Input ignore SendInput Topic is solved

[Moderator's note: Topic moved from Bug Reports.]

Per Input:

However, the SendInput and SendPlay methods are always ignored

Is it really true? In the following script, SendInput does not seem to be ignored.

Code: Select all

#Persistent
SetTimer, Go, -200
SoundBeep, 1500
Input, key, L1
MsgBox, #%key%#
Return
Go:
SendInput i123
Return

Do you have other scripts running? Because this happens quite often: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Send.htm#SendInputUnavail
I always use SendEvent because I can't trust SendInput.
(To be exact, SendEvent using the revert settings that are described in the same link.)

safetycar, you were right; I did not think of the potential for the reversion. Thanks! Solved.
