I've bound shift, capslock, ctrl, alt, and every other key. The only one i have left that is easily accessible is LWIN.


also, I wish there was a way to send characters even if the keys to those characters are bound to other functions

for instance in the following code I don't want the msgbox to appear

[::msgbox Interrupting Box Here
::mrH::Mr Hammer ===[] was here

i'd rather it draw the little hammer even though i use my left bracket key for another function. Yes i know there's a work around but I have about 15 of my alphanumeric keys switched around and i don't want to rebind them or use suspend (suspend is used for something else in my code). I kinda expected SendRaw to do this before i read about what it did.

Thanks

To prevent hotkeys from being fired by the Send command, make them into hook hotkeys. To do this, either put #UseHook at the top of the script or put a $ in front of each hotkey you want to be a hook hotkey.

For example:
$[::msgbox Interrupting Box Here

Questions about complex key bindings are always welcome. Usually there is an existing way to do it; but if not, sometimes it will be a feature I'm able to add.

excellent! I'll put that in immediately.

How about my first question about LWIN as a hotstring endchar? possible? Is there a work-around to make it possible?

If I do this it still doesn't work as an endchar:

Actually the registry thing is a good idea in my case. It's a computer at work that is only used to run a couple programs. I happened to stumble across a program that will remap keys in the registry before I found AHK. So I can do that on my own. Thanks for the fast response and the lead. I wouldn't have thought of that.
