breaking keys...

[Influx]

It seems that when i set a large number of hot keys, some keys break until i lock my pc (win + l) then unlock

for example caps lock will be reversed or ctrl will get stuck down.

any way around this.

(This also happens when certain scripts don't exit correctly)

(I doubt this is of any use at all, but i know it happens every time i process kill an app made in AutoHotKey)

Afraid i dont know about this : /

Maybe you should look into the _IsPressed function. This way it doesnt lock the key.

yeah, you could try adlib along with _ispressed to do the same thing as hotkeyset.

Here's an example:

#include <Misc.au3>
AdlibEnable("CheckHotKeys", 75)

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func CheckHotKeys()
    If _IsPressed("14") Then CapsLockFunction()
EndFunc

Func CapsLockFunction()
    MsgBox(0, "", "Caps Lock Pressed")
EndFunc

I only recommend using this on keys that are causing you a problem such as CTL and Caps Lock as you mentioned.

For everything else you should continue to use HotKeySet()

The issue is key combos like CTRL+A CTRL+V SHIFT+A SHIFT + will cause this and lock the key down. Is there any way to check if ctrl, and shift are on and maybe send a command to "lift" the key(but only if the script has locked it, not if its held down by the user

Not that I know of, I honestly have never heard of this problem before.

You sound try Send("{SHIFTUP}") or Send("{CTRLUP}")

You should also check windows make sure stickykeys keys hasn't kicked in.

When you lock and unlock your machine is the script running the whole time or do you start your script again after unlocking the machine?

I have to turn it off then lock then restart the script.

Look at my last post here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=85080

Sounds like the same thing.

Nice.

However this is not ideal because the letters dont show up untill after the user releases the keys.

And if the user insists on holding down shift and beating the keys the still send and cause an even bigger error.

so now my question is there maybe some low level dll to send keys with? ne that would simply accept the keystoke as-is and send it.

Is there anyway to say if the key is down to actually send the key up and hold it up until the key stroke is sent?(even if user is holding it down?

PleasE?
