Hey, I often find myself changing computers nowadays and I'm sick and tired of changing my keyboard format to Dvorak ( Because I don't use QWERTY )...

I made a post on another forum, and they said that AutoIt would be able to get keys to be formatted differently ( Changing keys to different send keys )...

I went with it, found that it worked beautifully ( and was very easy )... It all now works beautifully, but with one problem...

The way I found easiest to make it work was to simply hotkey every key that changes from Qwerty - Dvorak, and then hotkey the key in Qwerty and just send a Dvorak alternative key... The problem I'm having now is that when I capitalize sometimes, the shift gets "stuck" and windows still thinks the shift key is clicked for some odd reason... It will un-stuck once I press either of the shift buttons, but it is something I'd like to fix ( if at all possible :unsure: )...

Anyway, here is essentially what I did...

HotKeySet("b","bPressed")

Func bPressed()
HotKeySet("x")
Send("x")
HotKeySet("x","xPressed")
EndFunc

HotKeySet("B","cbPressed")

Func cbPressed()
HotKeySet("X")
Send("X",1)
HotKeySet("X","cxPressed")
EndFunc

-- The Send("X",1) is 1 because I tried to de-bug it and just left it when I figured out it didn't work... If that is problematic, please tell me :D. --

Since B-Qwerty = X-Dvorak, the function name at the bottom is cbPressed because it is capital B pressed... I can post the full code, but it is 400~ lines long and is too bulky for me to post... It is essentially the same thing as above...

P.S. The Send() function... Is there any alternative in other languages? I would very much like to just implement this in a language I am familiar with, but most other functions don't seem to work as well as this one does... Same goes for HotKeySet() :P. [ I am familiar with c/c++, VB.NET, Delphi ( pascal ) and VC++.NET ( I count it as VERY different from C++ personally >.>... ) ]

Thanks for your time,

This might help.

I've ran into another small problem...

It seems, for some reason, that I can't get '{', '}' and '+' to work right... Here is what I did, anyone know why it isn't working? O-o

chr(124) being '}', chr(123) being '{', chr(43) being "+"

When I press +, it doesn't even open up the messageboxes... Which is odd because without using any shift/capitalization, they all are the perfectly correct keys. So, [] and = work fine but {} and + are completely not working... Does anyone know why?

HotKeySet(chr(123),"cfbrPressed")
HotKeySet(chr(43),"ceqlPressed")
HotKeySet(chr(124),"cbbrPressed")

Func cbbrPressed()
MsgBox(0, "bbr", "Indeed")
HotKeySet(chr(43))
SendEx(chr(43))
HotKeySet(chr(43),"ceqlPressed")
EndFunc

Func ceqlPressed()
MsgBox(0, "eql", "Indeed")
HotKeySet(chr(124))
SendEx(chr(124))
HotKeySet(chr(124),"cbbrPressed")
EndFunc

Func cfbrPressed()
MsgBox(0, "fbr", "Indeed")
HotKeySet(chr(63))
SendEx(chr(63))
HotKeySet(chr(63),"cfslPressed")
EndFunc

The function posted worked great up until this by the way martin... Thanks :P.

Look in the help. The hot key for '{' is '{{}' not chr(123), then '{}}' and '{+}'

Actually this keys always posted in combination with the shift key so it:

HotKeySet('+[', "cfbrPressed")
HotKeySet('{+}', "ceqlPressed")
HotKeySet('+]', "cbbrPressed")
It might be used with shift but '{{}' and '{}}' work for me and that is also what the help says. Maybe with some keyboards the shift isn't used.
