Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V not working
my ctrl c and v stopped working and I've tried everything I could find to fix it. Is it possible to run a script that would make it do the same thing?
Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
That's unusual-- would probably investigate the cause such as conflicting software, global keyboard shortcuts set elsewhere, etc. Try closing all programs and non-Windows tray icons, and then trying again.
Code: Select all
F3::Send ^c
F4::Send ^v

Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
I've tried writing the script that way It doesn't work. I've also tried those suggestions. Doesn't work in safe mode either.
Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
Did you test in Notepad?
Did you reboot your computer, exit all other scripts, close all clipboard managers, and use only this code in your current script?

Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
I saw those already.
Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
I imagine that you will need to investigate or apply the remedies that are described there.

Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
Let me rephrase. I tried those already.
Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
OK. Perhaps others will know the fix.

Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
doubt it. looks like you are the only one here. lol thanks anyways.
Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
Since the hotkeys aren't working, it sounds like it must not be a hardware problem. Have you tried a different keyboard just to eliminate that as a possibility (as was suggested in one of the linked sites)?

Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
Yeah, this is a new keyboard. It did it with the last as well.
Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
Can you see if the keypresses are even being registered by Windows? Run the following script and follow the instructions:
...and see if it shows you something like this:
Code: Select all
#UseHook
MsgBox, Press Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V then click OK to see key history.`n`nAfter viewing the key history, press Esc to exit script.
KeyHistory
return
Esc::ExitApp
Code: Select all

Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
OK, so that means that Windows is actually receiving and registering the correct keystrokes.
Do the alternate keystrokes Ctrl+Ins (copy) and Shift+Ins (paste) work? If so, try this code and see if you can copy/paste with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V:
Does right-clicking and selecting Copy and/or Paste work? I'm assuming they do since you were able to copy and paste the key history text.
How about Ctrl+X? Does that cut the highlighted text (assuming it's in a place where it can be cut like in a Notepad window)?

Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
ctrl+x doesn't do anything. The script didn't do anything but ctrl+Ins and shift+Ins works. I didn't know those combos existed lol I might be such using those.
Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
Hmm, that's weird that the shortcuts using Ins work but the remappings don't since we saw that windows actually recognizes the keypresses. Now I'm curious: Do these hotkeys even bring up a MsgBox when you run the script below?
If not, then see if this version works:
Code: Select all
^c::MsgBox, Ctrl+C was pressed
^v::MsgBox, Ctrl+V was pressed
Code: Select all
#UseHook
^c::MsgBox, Ctrl+C was pressed
^v::MsgBox, Ctrl+V was pressed

Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
Yeah, it actually said ctrl+c / v was pressed.
Re: ctrl + c ctrl + v not working
Then that’s surprising that the remappings didn’t work. Maybe they’ll work like this:
Code: Select all
^c::Send, ^{Ins}
^v::Send, +{Ins}
