in game!).

The problem is I wrote a programm to remap all of it's keys to other keys (so also TAB and Alt) and I do not really now how to do this.

But why I did the entry?:
I already wrote a test-programm for deactivating and simulating Alt-Tab and Shift-Alt-Tab and it works! But I wasn't able to use the Shift-Key in any other way.
After adding the following it worked fine:
But is this implementation really correct? I would expect that the down-event is sent as normal as long as I do nothing elsewith it in ahk .

It was just a question if bug or not, I know a workaround and maybe I find also a solution for my other problem this evening (shouldn't be your problem )

It would be inconsistent for the down-event to be sent normally but the up-event not to be. Even if it weren't for that, I seem to remember that there were other reasons for doing it this way. It's definitely "by design" because I spent quite a few hours thinking about it at the time, and still have a lot of notes about it.

In any case, it's good that you found a way to get the behavior you need.

So:
Bugreport -closed-
