Script only works sometimes: Formatting text in Evernote Topic is solved

[Stephan87]

Hi,

I want to achieve that the current date is entered into my Evernote note in bold and highlighted text. For that I send STRG+b (for making it bold), then I send STRG+Shift+H (for Highlighting), then the date.

This is my script:

Code: Select all

F11::
Send ^b
Send ^+h
FormatTime, datum,, dd.MM.yyyy
SendInput, %datum%
Send ^b
Send ^+h
return

It works - sometimes. This is how the output looks if I press F11 a couple of times (I add line breaks between manually):



Its strange, I absolutely cannot explain to me what happens there...

Thank you.

If Evernote is slow, then you might need to slow down your script, add Sleep, etc.

Explained: SetKeyDelay

This sounds very reasonable. Thank you! I will try it. My Evernote is very slow because I am on a very slow computer.

And it might help if you send your key presses like this:

Code: Select all

Send {Ctrl down}b{Ctrl up}
Send {Ctrl down}{Shift down}h{Shift up{Ctrl up}

And experiment with different settings of SetKeyDelay. (edit: as mikeyww suggested)

Works flawless now! Thank you!
