PrintScreen

[jrachr]

Good Day. Well this should be easy but I don't get it. Does anyone know why this won't work.It should. Works fine when remapped to other keys but I want to use printscreen key if possible.Have tried Run,Send ,even Printscreen::control but nothing works. Yet remapping to rctrl does. Any ideas?

Code: Select all

#NoEnv 
#Persistent 
#SingleInstance, Force

PrintScreen::
Run ,  D:\Window's Shortcut's\Control Panel - Shortcut.lnk
Return

.nobody has any idea why this won't work? In ahk there must be some way.

eh idk but copy and paste this

Code: Select all

PrintScreen::
	run, control.exe
Return

should work totally fine

Edit: I copied your full script, created the same folders. For me also this works too.
Edit2: Maybe use KeyHistory to view the pressed key inside ahk if you press print

like this. You start press print and then a. Ahk opens and shows the pressed key. Is it "PrintScreen" there?

Code: Select all

#InstallKeybdHook

a::
KeyHistory

@ master_x. Thank you very much Master. PrintScreen never worked but by using your tip to get the scan code and using that it worked while the key that came up which did show PrintScreen did not. I do not know what OSK is but will research it later. Like the key History tool. Will hold on to that for future use if I may. Once again tk's.Cheer's
