A_PriorKey value convert to vk code

29 Jun 2023, 03:56

The script uses A_PriorKey to get the name of the previous key pressed, but it prints a letter, such as a dot . in the English layout, and ç in the Turkish layout. But i need to get the code of the pressed key (vk code), not the name, regardless of the layout.
That is, when you press dot, you should always get vkBE, not a dot or ç.
How would it be possible to convert ç value to vkBE code, or some other way?
