When WindowTop Dark mode is enabled, Autohotkey shortcuts don't respond

Post by davidhj » 02 Dec 2022, 09:11

Windows 10 19045.2251
Autohotkey 1.1.34.04
Windowtop 5.19.1.0

When I enable Dark mode for Excel, the autohotkey shortcutes in that window don't work.
A example script:

Code: Select all

#ifwinactive ahk_exe excel.exe
![::send, ^c    ; for copy
!]::send, ^v    ; for paste

It could be an elevated window. You could try UI Access. Remove your #If directive while you test. Some windows may also prohibit copying, or may have different ways to copy.
