 Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2008 2:27 pm Post subject: How to enter numlockdown and numlockup? |
 |
|
I've installed AutoHotkey and got it working on abbreviations and was able to get all that working in under two minutes.
I'll study the manual in more detail later but in the meantime I have a small query (I HAVE tried to find an answer by searching but I haven't succeeded)
Here's what I need: the key sequence for
numlockdown minus numlockup
it's a sequence used by my kvm switch. I've tried
{numlock down} {numpadminus} {numlock up}
and a few similar things that seemed worth trying, but without any luck.
Is there a keystroke recorder utility that would help discover the right keypresses? My keyboard is not fully supported by Vista so I'm not certain everything works as it should. It seems to but it's unsupported (Microsoft Office keyboard).
Wait... I found this... http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic1863.html
same problem but no answer posted
I'll experiment further. If anyone else has an ATEN CS1734B ... post here!

Try:
| Code: | | Send, {Numlock Down}{NumpadSub}{Numlock Up} |

| Sorry, I had "minus" there originally instead of "{numpadminus}". I tried that and {numpadsub} but .. no joy. |

My KVM can use Control_F12 instead of the sequence of numlock followed by a minus. Just need to figure out what ^F12 is
I assume it's not ^F12 ?
because that could be ^F1 plus 2
A table of Autohotkeys would help! |

it probably wont work because the kvm is reading the keystrokes directly from your hardware.

Ok thanks both, also for the laugh when I realized the bug was in the screen not on it.
If there are any Autohotkey friendly KVMs it would be good to have a list somewhere. |
