key recorder? Topic is solved

[elvisautohotkey]

Years ago when I install an AHK pack, there was a key recorder. Whatever key I press, the recorder shows the key name, and I can use the exact name on my AHK coding. But, days before I install AHK, there is no recorder. How do I know what is the key name I press?

This question is to solve my other question. I want to record the keys to know if AHK and determine the difference between a built-in numeric keypad and an external USB ones.

Thank you.

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

; Show information for the last pressed key.
#InstallKeybdHook
#InstallMouseHook   
SetTimer, Information, 300
Information:
ToolTip, % Format(
(Join
"Key Name:`t{}`nVirtual Code:`tVK{:02X}`nScan Code:`tSC{:03X}"
,A_PriorKey,GetKeyVK(A_PriorKey),GetKeySC(A_PriorKey))
)
Return

Thank you very much. The recorder works.

Now I know that numeric keypad doesn't send numpad 0 ~9. It sends simulated 1~9. It is complicated, but I will find a way to remap it eventually.

You can add or replace with this TrayTip

Code: Select all

Traytip, THE KEY IS, %A_PriorKey%
