I want that only the alphabet keyboards will work, when i use this script, but in a hungarian keyboard ...
Im a hungarian poet, and im a mess when im writing so ... im always end up writing to the ..ing nowhere, in the middle of the night, and there is nothing in the monitor, because an hour ago i pushed some not alphabetic keyboard, probably the worst one, and after that some other, so, thats the problem.
can i use v1 or v2 for this?

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum!
Are you really referring to keyboards, or just keys?
Code: Select all
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
ih := InputHook('V')
ih.KeyOpt('{All}', 'S')
ih.KeyOpt('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{LShift}{RShift}', '-S')
ih.Start
Well, I don't know, but this seems like a pretty tough way to write poetry. On the other hand, I'm not a poet!

I think you can just add them to the list that Mike already made... Like this:
Code: Select all
ih.KeyOpt('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{LShift}{RShift}{Space}?{,}öüóéáűíú.', '-S')
I think braces need to go around the comma
{,} but I'm not sure. Try it and see if it works.
Here is the help section:
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/InputHook.htm#KeyOpt
EDIT: I tried it, and the comma does work. Here, I added
Ctrl and
Esc, to make it easier to end the script if you need to. Also
Enter, so you can make new paragraphs. LOL. You can add/remove different keys that you need/don't need.
Code: Select all
#SingleInstance
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
ih := InputHook('V')
ih.KeyOpt('{All}', 'S')
ih.KeyOpt('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{LShift}{RShift}{Space}{Enter}{Ctrl}{Esc}?{,}öüóéáűíú.', '-S')
ih.Start
^Esc::ExitApp ; Ctrl+Esc exits script

Try it without braces because there is no reason for them around the comma. They are extraneous in that case.

This is odd... Do the other accented characters
öüóéáűú work?

Sorry, I don't know why it's not working... I can't test it, because I only have an English setup.

Strange behavior of "Enter" with inputHooks.

Very strange... I tried the code and Enter doesn't work for me either. On a related note: Check out the code here:
viewtopic.php?p=564175#p564135
Enter also doesn't work as expected with that inputHook code.
It makes me think I'm doing the code wrong(???) I checked the documentation, and I does appear right. It's just
{Enter}. Also interesting, is that one of the examples at the bottom of the docs/help page has Enter as an end key, and that code does work. So I don't know what the problem is. I'm going to experiment more.
Edit: An interesting test...
Try this code:
Code: Select all
#SingleInstance
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
^Esc::ExitApp ; Ctrl+Esc to Exit.
Loop 100 ; <-- Arbitrary value so it doesn't loop forever.
{
ih := InputHook("L1")
ih.Start()
ih.Wait()
tooltip(myStr .= ih.Input)
}
As you type characters, they get added to the
ToolTip. Note that they appear in the tooltip the instant that they are typed. However
Enter is an exception, which only appears after an addition character is typed. (Note also that you can't actually "see" the word Enter. You know it is there, however, because the tooltip gets taller.) edit: Actually... As I think more, the behavior with the tooltip probably makes sense. The enter character puts in a vertical space, but the next line of text doesn't actually exist until you add an additional character. Maybe(?)
EDIT again:
With the below code, Enter is working as expected. Type some characters, then 'space' or one of the other end keys.
Code: Select all
#SingleInstance
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
;===================
!+i:: ; alt shift i
{
ih := InputHook(,"{Space}{Tab}{Enter}{Esc}")
ih.Start()
ih.Wait()
ih.OnChar := charFunc()
ih.OnEnd := endFunc()
charFunc(*)
{ Global myStr .= ih.Input
}
endFunc(*)
{ msgbox('input:`t' myStr '`nendkey:`t' ih.EndKey)
}
}
^Esc:: ExitApp()

I dont mind, if it works that way, what your first script showed me. Its ok. But how can i write it to the "alphabet script"? (sorry im not an expert in this matter, and my english not perfect too)

I guess you could try making those keys "visible" along with Enter. In the bugs forum, lexikos has recently posted about the real nature of the issue having to do with how the InputHook handles VK and SC keys.
