 Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 9:01 pm Post subject: Possible bug with shift keys |
 |
|
The following simple script designed to work like a shift lock - for me at least, will only work with the left shift key.
Pressing right shift will activate it, but will not deactivate it, only left shift will deactivate it.
| Code: | $shift::
Shifted:=!Shifted
If (shifted)
Send,{Shift Down}
else
Send,{Shift UP}
REturn |

I was working on that post at the same time you were, I initially tried a similar method and couldn't get the shift key to toggle back and forth at all. Even with your method I'm still unable to get it to work. Seems like it must be intentional but I couldn't find any documentation on it.

The solution seems to be to use *Shift:: instead of Shift::, or both Shift:: and +RShift::. Since +Shift does not work in place of +RShift, I suppose there's a bug. It seems to also apply to LCtrl/RCtrl and LAlt/RAlt.
When I tried adapting the script to deal with LWin, it seemed to get stuck down. I'm not sure if its related though since there is no neutral 'Win' key, and I have no RWin key to test with.
Since the RegisterHotkey (reg) method usually doesn't work for modifier keys, $ is usually unnecessary. RegisterHotkey seems to succeed for some odd hotkeys (like #LWin), though. |
