missing first letter

[p3kautoit]

Hi,

I made a small script, but when I tried it, the first letter was sometimes missing.

Can somebody help, where is the problem. I have read that in older version was same problem.

Here is the script:

While 1

HotKeySet("!a", "admin")

WEnd

Func admin()

Sleep(500)

Send("admin")

EndFunc

Thank for your help.

first letter of what? Any way it works perfectly fine for me.

The only problem I see is HotKeySet should not be in the while loop:

HotKeySet("!a", "admin")

While 1
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

Func admin()
Sleep(500)
Send("admin")
EndFunc

also dropping letters can sometimes be fixed by wrapping the send in sleeps(250)

Sleep(250)

Send("Something")

Sleep(250)

I have corrected the script but still same problem.

The "a" letter is sometimes missing, when I try this shortcat in Notepad

HotKeySet("!a", "admin")

While 1

Sleep(50)

WEnd

Func admin()

Sleep(250)

Send("admin")

Sleep(250)

EndFunc

beside of using Send, you could try use ClipPut and and ClipGet.

I think it's because the hotkey you set is 'a' and one of the characters you are sending is also 'a'.

Try setting to a different hotkey key.

The problem is with different letter too.

I thing I have found the problem, but I don't know the solution.

The problem is because in the HotKeySet is ALT+a , and after pressing ALT+a and leave it, the ALT is rememberd for AutoIt as activ, and therfore don't write first letter.

It is sensitive how you press ALT+a (quickly, longer ...)

I have tried put Send("{ALTUP}") but it doesn't helped.

Have anybody any suggestion?

You could try this method.

#include <Misc.au3>

HotKeySet("!a", "admin")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func admin()
    While _IsPressed("12") Or _IsPressed("41") ; Alt + a
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
    Send("admin")
EndFunc ;==>admin

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc ;==>Terminate

The problem doesn't solved.

I will change the ALT to CTRL.

I've used before AHK (AutoHotKey) software, and there is working fine.

I think that it's problem AutoIt with "ALT"
