Hi,

some poeples have problems with the following script:


They use AHK 1.0.40.0 under WinXP SP2. It seems they have a english version of WinXP set to german local settings. Also someone with a english keyboard reported this problem.

I think this is explained by the fact that when a script launches, it starts off with the system's default language. Therefore, a script launched under English layout will not be able to create hotkeys for keys that exist only in the German layout.

To work around this, try switching the script to German layout before it executes the Hotkey command. You could even do this programmatically by trying shimanov's method: verify language support, load a keyboard layout, and change the input language for each process/thread.

Thanks Chris, the best solution for me is not to use the ü-Hotkey and let the user itself enter such hotkeys.
