LotBlind Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hi! I'm trying to use a keyboard input visualizer to show which keys I'm pressing when I'm playing a game in DOSBox. Problem is, when DOSBox is focused, it "steals" the inputs all for itself and so the visualizer can't see them. I couldn't really see this in the FAQ or search but I wonder if anyone could tell me whether AutoIT can provide a solution at all? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotBlind Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 I did read the rules... " Launching, automation or script interaction with games or game servers, regardless of the game. " Doesn't sound like what I'm doing. Besides, this could easily come up in a non-gaming context. In fact I know running a Unity program seems to run into the same issue.
