 |
|
This isn't limited to AutoHotkey, but I thought this would be a good place to try since I've struck out elsewhere.
My system (XP Pro, SP2) just doesn't seem to recognize the key combo Ctrl-Alt-k. I cannot remap this combo in AutoHotkey, Word doesn't recognize it, I can't assign it as a Windows shortcut to anything on my Start menu, etc.
No matter what the context, when I hit this combo, nothing happens.
Any thoughts? |

works for me!
Most likely, you have another program that hooks that combo as a hotkey, and so prevents other apps (like AHK) from seeing it. Another possibility is a damaged keyboard.

Works for me. Do you have another program running that might be using this hotkey, like a mouse driver? Try closing everything in the System Tray.

Ctrl-Alt-K is the default key combination to bring up KeePass.

Thanks for the feedback. This will take some digging to figure out. It's probably not the case that anything I've done has assigned the hotkey to another program since it's been like this since I bought the computer new in 2003. The first time I tried to assign this key combination was shortly afterward, in Word, and it didn't work then. I remember trying to assign it to a Start Menu shortcut just to see if that would work, and then just naively figured it was some kind of reserved combination unique to Windows and quit trying.
It's only been well afterwards that I filled my system up with all sorts of utilities and autohotkey scripts.
I'll work on it and report back any revelations. |
