HotKeySet() and Send() keyboard map f**kup

[Neocortex]

Hi!

If i execute insert() by the Hotkey (Ctrl+B ) it fuck up the whole keyboard map, buttons send mouse clicks and so. (Ctrl+C fix it but its not acceptable for my purposes {Send(^c) doesn't fix the problem btw})

HotKeySet("^b", "insert")
func insert()
Send("kurva anyad bbd dsa")
endfunc
while 1
sleep(100)
wend

It only occur if there is a "b" character in the string, i guess it retrigger the HotKeySet. So i tried to temporary disable the hotkeyset like this:

HotKeySet("^b", "insert")
func insert()
HotKeySet("^b") ;unset
Send("kurva anyad bbd dsa")
HotKeySet("^b", "insert") ;reset
endfunc
while 1
sleep(100)
wend

Still no luck

Maybe try with _IsPressed($Key) function?

Look here.

I've had a similar problem. but unfortunately cannot remember how I solved it.

If my memory serves it was something to do with sticky keys, it might have been a solution to send an extra ctrlup key, but cannot be certain.

True, Ctrl itself fixes it. But i cannot make it work with Send(). Tried "{LCTRL}{RCTRL}{CTRL}^".

Thanks, but i need a button combination :/ It's way too hard to push both of them in the same microsecond It would be possible with an _IsKeyDown() like function. Edited August 31, 2011 by Lazarushun

Did you try

Send("{CTRLUP}")

[Neocortex]

yes :/

HotKeySet("^b", "insert")
func insert()
HotKeySet("^b") ;unset
Send("kurva anyad bbd dsa")
sleep(800) ; wait for real Ctrl up
Send("^{LCTRL}{RCTRL}{CTRL}{CTRLUP}") ; simulate Ctrl
HotKeySet("^b", "insert") ;reset
endfunc
while 1
sleep(100)
wend

Same problem

Did you try something like

#Include <Misc.au3>
While 1
 Sleep(10)
 If _IsPressed("11") And _IsPressed("42") Then
  insert()
 EndIf
WEnd
Func insert()
 Send("it worked")
EndFunc   ;==>insert

I tried and it worked. The only thing is as long as those 2 keys are pressed it will keep sending, but they don't need to be pressed at the exact same time just as long as at some point they are down together.

I've solved the 'stuck key' issue, well, my 'stuck key' issue, with code like this

Send("{CTRLDOWN}")

Sleep(10)

Send("{CTRLUP}")

The issue came about due to my script waiting for a manual ctrl-c

If ClipGet() <> "" Then

and one of the things after it had to do then was Send("{TAB}")

Because the Send function saw the ctrl key still being held down, the 'stuck key' issue arose. The 'stuck key' was the ctrl key.

Thanks somdcomputerguy!
