Strange, it doesn't seem to be mentioned here.

_ispressed('DE') is quote

[Exit]

_ispressed('DE')  does not work on German keyboards for quote.

This works on German keyboards.

#include <Misc.au3>
;~ _ispressed('DE')  does not work on German keyboards for quote.
;~ This works on German keyboards.
;~ Place the cursor after the #cs line, since the quote will be written there.
;~ Then press F5
;~ Press ESC to exit
Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    If _IsPressed("1B", $hDLL) Then ExitLoop
;~     If _IsPressed("BF", $hDLL) _
;~             Then Beep(1800, 200)          ; if CAPS LOCK, use _WinAPI_GetKeyState() to check keystate

If _IsPressed("BF", $hDLL) And _         ; the key with hash and quote
            _IsPressed("10", $hDLL) And _    ; a shift key is pressed
            (_IsPressed("A1", $hDLL) or _    ; if left shift key
            _IsPressed("A0", $hDLL))  _      ; if right shift key
            Then Beep(1800, 200)
WEnd

DllClose($hDLL)
Beep(800, 200)

#cs
    Place the cursor after this line, since the Quote will be written there.



#ce

Enjoy

Edit: Fixed issue with left shift key

Check for CAPS LOCK not fixed.

looks like "C0" to me, this works fine.

#include <Misc.au3>

While 3
    If _IsPressed("C0") Then
        MsgBox(0,0,0)
    EndIf
WEnd

[Exit]

Please specify keyboard language.

Not working here (italian keyboard)

this doesn't work:

_IsPressed("BF", $hDLL) And _IsPressed("10", $hDLL) And (_IsPressed("A1", $hDLL) Or _IsPressed("A0", $hDLL))

nor this:

_ispressed('DE')

and even this doesnt

_IsPressed("C0")

.....

Depends on the keyboard language, the key is VK_OEM_X

Example basend on the result of this thread:

 

VK_OEM_3 0xC0
Used for miscellaneous characters; it can vary by keyboard.
For the US standard keyboard, the '`~' key
 
VK_OEM_7 0xDE
Used for miscellaneous characters; it can vary by keyboard.
For the US standard keyboard, the 'single-quote/double-quote' key

 

Just test the all the VK_OEM ( there are nine if i remember well ) and see what working for you.

For the italian keyboard the right code for quote is "BF"

 

found it with this little snippet

 

put cursor in console output area and press F5 to run

then press the quote key to see the right code for your keyboard
