Could be a better way to do this.. only thing is if you want to use shift with normal function, you won't be able.

It could be that you need to add more delay. Give a generous 3 second delay between clicks and adjust as needed, as if you were doing it manually. Another option would be adding "WinWaitActive" to the script. comment out a few lines to see how the script is behaving, step at a time. #t:: Click ; I a...

There may be a more elegant way to do this, but this will work. Put the script in your startup menu.
Edit:

you may take a look at windows "Task Scheduler". AutoHotKey may not be a requirement.

You might also try image search.

I guess put it in a loop, that would be my idea.

If the RDP is connected to a network drive, can you have a script running

On the RDP that does;
Hotkey::
FileAppend, VolUp, mydoc.txt

on your PC that does

Loop
fileread, mydoc.txt

If In string, X
volUp


just an idea

to clarify, do any scripts work on the laptop? Maybe try running as administrator? umm... hmm..

Edit: maybe try F keys instead of the modifier keys?

It looks encrypted to me. I just tried it. It looks just like the AHK script code?

works fine here, you may need to look through the rest of your code Title = Hello there return !y:: MsgBox The active window is "%Title%". return Also worked for me. I think it's his laptop that doesn't respond to it. I wonder if his alt requires a combo press of a fn key, like some do to use F keys.

You may try looking at key history. have any script running, do your finger tap, then "open" the script (double click on the icon in the tray) and push control+k or find key history in the view menu.

I'm sorry, i misread. I thought you were looking for a property list. i didnt see background color. Looks like at least in windows 7, it's not an option with out changing all of your computer colors. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/changing-the-color-of-windows-me...

I would think it just registers as a Lbutton or Rbutton depending on the gesture.
