Section sign (§) hotkey not working

[HefaistoS]

Hi guys!

I want to map some action to the § key (Section sign key) from my keyboard. I just want to use it as a hotkey.
Let's just take a simple example like this one:

§::6

- have saved it as UTF-8-BOM and it doesn't work

6::§

- this one works. when i press "6" it will write "§"

Hope somebody can help me with this one

What means doesn't work? Doesn't work at all or doesn't do what you want?

Your keyboard layout may be different than mine, but the effect should be comparable:
§::6 produces & on my keyboard layout. To get §, I have to type Shift+3, but & is Shift+6 - that means Shift doesn't get released. Why is that?

Try:

Code: Select all

§::Send 6

This is now a hotkey. Before you had a remapping:

[...] a remapping never "releases" the modifier keys which are used to trigger it. For example, A::b is typically equivalent to A::B and ^a::b is equivalent to ^a::^b. This is because each remapping internally uses {Blind} to allow the key or key combination to be combined with other modifiers.

HI!
On my keyboard layout i have a key that when i pressed produces: § .
I want to use this key to open a program/do something, doesn't matter explicitly.
So i've tried to use (with the purpose of testing) it in order to produce a number ( number 6 - as the example above). But it doesn't work. Nothing happens when i press §.

You can install KeyBoardHook to see how the script detects the key and then use this value to create the hotkey
