Send won't send characters unless I'm moving the mouse Topic is solved

[Gibbons]

when I press a hotkey that uses the Send function the characters will not print to the window unless I'm actively moving the mouse.

I've tried "Send", "SendText", and "SendInput" with the same result.

Usually the first 25 characters work, then I need to continuously move the mouse to get the rest to print to the window.

I'm befuddled.

If it's with Notepad on Win 11, this is a known issue with Windows. Use SendEvent or the Windows clipboard.
