I use the below hotkey combinations regularly and they work for all my programs. Recently, I installed Microsoft Onenote 2007 but strangely the 'up' and 'down' hotkeys do not work within Onenote 2007. I was wondering if someone knows why and has a workaround solution. I'm using Windows XP SP2. Thanks in advance.

Capslock & i:: Send,{up}
Capslock & j:: Send,{left}
Capslock & k:: Send,{down}
Capslock & l:: Send,{right}

have you tried the different Send Modes

[Hotfoot]

Thanks. I didn't know about the different Send commands or modes. I found that 'SendPlay' worked for me.

No problem, glad to help.

wow, I have the exact same problem with onenote (and I use almost exactly the same shortcut keys for cursor control in all my programs). Great to see i'm not the only one. I will try sendplay. Thanks!

hi guys - question -- While sendplay works for me too, in terms of allowing cursor up/down via hotkeys, when I press the shift key along with the hot key, the text does not get highlighted right away. There is a 'one key press delay'. For example:

a) I'm using, for example: "lctrl & i::sendplay {blind}{up}"
b) using send instead of sendplay, this works for me everywhere except in onenote 2007. In onenote 2007 I have to use sendplay. However:
c) Suppose I have two lines of text. I place the cursor at the end of the text. I press and hold the shift key, and then press "lctrl and i". Normally this should highlight both lines because the shift key was pressed. However, it does not highlight both lines. On the first press of "lctrl & i", the cursor moves up, but the lines dont get any highlighting. On the SECOND PRESS of "lctrl and i" (with shift key still held down), THATS WHEN it starts highlighting the text. If I keep hitting "lctrl & i" it keeps highlighting the text as it moves upwards thru the text.

So my question is - why does not highlight the text on the very first hotkey press? Why does it only start highlighting AFTER the SECOND press? Isnt {blind} supposed to do it from the very first press? That IS how it works with "Send" and "SendInput", so why not with "SendPlay"?

Thanks!

got a workaround of sorts. In order for sendplay to recognize the shift key on the very first press, I had to do it the long way, like this:

I second that SendPlay as suggested doesn't work at least with OneNote 2007 SP1. Does anybody know how to work around this problem?

I have the same problem in OneNote 2010, but your workaround works great. Thanks, jak!
