 |
|
To demonstrate the problem, I've stripped down one of my files to create TEST.AHK, which consists of the following two lines:
| Code: | ; RIGHT ALT, number combinations
>!6:: Send, ¼ |
If you run this in v1.0.42.07 and press RIGHT ALT+6 in Microsoft Word, for example, AutoHotkey enters "¼", but the Alt key remains in the down position. If you type F, the File menu pops down, instead of an F being typed. You can press and release the left Alt key to free the Alt key condition. In v1.0.42.03 (my prior version) the script behaves correctly. I am using Windows 2000. |

Although I can't reproduce it, it might be something that I've already fixed in the version under development. When the next version is released (hopefully tomorrow), perhaps you could try it again with that version and post the results.
Thanks. |

The "Alt key remains down"-issue happens even with my german keyboard (without right alt key). In some cases the (left) alt key remains down after some hotkey action and changes the keyboard behavior until I press the Alt key again.
Considering this may not be an individual problem I'll examine this more closely.

| I installed v1.0.43, and the unmodified script still acts as though the Alt key in the down position. However, I think this has become a moot point. I found that if I substitute the SendInput command for the Send command, the script acts fine. |

Thanks for the follow-up. I was never able to reproduce the problem using the traditional Send command (SendEvent). And I just tried it again and couldn't reproduce it, even when holding down the hotkey to auto-repeat it:
>!6:: Send, ¼
It could be some kind of conflict with other keyboard software you may be running, or the keyboard driver itself. Alternatively, if you have any other scripts running simultaneously, it's possible they could interfere with each other's hotkeys.
But I'm glad you found a work-around. If anyone else sees behavior similar to this, please let me know. |

I am experiencing the ALT down problem as well.
I am running windows 2000 as well. Could there be a problem with autohotkey on windows 2000?
I am using version 1.0.47.05
This is what I have in my script
F10::å
+F10::Å
F11::ä
+F11::Ä
F12::ö
+F12::Ö
Anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thanks. |

Changing
F10::å
+F10::Å
F11::ä
+F11::Ä
F12::ö
+F12::Ö
to
F10::Send å
+F10::Send Å
F11::Send ä
+F11::Send Ä
F12::Send ö
+F12::Send Ö
avoided the problem for me. |
