 |
|
In order to know what I mean you can check this thread: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2052
To say it in short: A key remapping script works in WinXP but it doesn't work in Win98, and won't work without trying many tricks.

| It's hard to significantly improve remapping support on Windows 9x without creating a new an entirely new hook (in a DLL file). This would probably involve a week or more of effort, which is hard to justify given the other pending priorities and the shrinking percentage of Win9x users. |

Support for Windows 9x, while less than that for the NT-based OSes, will not be abandoned. It's just that adding complex new features specifically for Windows 9x is fairly unlikely due to cost vs. benefit.
That's not to say it's ruled out. For example, if someone were to submit Win9x-specific code, I'd definitely consider adding it to the main code base if it seemed like a good feature (even if it wouldn't benefit NT/2k/XP users). |
