GetKeyState functionality not working Version 1.1.30.03

[GusNoFear-]

I've spend so many hours today finding out how getkeystate() works. I've finished writing the following piece of code to simulate Ctrl + Shift + {right or left}.

Code: Select all

#If GetKeyState("Alt", "P")
~Capslock & [::
    SendInput, +^{Left}
    Sleep, 50
Return

~Capslock & ]::
    SendInput, +^{Right}
    Sleep, 50
Return
#If

The goal of this script would be to highlight the upcoming or preceding words in a text editor. My code highlights the upcoming words but not the preceding words. Any helpful tips are greatly appreciated.

This worked for me:

Code: Select all

#If GetKeyState("Alt", "P") && GetKeyState("CapsLock", "P")
;~Capslock & [::
*[::
    SendInput, +^{Left}
    Sleep, 50
Return

;~Capslock & ]::
*]::
    SendInput, +^{Right}
    Sleep, 50
Return
#If

I just grabbed your code and added it to a blank ahk file; running it by itself, the code works as you explained.

Do you have any other codes that could be conflicting?

This code doesn't do anything on my end. I think it's something with my computer because the getkeystate doesn't always work. I've tried it in other keys.

You should update to v1.1.31.00. I don't think I've fixed anything specifically relating to your issue, but there were a bunch of bug fixes relating to hotkeys.
