 |
|
When I run this script
!F10::
msgbox, you pressed Alt + F10
return
and press Alt-F10 ... my keyboard locks (not mouse) ... no response until I hit enter. Then I regain keyboard control
Odd.
There's got to be an obvious reason, right? Any ideas?
Thanks! |

| What do you mean, exactly? Do you mean the keyboard locks completely, for any application? |

Strange, !F10 doesn't lock my keyboard.
Have you tried opening any other app (e.g. Notepad) and pressing some keys there ?

Yup. Even tried it while typing this message. Keybd gets disabled until I click and unload ahk.
this is the entire file
!F10::
msgbox, got here

Here it works too.
What system are you using? Win98 maybe?
If 2000 or XP, what happens if you put this line to the beginning of the script:

Nope. I am using WinXP Home Edition. AND adding that extra command completely locked up my keyboard. Even unloading ahk did not resolve it, and I had to reboot.
Incidentally, I made sure there was nothing else loaded (that I know of) that might interfere with the keys.
Any ideas?
I am at a loss! |

Same issue. BUT I think I figured out the problem. Alt-F9 works .. but not alt-F10. So this is an ahk-conflict issue with the cuecat (scanner) driver - which is supposed preceed scanner input with an AltF10 code - which is what I was trying to detect.
There must be some sort of conflict with the cuecat driver. I just noticed that I can see some affect with Alt-F10 without ahk - though not as severe.
Does anyone have any experience with this???
Thanks! |

Do you happen to have a German keyboard? I had problems with mine and autohotkey (at a script for key remapping).
Cya
PS: Oh, I just read it had something to do with your scanner. Hm, my post won't help you then. |
