This feels like it should be easy. I want to reverse the behavior of the shift key. While it is pressed down, the system should think it is not engaged. When released, the system should think it is engaged. Here's my attempt. I'm not sure if the * vs the $ prefix matters here? Neither seem to work. ...

I don't have a solution for you, but I also have a surface book and stumbled on your post and the fn-del/backspace command is incredibly helpful. Thanks.

I did play around with it for a second and the key history doesn't register the Fn key (or Fn+del). Odd.

The percent mark syntax strikes again... thanks

I think the backspacing mixing with user keyboard input is the biggest problem, but it also seems like it might be actually modifying what is sent to the server somehow (like rapid keypresses after hitting space are fowling up the word before it is sent), but that is probably an unrelated issue. I c...

Just chiming in to say that I am working on a semi-related autocorrect project, and this script is super cool.

(thanks again for the answers) This project is much farther along now (!) - I'll post the rest of it at some point if it gets to a semi-useful state. At this point I have: - AHK tracking words I type - AHK submitting words to the python script for evaluation - the python script returns the best dict...

That worked! I was assuming that 64-bit Python would make a 64-bit COM server, but it does not. Thanks. I do want the Python program to be the server. Am I misunderstanding the purpose of ObjRegisterActive, or does it not make sense to use it in that case? EDIT: in the off chance someone else needs ...

I have been looking at the documentation, but don't know how to debug it with the given info. ComObjActive() throws an "operation unavailable" error. All the examples in this thread https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/56987-com-object-reference-autohotkey-v11/page-1 just use create, so it seems like ...

Ok, new question: After a lot of thrashing around, I have a working Python COM server. I tested it with a Python client. Now I'm trying to test it with an AHK client, simply calling ComObjCreate() and pinging it. I ran into this error on running the script: "The specified module could not be found" ...

For future reference, so you consistently get the answers your looking for, you should state that other implementations aren't what you're looking for, if applicable. That's usually a go-to thing for those helping, as to not have to re-write code if not necessary. Also, you should be able to run an...

Masonjar13 - I'm familiar with that, but got frustrated with it and think that a more thorough version could work a lot better - the idea being to take a string that isn't in a dictionary and return any dictionary strings that are close to it and pick the best one. It requires more complicated data ...

My question is about COM, but for some background: I'm trying to write a general autocorrect program for Windows. I want to write the actual engine in a more traditional language (e.g. Python) because it is somewhat complicated and I am also unsure of how efficiently AHK's associative arrays are imp...
