If you like to launch a game that has uncomfortable key combination, can you use AutoIt to map better keys just for that game without affecting the entire system?
For the sake of example, let's say your game's executable is notepad.exe and you'd like the letter / to actually type \, but only inside Notepad.

Hi AutoIt Programmers!, I just looking for a way to change entered keys in English to Russian keys and reverse, i must clear for you to understand. For example:
 
I write keys on keyboard and i forgot to change input language and then the result will be: Dkflbvbh (Thing we write in fact) ====> Владимир (Thing we want)
 
And reverse: Владимир  ====> Dkflbvbh

Is there any solution without writing constant for each words? for example dlls or WinAPIs.

Hello,
i searched the forum for something near, but with no success...
I have Combobox control with $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style with some items (for example (one, two, nine).
When i want to select the item, using keyboard, the items are selected only on First letter base (for example when i type "on", Nine is selected).
Is there some trick to force the combobox with $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style to accept more than the First letter during selecting the items from the list?
Mi wanted result is the same as for example - when you type "fir" on the desktop, Firefox is automatically selected.
Thank you so much.

Hi All,
I've bought a Ergodox EZ programmable keyboard with layers of key maps (eg, layer 0 = dvorak, layer 1 = numberpad & nav, layer 2 = qwerty, etc), I've also got a small USB screen that can pull information from the registry. What I would like to determine is a way to pull the value of each current key from the keyboard, I can then write the values to the registry and pull them into my USB screen so I can see the keyboard key layout.
I'm stuck with retrieving the key values, I've looked at _IsPressed(), _WinAPI_GetKeyState(), _WinAPI_GetKeyboardState(), _WinAPI_GetKeyboardType(), _WinAPI_GetKeyNameText(), but none of them appear to be able to pull the keyboard key values without user interaction.
The idea being, in pseudo code, bear in mind no error checking etc in this code, "GetKeyValue()" is what I'm needing help with and is a made up function, as is "HardwareKey1" etc:
$keyOnePrev = "" $numOfKeys = 76 While 1 $keyOneCurrent = GetKeyValue(HardwareKey1) If $keyOneCurrent <> $keyOnePrev Then For $key = 1 To $numOfKeys $keyToWrite = GetKeyValue(HardwareKey & $key) RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\myKeyboard", "key" & $key, "REG_SZ", $keyToWrite) Next EndIf $keyOnePrev = $keyOneCurrent Sleep(5000) WEnd Thanks guys!
