not work when !]:: Send("^{Insert}a") Topic is solved

[ZhuangQu]

Code: Select all

!]:: Send("^{Insert}a")

When pressing Alt+] we expect it to copy and type "a", but "a" is not typed as expected (select all instead).

For comparison, the following code works fine when pressing Shift+]

Code: Select all

+]:: Send("^{Insert}a")

My version is 2.0.10

When pressing Alt+] we expect it to copy and type "a", but "a" is not typed as expected (select all instead).

Is this behaviour consistent between left Alt and right Alt? I have a suspicion it's AltGr issue.

Thank you for your insight! This bug only occurs at the right Alt.

I am dubious. The hotkey !]:: would not execute if you held AltGr, because the system treats AltGr as Alt+Ctrl. Pressing AltGr+] would have the same effect as without the script, which is not to select all. On the US International layout, it is to produce ». Even !»:: doesn't execute if I press AltGr+], although ^»:: does.

Can you reproduce this bug on the right Alt? The left Alt is fine.

Alt and AltGr are not the same thing. AltGr is always on the right.

What keyboard layout are you using?

I'm in China and I use US keyboard layout, so I don't have the AltGr key. When executing

Code: Select all

!]:: Send("^{Insert}a")

my AutoHotkey history is

Code: Select all

A5  138	 	d	3.50	RAlt           	
DD  01B	 	d	0.31	]              	
A2  01D	i	d	0.00	LControl       	
A5  138	i	u	0.00	RAlt           	
2D  152	i	d	0.00	Insert         	
2D  152	i	u	0.00	Insert

41  01E	i	u	0.00	a              	
11  01D	i	d	0.00	Control

DD  01B	 	u	0.09	]              	
A5  138	 	u	0.03	RAlt           	

There's no AltGr.

Fixed by v2.0.12.

@ZhuangQu it would have been helpful to say that when mcl first brought up AltGr.
