HotKeySet closing brace

[geekyworld]

I have discovered an issue I wish to report. I don't know if it is a bug since I'm new to Autoit.
 
To declare braces as hotkeys "{{}" and "{}}" are used. The former works but "{}}" does not work. Instead "}" works.

Please run this:

HotKeySet( "{{}", "myfunc1" )
 
HotKeySet( "{}}", "myfunc2" )
 
 
while 1
sleep(100)
wend
 
 
func myfunc1()
msgbox( 0, "Test", "You pressed {{}" )
endfunc
 
func myfunc2()
msgbox( 0, "Test", "You pressed {}}" )
endfunc

myfunc2() does not fire. Instead if we replace "{}}" by "}", it fires.

E.g.

HotKeySet( "}", "myfunc2" )
 
 
while 1
sleep(100)
wend

 
func myfunc2()
msgbox( 0, "Test", "You pressed }" )
endfunc

This works.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

It looks like a bug. HotKeySet should use the same format as Send where it is necessary to enclose a "}" in a "{}" pair. I will raise a Trac ticket - thanks for reporting it.
