Macros don't work in VM Window in a work environment

04 Dec 2023, 11:49

Hello all,

This VM is hosted in an work environment that I don't have access to. I can't run the script as admin unfortunately, it required an higher elevation than the normal UAC and I think that may be the problem but not sure.

This VM is on VMware Horizon. I'm trying to use a simple keystroke macro to type out/paste my text when I press the dedicated key. I have "Extend the local IME to this desktop" enabled but still not working. Really weird but there was one random time it actually pasted but I wasn't sure what triggered it. I was alt+tabbing and maybe caught it in the moment before it could block my input. I have a macro software through Corsair that works but wanted to use AHK when I'm on the go and using my laptop keyboard.

Example of my script:

Code: Select all

F3::
	SendRaw, text
Return
[Mod edit: [code][/code] tags added.]
[Mod edit: Since the posted code is AHK v1 code, thiis topic was moved from AHK v2 help.]
