AHK remap glitch with percent sign

[dsewq1LYJ]

Code: Select all

5::`%

Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.

Code: Select all

5::%

Error: This parameter contains a variable name missing its ending percent sign.

It looks like this remap is successful, but the compiler forget it needs '`' prefix to send percent sign.

but this problem can be solve by using

Code: Select all

5::+5

Is it a bug?

[just me]

The following keys are not supported by the built-in remapping method:

• ...
• A percent sign (%) as a destination key. Instead use the VK/SC method.
• ...

also, not sure about your KB, but mine lacks a % key. % is (as you figured out) the number 5, modified with shift: +5.
So % isn't a key, it's a key-combo of shift+5.
