I do a lot of data entry, and discovered that most of it uses the NumPad, so I
remapped most of the keys around the NumPad to help, and I can also do 1 key perform scripts in my dB, FileMaker Pro. Suffice to say, I love this App.
My problem, I'm trying to do something that should be very easy, but I'm obviously doing something wrong.
What I want-
LShift & NumPad1::Send, ST{Space} (if you're entering a street number that ends in 1, it should have a "ST " after it, ends in 2, a "ND ", etc,)
It doesn't work. I've tried adding ~,*,$,everything I could find in the Help, it just does nothing. If I change Shift to LCtrl or LWin, it works, but I really would like to use the
Shift key. Please help.

Thanx
Don

The reason Shift+Numpad combinations do not work is that the shift key temporarily turns off Numlock while you're holding it down. Therefore, you would use NumpadEnd instead of Numpad1. Also, you need to omit the LShift prefix because the keyboard driver forces the shift key into the up position the moment you press a Numpad key. Example:

NumPadEnd::MsgBox You pressed Shift+Numpad1, or pressed Numpad1 while Numlock was off.

It's an obscure issue so I'm glad you asked about it.

Thanks, Chris
So to re-map the Number keys on the NumPad with (I have NumPadLock Alwayson) the Shift key as modifier, I just use the PGUp, PgDn, etc.
BTW, in your example, shouldn't it be
+NumPadEnd::MsgBox etc.?
I may actually learn this stuff!
Again, Thanks.

My bad, trying to correct the guy who wrote this, especially
when I didn't even try it out first.
My apologies
