Try this test with the client window active: ~+!m::MsgBox % A_ThisHotkey Just tried it with the ~ - and got the same result: Message box comes up in any app - except in VMware client. To be precise: When I just select the VMware window (say, by clicking on the window bar) I still can fire the messa...

Thanks for the idea with ~!

Will try it on Monday when I'm back at the Windows machine and report back.

Thanks again.

Yep, you've to dig in VMWare's configuration, similar to this... https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-Client-for-Linux/2111/horizon-client-linux-installation/GUID-05FE2CCC-9D84-4B37-AC9B-D8CEC43D8567.html BTBH, it doesn't look very promising: https://www.google.de/search?q=site%3Aautohotkey.co...

It seems that VMWare Horizon Client gets into the key event chain before AutoHotKey has a chance to deal with them This could simply mean that the Client runs with elevated rights. I don't think the VMWare client runs as admin (I just start it via the entry in the Start menu), but how can I check? ...

For that reason, it could be that a key-combo like Shift+Alt+M needs to be changed using Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M Thanks for chiming in! I just tried Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M (or in AutoHotkey speech ^+!m:: ) - with no luck: When inside the VMware app Autohotkey is not triggered. or whatever... Well, I experimente...

On a local Windows 7 machine I use the VMWare Horizon Client app to login to a remote Windows 10 machine. On the local machine I have AutoHotKey installed. I can define hotkeys, say Shift-Alt-M to trigger actions like showing a message box. So far so good. However this stops working in the VMWare Ho...

Cool! Thanks a lot - exactly what I need! (I have reduced the loop to 2 though; that seems to be enough for me.)

Hi there

Can AutoHotKey do a visual beep (e.g. flashing the screen) as opposed to a real beep created with SoundBeep?

Cool! That's it, jeeswg! Thanks a lot! To your question whether keypresses not work: Well, they work , but are interpreted as keypresses for the remote window inside the session window. HTH. My complete code now looks like this: WinActivate, Remote Session CoordMode, Mouse, Window MouseMove, 100, 20...

No, Alt-Left-Down gets captured inside the session as well.

I guess I really need to right-click the title bar of the window... Is there an easy way to do this with a given window?

Problem is that the window contains a remote Windows session on another machine and Alt-Space is captured inside the window.

How can I open the context menu of the window's title bar via AutoHotkey and then click a menu item by name?

Many thanks for any pointers!
