Didn't find out if it's a bug or by design:
It is not possible to catch any keys sent by "ControlSend" with the Input-Command. With "Send" it works as it should...

Code:

Gui, Add, Edit
Gui, Show
Input, Keys, L5 V,
msgbox %Keys%
reload
return

!.::
ControlSend, Edit1, 12345678, TestInput
;Send, 12345678
return

If it is not a bug:

help wrote:

I: Ignore input generated by AutoHotkey itself, such as the Send command.

Which other possibilities are ignored with this Option?

Bye,
Thalon

Since ControlSend operates by posting messages directly to the target control, there is no way for Input to catch it. I would update the documentation but I think this issue is a little too obscure to document.

Okay, I do already have a workaround for my problem, so it doesn't matter.

So it's not a bug it's a feature!
