hi,

i've the following code

Quote:

CoordMode, ToolTip, Screen

Lwin::
ToolTip, test, 1, 1
Input, Key, L1

IfEqual, Key, T, send, test

ToolTip
Return


i want have written "test" followed by a press of "Enter" - how am I supposed to code the "Enter"-Key?

and what do I have to add in order to end the tooltip-display by pressing the LWin-Key again?

thanks a lot,
Stevo

Code:
LWin::
Regular:
Hotkey,LWin,Alternate
Tooltip,test,1,1
Input,Key,L1

IfEqual,Key,T,Send,test{Enter} ; "`n" would work too.
return

Alternate:
Tooltip
Hotkey,LWin,Regular
return


The tooltip will stay open until you press LWin again, and will not close by any other means. Put a blank Tooltip line in the Regular hotkey if you don't want it that way.

well, it won't close by pressing Lwin again - try it out, it stays open all the time no matter what key I'll press

I'm sorry, yes that's definitely a flaw. Add this line to the top of the script to fix it:

Code:
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2


Note that the Input you started will stay running until a key is pressed, and that key will not go through to the active window. I'm not sure there's any way to work around this. This script is difficult. Confused Thanks for the challenge, I'll post if I think of some way to improve this!

ok

by the way: the "`n" as a way to simulate the press of "Enter" works well in notepad, editor, word and Co. but fails when it comes to HTML forms, such as filling in a search term at www.google.com - visit google.com and trigger "test`n" by using AutoHotkey

do you know whats wrong with that?

LOL!!!! Surprised Surprised Surprised Laughing Laughing

Ok... here's your problem. As you know (or should know), Internet Explorer, which I'm assuming you're using, is by no means whatsoever standards compliant. Almost every other browser out there adheres to the universally accepted internet standards, except for the universally stupid Microsoft.

This may be an assumption, but it could very well be a correct one: IE isn't properly translating the Linefeed (that "`n" sends) into an Enter keystroke. In such a single-line edit field, "`n" works fine in all three of the other browsers I tried it in, which are all standards compliant. A hefty assumption, but hey, the evidence supports it and my rants need some fresh, hard proof. Laughing

That's because `n sends Ctrl+Enter. You could use `r to send a plain enter.

Since the sending of `n seems to be a recurring problem, I think I'm going to change the Send command to interpret it as Enter instead of Ctrl+Enter. Does anyone see a problem with that?
