Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum!

Startup:

Code: Select all

Send {F3}
Alternatively, you might be able to set your BIOS to keep the backlight active.

thank you, I tried the script with

Code: Select all

Send {F3}
and create the shortcut in shell: startup, but it didn't work.

In the bios, however, there is no possibility to activate the backlight forever

I have never seen a system that uses F3 for backlighting, but Send always sends to the active window, so you would probably first want to activate the desktop, program manager, or something like that. If it's not a BIOS feature, then I wonder if the computer is running a separate software utility of some kind. If so, it would have to be running before you send your activation key. You might actually want to contact Huawei to ask how to do what you are trying to do, as they may have a quick solution.

Hi,

I need to activate a virtual desktop that contains a window to a remote desktop. Most of the times that remote desktop window is active, so every key I send with akh, goes to the remote desktop, but it needs to be send to the virtual desktop.

Can you help me out please, how can I activate a virtual desktop ? (I tried using click 0,0 because that us what I do by hand, but I want to automate it)

Your question has nothing to do with this thread, so I recommend starting a new one.
