Remapping entire keyboard to Halmak

[Bull123]

Hi all,
I just love ahk, and have used it for about 3 years now. But I have a question I just can't find a soulution to, even though I have googled it for quite some time now(!)

I have remapped the entire keyboard to something resembelling Halmak, but a simplified version of my script looks like this:

Code: Select all

SetKeyDelay, 0
#installKeybdHook
#UseHook On
b::n
n::b 

And in another script that is also running, I have this code:

Code: Select all

::nnn::
    send, Hello World!
    return

The problem comes when I try to activate the "Hello World"-snippet.
If I type "nnn" (on the original "b" button), nothing happens.
But if type "bbb" (on the original "n" button), the "Hello World"-snippet actually activates.

It seems the output ot the first code isn't used as input for the next. Unfortunetly.

Any help would be much appreciated. Its driving me mad. Or at least semi-mado

You can combine the scripts.

Code: Select all

#InputLevel 1
b::n
n::b
#InputLevel 0
:CT:nnn::Hello World!

Thanks, Mikey!

Your code works perfectly for the hotstrings. But when I try to add a hotkey, the mapping doesn't follow anymore

Code: Select all

#InputLevel 1
b::n
n::b
#InputLevel 0
:CT:nnn::Hello World!
^n::
	msgbox, "control n"
	return
^b::
	msgbox, "control b" 
	return

When I click ctrl+"n" (original "b"-button), the result is a msgbox with text "control b"

Perhaps it's easy enough to make the adjustments here.

Code: Select all

#InputLevel 1
b::n
n::b
^n::MsgBox, Control b
^b::MsgBox, Control n
#InputLevel 0
:CT:nnn::Hello World!

Or:

Code: Select all

#InputLevel 1
b::n
n::b
#InputLevel 0
:CT:nnn::Hello World!
^n::MsgBox, Control b
^b::MsgBox, Control n

My general hunch here is that the hotkey itself (not hotstring) still stands. You can see it again in the following demonstration.

Code: Select all

#InputLevel 1
b::^n
n::x
#InputLevel 0
^n::MsgBox, Control n
x::Send y

Nonetheless, your remap still works, as-- without the added hotkey-- pressing Ctrl+B still sends Ctrl+N to your system.

Thanks,

And yes, it seems so.
Tried many hours today, and found someone who had used $ before each command.
But I didn't seem to do the trick

So I gave up and used another software instead (Keytweak). I think it changes the core register, and autohotkey doesn't even seem to notice that the key you click used to be another.
So that works perfect.

But I just feel there should be a way to do that something similar in autohotkey as well

Sure, you could also alter the registry with AHK - it just hasn't a fancy GUI for that. So KeyTweak is probably better for this.
But the "normal" remapping with AHK works differently, on a higher system level - and it's only temporary while the script runs. For many users, that's what they want.
For more permanent remaps, changing the registry might suit you better.
