Ctrl+c in script screwed up by hotkeys with modifiers?

[Guy_]

It seems that most of the time functions seem to screw up when I call them using a hotkey with a modifier in it [e.g. HotKeySet("!&", "goCopy") ] if it pretty immediately has to execute a Send("^c") in it.

The ^c may be confused by these keys that are still pushed down, I guess?

Is there a basic knowledge or technique I should already know to prevent this, please?

Hi,

Maybe because you need to release the keys you are pressing for the HotKey, check if these keys are pressed with the function _IsPressed.

Yes, do not use hotkeys that are already in use.

I have it with many combinations, so I don't think it's because some of them are in use by something.

Things just go too quickly to not have part of the hotkey pressed in time probably...

Thanks Firefox, I will try that function.

If I understand the manual, I need

#include <Misc.au3>
Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

because I would need its use every few seconds.

I guess I include this at the top of everything.

The manual talks about having to close the function with DllClose($hDLL)

Do I do this closing only when quitting my program or at the end of my main (copying) function called by the hotkey?

I then would like to try it like this:

While _IsPressed("12", $hDLL) Or _IsPressed("31", $hDLL) etc.

Sleep(100)

WEnd

Again, I see no info for Azerty keyboards...

Would "31 for 1 key" be the same as for my "& 1 |" key? [ok, I can test that]

I then would like to try for just the Alt key with:

While _IsPressed("12", $hDLL)

Sleep(100)

WEnd

OTOH, it's probably more logical if I check for ALL keys?

While _IsPressed("12", $hDLL) Or _IsPressed("31", $hDLL) etc.

You're right, well done.

Would "31 for 1 key" be the same as for my "& 1 |" key?

Yes, this is the same, there is no difference.

It's working well.

Except, the same 1 key without modifier is also a hotkey, so if you release the modifier more quickly than the 1 key, the other hotkey starts triggering...

I guess that won't happen much, but could I still protect against that? (without having to assign variables, which I probably could; making it that just 1 function at a time can be active)

I guess I could figure something out, but maybe there's already a built-in trick
