I am trying to setup hotstrings that will replace over a remote desktop. I do not need to communicate with any applications - only the auto-replace hotstrings. AHK is recogizing the hotstring sequences but the output is not correct on the terminal server.

Code:
:*:mypath::C:\Program Files\


When the replace is done in any application on my local PC, final text is fine:

C:\Program Files\


When the replace is done in any program on the TS, I get some garbage characters.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

I've never tried AHK over RD, but a title search for "Remote Desktop" returns 17 results, looks like some good info in there.

Just to clarify...

You are trying to
1) Have AHK only installed on the local PC
2) Want to have hotstring expansion happen remotely when connected through remote desktop.

Correct??

I've too searched the forum for Remote Desktop, but none of the 60+ reference seem to address your simple question.

I don't have a setup I can easily test for you... but I'm sure other kind
forum members will chime in with their experience.

Good luck with AHK adventure Smile

Yes, that is exactly right. Thanks for helping to clarify.

Try to specify a delay
Code:
:*k10:mypath::C:\Program Files\

Thanks Tonne, but no luck with the key delay option.

How about trying some of the other send modes. SendEvent/SendInput/SendPlay
