Very Elementary Mouse Button Remapping - What Am I Missing? Topic is solved

[dox]

Below works as expected, with pressing F1 popping intended message.

Code: Select all

F1::F2

F2::
	MsgBox, F2 pressed
Return

But replacing it with RButton or MButton doesn't work.

Code: Select all

F1::Rbutton

Rbutton::
	MsgBox, Right mouse button pressed
Return

Enabling "MouseHook" makes no difference. Must be something elementary I am missing.

Thanks in advance for any explanation! And possible workarounds?

The tutorial code below, straight from https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/_InputLevel.htm#ExBasic:

Code: Select all

#InputLevel 1
Numpad0::LButton
#InputLevel 0
; This hotkey can be triggered by both Numpad0 and LButton:
~LButton::MsgBox Clicked

is not working for me, either.

I gotta be missing something simple here. Anyone with any ideas what it could be? Some implied directive I didn't declare? Thanks in advance!

Numpad0::LButton
#InputLevel 0
; This hotkey can be triggered by both Numpad0 and LButton:
~LButton::MsgBox Clicked

Works fine here.

But, like always, the permissions level of the script has to fit the one of the target application. See https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/FAQ.htm#uac

The code in OP's first post also works for me.

Thanks very much to you both for double-checking! Turns out you are 100% right, Gregster. It is a Win 10 UAC thing that completely eluded me until you brought it to my attention.

Running the hotkey remapping as Admin was without a hitch.

My conundrum is that I intend to invoke these hotkeys both at work and outside, portably out of necessity at work. Any potential workaround other than avoiding them in the first place, while accepting that I am subject to the constraints of UAC while not being able to bypass it with the "Run with UI Access" option?

Thanks again in advance for any ideas.

Found a workaround under constraint of UAC while satisfying the requirement of portability:

Code: Select all

F1::
	Gosub ~Rbutton
Return


~Rbutton::
	MsgBox, Right button clicked
Return

Thanks everyone.
