I have a very annoying, yet interesting problem:
I have two scripts: one, the main, with general commands to deal with Windows, launch programs and some macros, and other, the hotstrings-list script. I have many many hotstrings, something near 12000, added along the last three years. They both run at the same time.
Whenever I assign a context-sensitive hotkey in the main script, using Ctrl, such as:
Code:
#IfWinActive, ahk_class Notepad
^k::
send Hi everybody!
return
#IfWinActive
...it will mysteriously impact in the functionality of the second, particularly in a group of 9 hotstrings:
Code:
::a1::art. 1º
::a2::art. 2º
::a3::art. 3º
::a4::art. 4º
::a5::art. 5º
::a6::art. 6º
::a7::art. 7º
::a8::art. 8º
::a9::art. 9º
What happens is that, when I trigger one of the nine hotstrings above, they appear to press and keep pressed the CTRL key down (sending a "hidden" {ctrldown} command), and then wait for the letter assiged to the first hotkey, in the main script (Ctrl+K in case) to be pressed. So, when I type "a6" to have it expand to "art. 6º", the next time I press "K" it will send "Hi everybody!"
Example: if I type in the keyboard "a6 is meant for Ana
kin to read", the output will be "art. 6º is meant for Ana
Hi Everybody!in to read"
You can test, putting the two following pieces of code in separate .ahk files to see for yourself:
Code:
::a1::art. 1º
::a2::art. 2º
::a3::art. 3º
::a4::art. 4º
::a5::art. 5º
::a6::art. 6º
::a7::art. 7º
::a8::art. 8º
::a9::art. 9º
and
Code:
#IfWinActive, ahk_class Notepad
^k::
send Hi everybody!
return
#IfWinActive
...and please not that you don't even need to type the hotstrings (a7 to expand to art. 7º, for example, on the same window of the delimited context).
I'm suspicious about the º character, the degree mark.
Thanks in advance.
