Windows 11 multi-clipboard paste not working with AHK on

[kboom]

Hello,

I'm using the following AHK script to replace left ctrl and windows keys on my keyboard.

Code: Select all

; If the script is not elevated, relaunch as administrator and kill current instance:

full_command_line := DllCall("GetCommandLine", "str")

if not (A_IsAdmin or RegExMatch(full_command_line, " /restart(?!\S)"))
{
    try ; leads to having the script re-launching itself as administrator
    {
        if A_IsCompiled
            Run *RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%" /restart
        else
            Run *RunAs "%A_AhkPath%" /restart "%A_ScriptFullPath%"
    }
    ExitApp
}

LWin::LCtrl
LCtrl::LWin
RWin::RAlt
MButton::#Tab
WheelLeft::#^Left
WheelRight::#^Right

Works fine, but windows multi-clipboard won't paste any of the items with this on. If it's off, it works fine.
I suspect this clipboard might be invoking the now-remapped keys to do this. Perhaps it would help to make an exclusion here somehow, that if the action is coming from windows clipboard, then don't apply this mapping?
But how to do this?

Sorry, I don't understand where the clipboard is involved
Do you mean, you cant use the clipboard at all, when this script is running?

Edit: Oh, I just saw it's about Windows 11, is this W11 specific? I haven't even looked at that.

There is a multi-clipboard feature built in WIndows 11. I can't paste any item from it when AHK is running this script. Everything else is working fine.

It feels like the clipboard uses the key combination that AHK swapped so it's a no-op.
I don't know if there are any workarounds, but it is a great pain.

There is a multi-clipboard feature built in WIndows 11.

Btw, Windows 10 also has that feature. It is usually not enabled by default but is easily enabled in Settings.
