Get inputhook to trap function keys

[jmorr]

I have not set option V or -S but function keys are reaching the app. I guess they go there before they even get to AHK. Is there a solution to this? I want the keypress to go into the input buffer and nowhere else.

Hallo,
see https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/lib/InputHook.htm#VisibleNonText

Controls whether keys or key combinations which do not produce text are visible (not blocked).
CurrentSetting is NewSetting if assigned, otherwise 1 (true) by default. The V option sets this to 1 (true).

Just set to false (blocked)!

(I was just a bit irritated myself until I discovered that in the German manual I was using, blocking and non-blocking were unfortunately swapped around.

Thanks. I didn't read past "V: Sets VisibleText and VisibleNonText to 1 (true). Normally, the user's input is blocked (hidden from the system). Use this option to have the user's keystrokes sent to the active window." If I had I would have seen that it's only text characters that are normally blocked.
