For the "shift overrides Numlock" issue, maybe this helps? #if GetKeyState("NumLock", "T") NumpadEnd::MsgBox Shift + Numpad1 ; <== #if Numpad1::MsgBox Numpad1 NumpadEnd::MsgBox NumpadEnd +NumpadEnd::MsgBox Shift + NumpadEnd I'm wondering if REAPER supports key codes on PC for other characters that a...

swagfag Even if you think that "an object created by the script" should include a "func reference", it is clearly excluded with "not an actual function". A "func reference" is not an object. It is a reference to an object. The object itself is created by the preparser before the script executes. A ...

To whoever marked the topic as solved: best not to do that yet, if you want the bug to be fixed.

That is correct; the #If expression is evaluated as a new thread, with Critical in effect.

I have moved the topic to the documentation subforum.

Every program has its own copy of the environment (a block of environment variables), generally inherited from the process which launched it. If you modify PATH for the system or current user (whether you do it yourself or it is done by an installer program), it will generally only apply to explorer...

It is impossible for this to be a bug of AutoHotkey. "Edit This Script" just executes the "edit" shell verb by calling ShellExecuteEx (a system function), or failing that, executes notepad.exe directly. ShellExecuteEx is responsible for looking up the appropriate command line and executing it. The p...

It appears that "ActiveHotkeys" only tells you which hotkeys are 'active', not which program registered them. It most likely works by attempting to register every possible combination with RegisterHotkey. If a combination succeeds, that hotkey wasn't already registered by some other program. This is...

For example, is there any way that AHK or some other program can show a list of programs that are running with keyboard hooks? Not as far as I know. However, some antivirus software can detect and block the use of keyboard hooks, somehow. SetWindowsHookEx with WH_DEBUG might detect when a hook is c...

You could just use a normal Loop and "index" the string with SubStr.

It is my opinion that the majority of the remaining reliability problems with hotkeys or Send are inherent to the underlying systems/processes, or have causes that cannot be fixed by changes to AutoHotkey (but can generally be worked around by utilizing methods appropriate to the situation, from wha...

Error: Parameter #3 invalid. Line# ---> 001: MsgBox(InStr("aaa_XY_bbb", "xy", "1WrongArg")) ... is what you'd get with AutoHotkey v2. InStr in AutoHotkey v1 (but not v2) expects an integer for the CaseSensitive parameter. It does not interpret the parameter directly as boolean. Otherwise, "WrongArg...

Well, what's the cause of the problems?

There is a great deal of complexity involved in keyboard input processing, most of it existing outside of AutoHotkey. AutoHotkey provides multiple send modes, key delay settings, and other options because there is no single perfect tool for every job.

I thought that vol/vol would throw an error when vol=0 AutoHotkey v2 does that. It has a stricter, more consistent and (IMO) more sensible error handling policy than v1, which yields an empty string in this case, but in other cases aborts the expression, sets ErrorLevel or throws an exception, depe...

There's a reason for the last line in the dialog: For more details, read the documentation for #Warn. The documentation contains explanations of the warning, how to avoid it, and what error it is meant to detect. But it's probably not clear that this is the LocalSameAsGlobal warning; see that sectio...

I can simply remove #Warn :thumbup: :thumbdown: tatagi What does ime_check return? It most likely is not intended to return a variable name , so ret most likely should not be enclosed in percent signs in that context. In that case, #Warn is doing exactly what it is intended for: alerting you to a m...

SendInput {Blind}{Text}Ű is guaranteed to not mess with Shift at all, and will produce the character Ű regardless of whether Shift is pressed. (Text mode generally produces either exactly what you pass it, or nothing at all.) SendInput {Text}Ű will release Shift temporarily if you are holding it, (...

gregster That is clearly the output format of SciTE. It is the result of executing a tool in SciTE; e.g. "running" the script by pressing F5. I am not running SciTE4AHK300601_Portable that is on my E:\ USB drive Did you mean to say the opposite? It looks very much like you are running SciTE4AHK3006...

I assume your issue is not that the volume level does not go down to zero, as originally described, but that zero != silent. The volume level ranges from "0" to "100", but "0" is not silent ; it just corresponds to the minimum value supported by the audio driver. The scalar values 0 - 100 are intern...

Declarations are processed before the script executes. Variable initializers are just assignments, so are subject to control flow. The two parts are processed at different stages.

You can declare the variable outside the function, then assign it inside.

Note that compiled scripts do not include the " - AutoHotkey v version " suffix. I usually use a combination of filename and ahk_class AutoHotkey to identify scripts. Only a script's main window has this window class. In general (for all kinds of windows), using the window class in combination with ...
