I did not test your script. If you would like to create a hotkey for a different context, such as #If cooling2(A_ThisHotkey) , then you would place such a directive before the first hotkey in that context. The #If directive applies to all hotkeys and hotstrings below it, until the next such directiv...

The "Scripts and Functions" boards contain additional working scripts of many kinds. https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=6 https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=83 You can have both versions, v1 and v2, installed and then run scripts of either version. I write new scripts i...

First, test by showing a MsgBox instead of sending text. If that works, add a short sleep before sending your text. Check KeyHistory.

Sounds like something else steals the focus somehow, or there is a UAC issue.

I'm not sure what this means: "I press up (keypress), end (keypress)". Is this a sequence? A combination? Something else? Hotkeys work individually unless you add code to handle sequencing. Naming two or more hotkeys on consecutive lines does not actually enact or detect a key sequence. Below is inf...

A forum search is another idea.

Although you posted many scripts, nowhere in this thread have you described what your script should do. In addition, no examples are provided. A script is not a statement or description of your intent. It is merely a product of your coding. Without any statement of your goal, I cannot comment on how...

The outer braces are not necessary and, I would say, are also not recommended. In this case, they do not create a specific problem, but in other situations, they might.

That is not the bug. The hotkeys would be stacked by removing the second brace. Multiple hotkeys can be stacked vertically to have them perform the same action. For example: ^Numpad0:: ^Numpad1:: { MsgBox "Pressing either Ctrl+Numpad0 or Ctrl+Numpad1 will display this." } Source: Hotkeys - Definitio...

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

; winTitle := 'ahk_exe Notepad.exe'

#HotIf WinActive(winTitle)

^\::Send '\'

The script below worked on Win 11. #Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11 player := "Media Player ahk_class ApplicationFrameWindow" #If WinExist(player) ^!c:: WinClose MsgBox 64, Status, Closed! Return #If If you are new to AHK, I recommend using its current version, which is v2, instead of this older depr...

I tried one of your hotkeys here (without your other program, of course), and it worked. My approach to troubleshooting this would be to test a shorter and simpler script to understand how your program is using and responding to hotkeys. The following script might show whether you can trigger and se...

mikeyww

I'm not sure why you are seeing that effect, not replicated here. Perhaps others will have more insight into your problem here. I would recommend closing all script and programs, and then running a simple test script. #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 m := Menu() m.Add '&1 abc', paste b::m.Show paste(itemNa...

It works here. An example of some streamlining is shown below. GUI can use a font and font size of your choice. If you are testing in Notepad on Win 11, you will find that SendInput does not work there, but SendEvent does. #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 word := ['Abc', 'Ade', 'Az', 'Bbc', 'Bde', 'Bz'] ve...

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum! It worked here, but you might want to try a regular hotkey, such as F3 , to display your menu. If it does work, it tells you that the custom combination or its specific parts might be interfering. An alternative is to use a one-key hotkey that opens a menu with subm...

As shown above, to use text mode, prepend your text with {Text}.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11
str := "!E@#$%^f"
Send % "{Text}" str

When you tried text mode, what happened? What was your script?

When you revise a script, please do not edit your post. Create a new reply. Tested without any problems here. This may be easy to debug if you close all other programs, scripts, macros, keyboard utilities, mouse utilities, clipboard utilities, and tray-resident programs. Re-test. Use only the script...
