Set Hotkey on 2 specific button

[Unc3nZureD]

Theese two letters are Hungarian characters (at least we are using this too, idk about others). 1st is lower case, meanwhile 2nd is uppercase I tried to set hotkeys on them, but I've got no idea why it fails. Here's my code:

#RequireAdmin

HotKeySet(Chr(205), "Hey")
HotKeySet(Chr(237), "Hey")
MsgBox(0,"", "asd")
While 1
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func Hey()
    MsgBox(0, "", "Pressed")
EndFunc

Of course I tried to change Chr() to native "í" and "Í", but it still doesn't work. Any idea what could cause the problem? Every other similar buttons are working like ó, ü, ű and all their capslockeed version.

Try

HotKeySet("+" & Chr(205), "Hey")

It does nothing too :/

( I tried pressing Shift+í )

Try this:

HotKeySet("+{ASC 205}", "Hey")

or

HotKeySet("{SHIFTDOWN}{ASC 205}{SHIFTUP}", "Hey")

Nope, none works. Really interesting... I mean all the other buttons of my keyboards works as a hotkey, but this one isn't.

Silly question,

is Send("í") working to a Notepad for instance?

What is your Windows version ?

Do you have Standard Windows ? or you have Windows "rebranded" by Dell , Lenovo, or other manufacturer ?

Did you try your code on several different computers with different Windows version ?

I had some issue with language displaying.

As intrigued me your problem I decided to check for Polish diacritics.

I do some test:

expandcollapse popup

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", -2);1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase

#Region Polish diacritics
HotKeySet('ą', "Hey") ; hotkey work well,
HotKeySet('ć', "Hey") ; hotkey work well,
HotKeySet('ę', "Hey") ; hotkey work well,
HotKeySet('ł', "Hey") ; hotkey work well,
HotKeySet('ń', "Hey") ; hotkey work well,
HotKeySet('ó', "Hey") ; hotkey work well,
HotKeySet('ś', "Hey") ; hotkey work well,
HotKeySet('ż', "Hey") ; hotkey work well,
HotKeySet('ź', "Hey") ; hotkey work well,
#EndRegion Polish diacritics

HotKeySet('í', "Hey")
HotKeySet(Chr(205), "Hey")

MsgBox(0, Chr(205), Asc('í'))

Run('Notepad')
Local $hNotepad = WinWait('[Class:Notepad]')

#Region testing
SendKeepActive($hNotepad)
Send('í') ; hotkey do not work, but char is sent to notepad
Send('ą') ; hotkey work well, but char is not sent to notepad
Send(Chr(205)) ; hotkey do not work, but char is sent to notepad
SendKeepActive('')
#EndRegion testing

Local $sLastHotKey =''
While 1
    Sleep(250)
    if $sLastHotKey <> @HotKeyPressed Then
        $sLastHotKey = @HotKeyPressed
        ConsoleWrite('$sLastHotKey = ' & $sLastHotKey & @CRLF)
    EndIf
WEnd

Func Hey()
    MsgBox(0, "", "Pressed")
EndFunc   ;==>Hey

EDIT: test script - added - @HotKeyPressed and $sLastHotKey

May I ask which keyboard layout and locale you are using?

[mLipok]

you are asking me or Unc3nZureD ?

[jchd]

Sorry, my questions were to Unc3nZureD since he's experiencing the issue.

I'm guessing Hungarian 105-key and ANSI 1250 but better check these points.

[jpm]

Perhaps "+<" is the solution for hugarian keyboard ...

I wonder what the Au3Recorder shows when you press those keys. You could capture that and plug that in to see if that fixes it.

[Unc3nZureD]

I'm not sure what my keyboard is, but @KBLayout says: 0000040E. I'm using a laptop and original (not modified by dell etc) windows 8.1.

au3recorder can record it. I've got no idea how

I imagine recorder logs a hardware keycode while Hotkeyset uses a virtual keycode.

Of course I'm probably wrong,

As I see, it's not even an autoit script
