miketh2005 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) HotKeySet("+", "ticket") HotKeySet("{TAB}", "arrest") While 1 = 1 WEnd Func ticket() MouseClick("left") Send("{TAB}") Send("{TAB}") EndFunc ;==>ticket Func arrest() Send("{TAB}") Send("{ENTER}") EndFunc ;==>arrest I have this code and it's just not working at all, but if I replace tab and shift with 1 and 2, then it works. Why? Thanks! Edited October 1, 2010 by miketh2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 The shift key can not be used as a hotkey, it's not allowed and/or seen by the program. As to your Tab key not working, not a good idea to use an unmodified key like Tab for a hotkey, and then use it as a key to be sent, I'm sure it's going to screw something up. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I'm trying to make a process faster, and EVERY SECOND COUNTS, literally with this process, so I can't be using combination keys like Shift + 1 etc. its simply not fast enough. I tried using 1 and 2 as hotkeys, but the buttons simply aren't big enough on my keyboard, so sometimes in the heat of the moment when I'm hurrying fast, I press the wrong button, for example I press 2, when I meant to press 1 and then its done for me. Any suggestions, or do I just have to make due with "`" and "1"?What about the ctrl or alt key? Edited October 1, 2010 by miketh2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nf67 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Personally I always use the Home, Page up or Page down key. They allow for quick access and they don't get much use anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2005 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Thanks for the thought. They would be too far away from the letters, and since every millisecond counts, it wouldn't be viable. I am using "Esc" and "F2" keys now, which are doing quit well Thanks. You can close if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
