Hi,

I have a Dell Keyboard that has three extra buttons. If I initialize the
keyboard hook with #InstallKeybdHook and press those buttons the key
history has got the 'mystery keys' listed.

They are:

VK: FF - SC: 112
VK: FF - SC: 11E
VK: FF - SC: 126

If I want to add one of those keys as a hotkey in my script it doesn't work.
My script looks like this:

Try using the "SC" method on a normal key:
SC03C::MsgBox You pressed F2.

If it works on a normal key but not on your special keys, that would be a little baffling. If you have time, I would like to work with you to find out why.

Great, the new version's "fire on key release-hotkeys" got it working.
Thank you, Chris, for reacting so quickly!
