Media Next and Home Key Win 11

[ejbones]

Hey all,
I had this code working for windows 10, but after upgrading to Windows 11, I'm getting the error

Error at Line 10.
Line Text: Media_Prev} :: Send {Home}
Error: Invalid hotkey.

Hopefully this is something simple and syntax related; not compatibility? It's a Lenovo Yoga c940-15 laptop.

Thanks for any pointers

If that’s really reflecting the code, I don’t think it would have worked on Windows 10 either. Looks like you have a stray brace before the ::

Forgot the code snippet:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

^q:: ; ctrl q will send alt-f4
Send !{f4}
return

{Media_Prev} :: Send {Home}
return

{Media_Next}:: Send {End}
return

[Mod edit: Changed quote tags to [code][/code] tags.]

OK, so you didn’t have one stray brace. You had two. You don’t put braces around the key name for a hotkey label. Again, that wouldn’t have worked on Windows 10 either.

Also:

There must not be a space between the key name and ::.

When you place a command on the same line as the hotkey label, it becomes a single-line hotkey. A return is implied after the hotkey's action (Send), so the return you have in the code above does nothing.

Code: Select all

Media_Prev:: Send {Home}
Media_Next:: Send {End}

Thank you all. So do I not need a return at all?

See working script

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

^q:: Send !{f4}; ctrl q will send alt-f4

Media_Prev:: Send {Home}

Media_Next:: Send {End}

[Mod edit: [code][/code] tags added, quote tags were replaced.]

@ejbones: Please use code tags instead of quote tags, when posting code.
In the full editor, it's the fifth button from the left (eitner labeled 'code' or '</>'). Thank you!

Not for single-line hotkeys, as lexikos pointed out.

Thanks for helping a newbie out all
