hotstrings not working using touch keyboard Topic is solved
Re: hotstrings not working using touch keyboard Topic is solved
I guess the reason (and possibly the solution) is mentioned in the Remarks section of hotstrings docs:
Edit:
Even without the #Hotstring NoMouse directive, the Win10 OSK works for me (clicking the hotstring text with my mouse); the hotstring still replaces the typed text.
Perhaps there is a permissions issue - did you try to run your script as admin?
But not sure, if these touches will will be registered as mouse clicks, and are the reason - I can't test it, I have neither a Windows touchpad, nor Win11.https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotstrings.htm#remarks wrote:By default, any click of the left or right mouse button will reset the hotstring recognizer. In other words, the script will begin waiting for an entirely new hotstring, eliminating from consideration anything you previously typed (if this is undesirable, specify the line #Hotstring NoMouse anywhere in the script).
