Accented characters in Gui Edit control

19 Dec 2014, 17:25

Using EN UK keyboard, pressing AltGr-A in Gui Edit control should produce "á" character but it triggers Ctrl-Alt-A instead.

In all other applications in edit controls it works well, shows á.

So is it a bug or I'm doing something wrong? As said, this only happens in AutoHotkey gui, in all other apps it works well.

You can call it a bug. AltGr is actually RAlt+LCtrl. The way AutoHotkey implements Ctrl+A, other combinations of modifiers including Ctrl also trigger it.

It will be fixed in the next update. Until then, you can work around it by adding -WantCtrlA to the control's options.
