HOTKEY BLOCK LETTERS

[Melque_Lima]

hi guys, i've created an hotkey event with all letters in keyboard, but i noticed that it disable the letters to be used in others aplications like notepad, how do i create hotkey without block the keys?

Global $keys = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz _ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
For $_ = 1 To StringLen($keys)
    HotKeySet( StringMid($keys,$_,1), 'keypress_letter')
Next

Melque_Lima,

Please read this announcement before you post again in this thread so you are quite clear about what is and what is not permitted here. I am not suggesting that you are doing anything wrong, but experience has shown that setting all keys to HotKeys ends up in a keylogger equivalent.

HotKeys are set at system level, so if your script registers the particular key sequence (or in your case the key itself) before another application runs it will block that sequence - as you have found. if you only want the keys to be trapped when the AutoIt GUI is active, then look at GUISetAccelerators in the Help file.

@Melque_Lima Based on your post on the FB forum I am willing to posit you're trying to do something against the rules. I will reiterate what I stated there just so we're clear; the same rules apply on both the main and sub forums. We will not tolerate questions regarding keylogging; it is a great way to find yourself removed from both forums. You are officially skating on thin ice.
