Help needed with ALTGr key press(with German keyboard)

[shaktiku1]

Hi ,

I am working to simulate/automate German keyboard(keyboad layout for reference) keys using Autoit.

To print char ~ , we need to press ALTGr key and + sign . To send this i am using below command

send("{CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}ß{CTRLUP}{ALTUP}")   ; to send

send("{ENTER}")

send("{CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}+{CTRLUP}{ALTUP}")    ; buggy line NOT Working - to send ~

send("{ENTER}")

send("{CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}q{CTRLUP}{ALTUP}")   ; to send @

 

 

Can you please help me how to send + using this command , i tried escape char but not working.

 

Or is there any other way to send ATLGr keys

 

Thanks in Advance!!

thanks Palestinian for the link. I am doing in the same way , but when autoit executes the line

 

send("{CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}+{CTRLUP}{ALTUP}")  

 

it doesn't print anything.

ShellExecute("Notepad.exe")
(WinWait("[class:Notepad]", "", 0) ? (WinActivate("[LAST]") ? WinWaitActive("[LAST]") : 0) : SetError(1, 0, 0))
Send("A tilde sign ~")
Send(@CRLF)
Send("20 tildes {~ 20}")
Send(@CRLF)
Send("Next might work only on German keyboards ???")
Send(@CRLF)
Send("using AltGr (same as Alt{+}Cntl) !^{+}")
Send(@CRLF)
Send("20 tildes !^{+ 20}")
Send(@CRLF)

Thank you Exit very much, it worked and yes it worked only with German keyboard only.

So final conclusion is to use { } brackets

send("{CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}{+}{CTRLUP}{ALTUP}")   or

 Send("!^{+}")
