Need Help With A Simple Problem

[Xisto]

Hey, I'm pretty new to using AutoHotKeys but I'm already pretty decent at it.
However, I have a little problem with a certain thing. I'm trying to send a specific text by using the arrow keys on my keyboard - In this case its the Left arrow key
I want to be able to send the text :move x on Maxthon Cloud Browser but it turns out as ;move x
once I click the arrow key, it comes out as a semi colon instead of a colon?
it works fine with browsers like chrome, but I need it to work with Maxthon Cloud Browser, as Its a faster internet browser for my laptop.
The following is the script I use


Left::
{
SendInput {LCtrl Down}{Enter}{LCtrl Up}
SendInput :pull x{Enter}
}
Return


(I'm also using Windows 8)

Hi
I'm also new, so you may get a better solution soon - but from me...would it work if you sent the character number instead?

Code: Select all

SendInput {asc 058}

Yeah I understand but its better to use arrow keys on keyboard - because its for gaming

[programlearner]

Does this work?

Code: Select all

Left::
{
SendInput {LCtrl Down}{Enter}{LCtrl Up}
SendInput {asc 058}pull x{Enter}
}
Return

nope

I can't replicate your problem to find out what's wrong.

1) Have you tried SendPlay instead?

2) If you have the text on your clipboard and paste it - does it send the colon then?

My script works completely fine on browsers such as maxthon nitro, chrome, explorer.. but it doesnt work on Maxthon Cloud Browser
You mean SendPlay instead of SendInput? I'll try it out.
I'm just thinking that maybe the version of AutoHotKey im using isn't useful of Maxthon Cloud or maybe I need to change some administrator settings. not quite sure tbh

I download it from here:

The script you already have worked fine wherever I tried it.
Each time I pressed the left key, it sent:

:pull x

So I'm not sure how to help...sorry

Yeh its suppose to send :pull x
thats what I need on my maxthon cloud browser but it would send it as ;pull x instead
thats the thing I dont understand
