gemtoc Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Can you fix this in the coming release of Autoit. Can you release the bug fix this week. The two lines contain critical bugs that prevent the development of my tutoring typing keyboard. HotKeySet("{}}","CaptureAlert") ; bug does not capture HotKeySet("&","CaptureAlert") ; bug does not capture Func CaptureAlert MsgBox(0,0,@HotKeyPressed) ; !#+^{} these special characters show a bug indicative of 3 characters instead of 1 for @HotKeyPressed in the message box result. Fix the result of @HotKeyPressed to be 1 character to fix the bug. EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajag Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I can not see any bug here... HotKeySet("&","CaptureAlert") works fine here on my german keyboard when pressing "SHIFT" and "6" at the same time HotKeySet("{}}","CaptureAlert") This is not a valid Key! What key do you want to be the HotKey here? argumentum and FrancescoDiMuro 2 Rule #1: Always do a backup Rule #2: Always do a backup (backup of rule #1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Do you really think that our huge development team is just waiting to create a patch for you in the shortest possible time?</sarcasm> Back to real life: First you have to proof that it is a real bug Then you have to create a Trac ticket Then one of the developer has to accept the ticket as a bug Then one of the developer has to write a patch Then you have to wait for the release of the next beta version of AutoIt That's called professional software development. But I think this is nothing new for you, since you develop software yourself. So could you please start with step 1 ... BTW: We (developers, forum members ...) are just volunteers spending their rare spare time to develop and support AutoIt.

gemtoc Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 I discovered that the & is not a bug in reading that $SS_NOPREFIX was missing from my label and every time the HotKeySet() informed the label of the hotkey pressed the ampersand was not read correctly because $SS_NOPREFIX was not there. Now it is working with a label with $SS_NOPREFIX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemtoc Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 I think this post illustrates the problem I was having with the right brace not registering. The Autoit help manual specifies that the right brace must be enclosed in braces. Somehow there is a bug still from 2013 when the post found it. I will look into a Trac Ticket to submit the bug.

gemtoc Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 HotKeySet("{}}","CaptureAlert") This is correct syntax. I posted the bug of right brace not registering in Trac here: https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/autoit/ticket/3844 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelsearch Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 This works for me, after typing the right brace on keyboard : Maybe it depends on computer's keyboard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemtoc Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 I will post my typing tutor script in example scripts for those interested in it. I hope the bug associated with the promised brace of Send() more info on that page / HotKeySet() in the help file get resolved by the developer. It is annoying how it says its supposed to work on the Send help file page section on right brace. It took me a long time to find a work around the bug by reading on the forum. The support is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
