AasimPathan Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Hi, We have a AutoIt shortcut script with the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT Key as the hotkey with multiple shortcuts e.g. CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+r launches on of our programs. We have an issue where even though Sticky Keys is disabled in windows the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT are still being "stuck" or acting as if Sticky Key is enabled, I need to know if someone is facing similar problem and ways to avoid it because right now our users are facing problems typing anything after using a shortcut as the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT key is locked. Oh another note, we are using ConnectWise ScreenConnect for remoting in to the Windows 10 machine, Sticky Keys are disabled on both my local machine and the remote one where the shortcuts run. I can see the keys are being held down using on-screen Keyboard and to unstick them we have to press the same combination for a second time. Also this only happens when the AutoIt script is running, if its not running no matter how many times I press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+r the keyboard doesn't get stuck/ held down.

AasimPathan Posted November 27, 2020 Author Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Hi that kind of helps but I need to send things in RAW format cause one of of my shortcuts has a text to send which includes # so if use _SendEx("#[This is a test message]",1) it doesn't send the #, which is kind of important to us. Also, the below didn't help with getting the keys unstuck unless I am using it wrong ControlSend("", "", "", "text", 0) Edited November 27, 2020 by AasimPathan

Here is an example : #include <AutoItConstants.au3> #include <Misc.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> _SendExFlag("#[This is a test message]", "", $SEND_RAW) Func _SendExFlag($ss, $warn = "", $iFlag = 0) ; <========== Local $iT = TimerInit() While _IsPressed("10") Or _IsPressed("11") Or _IsPressed("12") If $warn <> "" And TimerDiff($iT) > 1000 Then MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "Warning", $warn) EndIf Sleep(50) WEnd Send($ss, $iFlag) ; <========== EndFunc;==>_SendExFlag "I think you are searching a bug where there is no bug... don't listen to bad advice."
