Help with Zoom Function (Stellaris)

[wintermute2_0]

Hello, I'm trying to get the following script to work in a game (Stellaris):

PgUp::WheelUp
PgDn::WheelDown

I have a physical disability and can't use a mouse, so this script would allow me to zoom in and out using my on-screen keyboard. But when I press PgUp or PgDn on my on-screen keyboard, nothing happens. When I ask someone to press the keys on the physical keyboard, the script works. The script also does not work if I ask someone to press the physical key when the mouse cursor is positioned over the PgUp or PgDn key on my on-screen keyboard.

I've used this script for other games, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas? Thanks.

What on-screen keyboard are you using? Also from what I know the mouse wheel down usually scrolls what ever is under the mouse cursor. So if you are on the On-Screen Keyboard when you try to scroll then it might not pass that on to the game. You could also try rebinding the zoom on Stellaris to another key.

I'm using the on-screen keyboard in Windows 10. I tried binding to other keys, but I have the same problem. This is very strange.

Try the following code out. On rare occasions Stellaris might be losing focus and is no longer considered the active window.

Code: Select all

PgUp::
	if !WinActive( "Stellaris ahk_exe stellaris.exe" )
	{
		WinActivate, Stellaris ahk_exe stellaris.exe
	}
	Send, {WheelUp}
Return

PgUp::
	if !WinActive( "Stellaris ahk_exe stellaris.exe" )
	{
		WinActivate, Stellaris ahk_exe stellaris.exe
	}
	Send, {WheelDown}
Return
