I tried to use just two arrays, but the special case of the semicolon key force me to make another two, to keep the code simple and neat. Obviously, it is still too complicated than the AutoHotkey approach. Maybe AutoIt is not suitable for keyboard remapping. Never mind, hope the script useful to someone interested.

Thanks for pointing out. Apparently, new user cannot change the display name for a period of time after registering. This is resourceful! I'm sure I can turn it into a Colemak <-> QWERTY script. Once done, I will upload here. Thank you very much!

Since I see nobody replies, let me summarize my question: is there a way in AutoIt to achieve keyboard remapping, as AutoHotkey does in http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Remap.htm? I want to try AutoIt because I think AutoHotkey cannot do a perfect job. Thanks!

Hello everyone. I am a new user of AutoIt, and I want to use it to remap my keyboard. I am a Colemak Keyboard Layout user, and enjoyed it for several years. However, it is still needed to prepare a Colemak -> QWERTY script in case other people want to use my computer, enter password, etc. Colemak official website has a AutoHotkey ahk script to do so, and works neatly in general case. Unfortunately I find that AutoHotkey would occasionally fail to block the source key, thus send out both the source key and target key in my key press. Moreover, the remapped key are often "sticked", meaning even I have released the source key, the target key is still in "key down" state. Therefore I want to give a try on AutoIt. The requirement is simple: for a set of "source" keys and "target" keys, once the source key is down or up, the system receive the key down and key up event of the corresponding target key, not the source key. The remapping should be in low level, so that even modifier keys are combined, it still works. Below is the example AutoHotkey script. After running the script, whenever the user press the "f" key in the keyboard, the system gets "e". When shift+f, it is remapped to shift+e. Circular remapping should be avoided, thus the f -> e -> k -> n -> ... chain must NOT occur. #SingleInstance force #NoEnv SendMode Input SetTitleMatchMode 3 f::e p::r g::t j::y l::u u::i y::o `;'::' r::s s::d t::f d::g n::j e::k i::l o::` k::n I did some research before posting this thread. In the forum, the most similar request I found is Keymapping (*NOT* logging), but it seems no complete solution is given and the scripts are huge. I also tried the "HotKeySet" function and HotKey.au3 script, but they require the modifier keys be explicitly hard coded, therefore have to write a function for each combination of modifier keys. Is there a existing solution for keyboard remapping with AutoIt? Thank you for your help! P.S. Is there a way to change my display name in the forum, not the user name? Is it limited? I see a "Display name history" in the control panel, indicating the possibility. Thanks!
