This code works perfectly for me, apart from the t wasnt in percent signs.

If you are using longer code than just the msgboxes the problem could be lack of {} within the ifs

SO

Code:
#z::
Input, t, , {F12}{F11}
 
    if ErrorLevel = Endkey:F12
       {
       MsgBox, t F12
       }
    else if ErrorLevel = Endkey:F11
       {
       MsgBox, t F11
       }
return

#z::
Input, x, T5, {F12}{F11}

if ErrorLevel = Timeout
{
MsgBox, %x% Timeout
}
else if ErrorLevel = Endkey:F12
{
MsgBox, %x% F12
}
else if ErrorLevel = Endkey:F11
{
MsgBox, %x% F11
}

return



F12::MsgBox, only F12


F11::MsgBox, only F11


when F12 and F11 all remapping the other function but only F12 didn't work in #z:: for me

check this again see if that's relly a bug or only a problem for me

thanks

These days I keep trying different keyboards and make me think of it might not a problem of my side.
the code did work fine as Superfraggle said when i delet all the other codes and leave only this part
Code:

#z::
Input, x, T5, {F12}{F11}

    if ErrorLevel = Timeout
       {
       MsgBox, %x% Timeout
       }
    else if ErrorLevel = Endkey:F12
       {
       MsgBox, %x% F12
       }
    else if ErrorLevel = Endkey:F11
       {
       MsgBox, %x% F11
       }

return


but for simulate my situation i simply remapped F11 and F12 to do something
Code:

#z::
Input, x, T5, {F12}{F11}

    if ErrorLevel = Timeout
       {
       MsgBox, %x% Timeout
       }
    else if ErrorLevel = Endkey:F12
       {
       MsgBox, %x% F12
       }
    else if ErrorLevel = Endkey:F11
       {
       MsgBox, %x% F11
       }

return

F12::MsgBox, only F12
F11::MsgBox, only F11


and the problem shows up again, which is only F12 will shows no responce and result a ErrorLevel = Timeout output.
Hope this find out can help AutoHotKey to improve the software.

And thanks for the trying, Superfraggle.

Sorry for the late reply.

I can see that F12 behaves differently from other keys in this example. I seem to remember that F12 is reserved by the OS as a debugger key, at least under some configurations. That explains why ListHotkeys shows F12 to be a hook hotkey (because the OS refused to allow it to be registered as a normal hotkey), but other function keys are normal/registered hotkeys. This in turn explains why the Input command behaves different: it's documented that hook hotkeys (but not normal hotkeys) can be triggered during an Input.

Since there is nothing special about F12 in the AutoHotkey source code, there's no obvious way to fix this. However, it's good that you reported it in case anyone else has the same issue.

This seems to be the same problem:
Code:
#7::
SEND, {F11}
MSGBOX, F11 sent
RETURN
F11::MSGBOX, F11 received

#8::
SEND, {F12}
MSGBOX, F12 sent
RETURN
F12::MSGBOX, F12 received - doesn't happen, F12 goes direct to the GUI

Not a big problem, but good to know.
